I was surprised to see the sase in my Informed Delivery email with a stamp that I hadn't used in years. I bought several rolls of flag forever stamps that I have been using for a couple years, but this sase had a different stamp, so I knew it was going to be a long return. Unfortunately, many times long returns come back unsigned, as if someone is cleaning out a locker for a team, or a family member after a player passes away.
But this time the cards were signed. Bailey Ober signed two copies of his 2022 Topps Heritage that I had sent to spring training in February of 2024. The postmark came from North Carolina rather than Minneapolis or Fort Myers. I had offered one card for him to keep, but he signed and returned both.
I also received three cards from a Delmon Young signing with Halkman Sports. These cards are helping to fill some holes in my Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter Twins team sets, but unfortunately, did not complete any of the sets I'm working on. I have a lot of Joe Mauer cards left to get, and I think I needed Francisco Liriano on two of the sets also.
I also have a Metrodome Banner still to be returned from this signing. I reached out to see why it hadn't shipped yet, and he let me know that it was awaiting authentication. However, there is a picture of it being signed on their Instagram and Facebook pages. Here's the Facebook photo.
