Today I received a 1962 Topps All Star card signed by Orlando Cepeda in two weeks. I enclosed $20 with my request which is his going rate. It was $10 for a long time, and I didn't notice the increase for my last few requests but he was kind enough to sign for me anyway.
The returns will really be slowing down since I have sent very few requests lately. I might be able to get to some this week, but there will still be a week or two where the returns are few and far between. It's been a while since I got back a return that has been out for a long time. I'm hoping for one or two of those to help fill the gaps.
I should probably review the returns on SCN for my 1973, 1975 and 1978 sets to see if any spotty signers are replying lately. There are probably a bunch of signers from the 75 and 78 sets I just haven't gotten around to so I should get going on those.
I've got over 300 stamps and 400 envelopes (of both the business and 6 3/4 sizes) so I can send out a lot of requests without spending any additional money. I've also got a lot of unsigned ROMLB. I should take an evening and send out a handful of ball to add to my collection. Whitey Herzog tops that list for me. I've even got a $20 bill in my wallet.
