Is sending two items to be autographed a bit much?

BBN

I'm getting ready to send an old leather helmet and a poster to Sammy Baugh requesting for him to sign both in the same package. He'll sign anything that people send to him. My question is would two things sent at once be asking too much from him? I'm getting ready to enclose my garage into a family room decked out with my Skins memorabilia and would like to have both of these displayed. I'll be sending him two sharpies, one silver for the helmet & one black for the poster, tape to reseal the box, $10 in postage stamps and have my address written twice on the inside flaps so they can have them outside of the box ready to go when he's done. I'm trying to make this as easy on him as I can. His daughter helps him with the packaging and the mailman stops by to pick up the packages everyday. All he'll have to do is sign and reseal. What do yall think? Would two items to be signed OK?

I would say it might be asking a bit much since you want both signed in different pens. If it were the same pen for both I would say go for it. But who knows, he might sign them both just as you ask and think nothing of it.

Thanks for the response. I could test and see if the silver sharpie shows on a white background.

Whenever I send Auto request through the mail I will send 2 or 3 cards. I ask the player to sign what he or she wants and keep the rest.

Send it and see what happens. What's the worst that could happen?
Don't think he would sign one and not the other, and go through the bother of mailing back without signing both. You should toss something in for the effort though. In the past, I have tossed in one or 2 $10 American Express Gift Checks, depending on the items.
