Eleven Returns Plus a Private Signing!

Today was a huge day at the mailbox, my biggest in a very long time.

First I got a Pete Rose signed 1971 Topps back from a Tom Orr signing.

Ron Nischwitz wrote a very nice response to the questions in my letter, but used up the ink in his pen before signing the cards.  I received the 1963 and 1966 Topps back in dying ballpoint.  I may try to send another 1963 Topps in the future to upgrade this one.

Bernie Allen signed his 1964, 1967, 1968 and 1969 Topps.

Deacon Jones also wrote a very nice note in response to my letter, and signed his 1963 Topps rookie card already signed by Len Gabrielson.

Tom (Tommie) Reynolds signed his 1969 and 1970 Topps for my collection.

Johnny Edwards signed his 1969, 1970 and 1971 Topps, and also included three signed and personalized pictures.

John Doherty signed his 1975 Topps.

Dick Green signed his 1967 and 1970 Topps.

Bob Duliba signed his 1962, 1963 and 1966 Topps.

Art Howe signed the 1978 Topps Astros team card, as well as his 1980 and 1983 Topps and 2003 Topps Heritage cards.

Ken Aspromonte signed his 1962 Topps and also included a signed picture for me.

And finally, Ron Hansen signed his 1961, 1962, 1967 and 1970 Topps.

Al Hrabosky Return

Al Hrabosky was the first player I had sent a 1977 Pepsi Disc back in April.  I was not quite certain on the postage amounts, and if the envelope sizes were adequate.  I sent a few after this one and received them back promptly, so when I saw returns coming back from him on SCN and didn't receive mine, I was afraid I had screwed something up.

But, I received it back today, along with the 1976 and 1980 Topps I had enclosed.

I haven't sent out any of these discs for quite a while so I need to take another look to see if there are some I have that I can send out.

Four TTM Returns Today

 A good day at the mailbox today with four returns.

Eddie Robinson signed his 1952 Bowman and answered the questions in my letter.

Luis Tiant signed the 1968 Strikeout Leaders card from 1969 which was previously signed by Denny McLain.  It's off to McDowell shortly.

Ray Herbert signed his 1961 Post, 1963 Pitching Leaders and 1966 Topps cards.

Finally, Ken Berry signed his 1969, 1970 and 1974 Topps.

Hardy, Palmer and Wickersham Returns

I received three returns today:

Larry Hardy signed his 1974 Topps and included a postcard-sized coaching card as well.

Jim Palmer signed his 1966 Topps that I posted about breaking out of it's slab a while go.  

Finally, Dave Wickersham signed his 1961, 1965, 1968 and 1969 Topps.
