I certainly didn't jinx my return streak by mentioning it yesterday, because I received four more returns today.
Larry Bowa signed both his 1982 Topps, a 1988 Topps and a 2005 Topps Heritage. He also answered a couple questions I asked in my letter.
Mike Fiore signed his 1971 Topps, a 1971 Topps Buy Back, and the 71 Royals team card in his usual black ballpoint.
George Mitterwald signed his 1978 Topps and three Twins team cards for me.
And Jim Palmer signed both his 1982 Topps for my set collection. I included $20 with my request.
I've already sent out 33 requests in just the first 9 days of the month (some will go out tomorrow). Mostly sending off to players from the 1982 set but also including their cards from other years when possible. I also recently bought a handful of vintage cards from the 50's and 60's to send out, even though I already have them, just because I really miss getting these old cards back. For some reason, the cards from the mid 70's and later just aren't as fun for me.
