I previously sent a request to Jose Santiago without any cash and my cards were returned unsigned. I tried again with $5 per and received these cards back today. I sent two 1965 Topps because all I had was a $20.
His signature is getting pretty shaky. Here's a card I received from him back in 2006.
I was surprised to see a return in my Informed Delivery email with a local postmark. It turned out to be Twins Third Base Coach Tommy Watkins. I sent this request to Twins spring training back in February.
With Rocco Baldelli getting fired from his role, Watkins is probably assuming he's gone as well. Maybe he's cleaning out his mailbox. This was my second attempt with him. I sent the same card back in 2021 and received it back unsigned.
I wonder if I'll receive any other spring training requests back now that the season is over for the Twins. I had sent 18, I think, and only received 3 or 4 returns.
