I forgot to update my returns from Tuesday, and didn't receive any yesterday.
I had missed out on sending to Joe Margoneri up to this point because he only has a 1957 Topps and I usually don't send those out. They are one of my least favorite cards because the colors are so horrible. But I am happy to add 95-year-old Mr. Margoneri to my collection.
I sent Cookie Rojas (who is "only" 86) 8 cards and a blue Staedtler along with his fee and he signed them all very nicely. These may be the nicest signatures I've received from him over the years.
And today I received a couple cards from 93-year-old Chuck Essegian.
I am sending out three requests with pens today, including Camilo Pascual, Bob Skinner and Ted Kazanski. All three are over 90 years old. I focus on these "vintage" players in my collection, and I can see the end of the road coming soon as we continue to lose some of these guys.
