Bobby Shantz Return

Just one return today, but it's a great one from 99-year-old Bobby Shantz, who still has a beautiful signature.

Although I had these cards already, I can't resist sending out vintage cards to the old-timers as 
I know the opportunity will be gone in the not-to-distant future.

He signed a 1956 and 1958 Topps with a fine blue marker.  I included $10 with my request.



When I send out cards like these and include $5, $10 or even $20, it makes me wonder how much these guys make in a year from ttm requests.  I can't even guess, but Mr. Shantz probably makes more than most 99-year-olds.
