UNREAL response today. By far the most I ever received in one day ... TWENTY-THREE!!!!!

OK ... here we go ... By far the most TTMs I have received back in one day. Being a New YAWKA my entire life, more than half f these are old time METS and YANKEES. HOPE YOU ENJOY!
First, the only one who did not sign. I thought that tax evasion jail time would get him to sign for free. He does not, but at least his fee is going to a good cause.

<< <i>Cubfan ... it's coming along. Best part is that it is an inexpensive way to have a lot of fun and stay active in this great hobby! >>
True that! I can spend 100 bucks on an unopened box and get worthless garbage. I can spend 30 bucks on cards and 70 in shipping costs and end up with a BUNCH of autos. It's a ton of fun opening the mail so much that it turned my collecting focus upside down! Ive never enjoyed the hobby more than now.
Man that's nice. I enjoyed it so much I couldn't believe there were 23 of them...had to go back and count them. Found myself saying that can't possibly be all of them. Congratulations... I have started sending out cards to past NY Giant players and will start next with Yankees. Met Phil Simms once and sent him a 5x7 of the two of us and really hopes he signs it!
Unbelievable how many handwritten personal responses you got, makes it even more fun... Ken
<< <i>Doug:Met Phil Simms once and sent him a 5x7 of the two of us and really hopes he signs it!Ken >>

Turley is also a millionaire that made his fortune after baseball with Primerica Financial Services.
Per Wikipedia In 1964, Turley spent one season as pitching coach of the Red Sox before leaving baseball. Later on Turley became a Representative for Primerica Financial Services earning more than he did as a professional baseball player. (In the 1995 version of the Primerica Financial Independence Council it states that he was paid $150,000 as a professional baseball player compared to his $2,000,000 that he earned through working with Primerica). He retired from the business and gave half of his business to his son and the other half to his secretary. He now resides in his lush home located in the state of Georgia.

Very nice stuff, Doug! I love getting notes back from the AFL players that I write to. That letter that you got is priceless. Truly a different type of players from those of today. Enjoy!
Todd Tobias - Grateful Collector - I focus on autographed American Football League sets, Fleer & Topps, 1960-1969, and lacrosse cards.
You guys are both so right ... I can't imagine too many current ballplayers (even bench guys) thanking ME for asking them for an auto. There are quite a few other letters that I received from players very similar to Mr. Harris' letter. Those were different times.
