Well ... the returns were a little slow the last several days. Here is what I got back over the past few days. First up would be an AWESOME auto, but my guess is it is auto pen, considering he did not sign my card and returned an "autographed" picture of himself. NONE OTHER THAN ONE OF THE BEST EVER - NOLAN RYAN
Next up is one to add to my 1982 Donruss collection: VON HAYES
Here are a couple to add to my 1970 "scratch off" inserts: CLAUDE OSTEEN & MIKE HEGAN

Sweet successes Doug, those Scratch off cards are neat. Mailman brought me a rejection today. Jack Nicklaus, I sent him a Barratt's rookie and a 81 Donruss c/o the Memorial Tournament a few weeks ago. Tourney starts this week, but they forwarded it to Golden Bear Enterprises in Fl. They sent a fake signed photo but at least returned my two cards and my check (was a $35 donation to the Ohio State Golf Program). I've already put the two cards back in the mail c/o The Memorial Tournament in Ohio again. I figure they'll get there Wednesday or Thursday and Jack will be there so you never know. He signs c/o The Masters the week of that tourney so I figured I'll try again. Worst case scenario, I lose the cards, but oh well, they don't mean anything to me unsigned anyway.
Thanks Mike ... I had some of the scratch off cards (insides are UNscratched) sitting around and I thought they would look kewl signed, so I sent some out.
Good luck with "FAT JACK" ... hopefully you will get them both signed soon! I have a couple of cards out to Arnold Palmer right now. (Sent them to his home in FL)

In the overall scheme of things, paying $5 or $10 per auto is still a good deal (compared to what many HOFers charge at private signings/card shows). I am getting every regular Topps/Fleer/Philadlphia/Score card signed for every NFL HOFer and I have no problem paying $5/$10 or even up to $20 per auto to get the card signed. As a matter of fact, I often send $ to the players even if they doesn't charge...(i.e. Chuck Bednarik, Willie Davis).
What you have to keep in mind are all the idiots out there who bombard these guys with requests to stock their E-Bay stores with practically free merchandise. By charging a nominal amount, these "dealers" will often leave the players alone.
Just my 2 cents.

Needless to say I was quite impressed by all the above. HOWEVER, I was most impressed by the lovely letter I received from the wife of College HOF Football Player "GEORGE SAVITSKY". I sent him a Topps '55 AA for signature. Can you believe she sent me this letter? WOW ... the Old Timers are AMAZING!!! >>
I'm just now reading through this thread and I simply can not believe how generous Ms. Savitsky's letter is. That truly was the Greatest Generation of Americans. I don't know if this country will ever see the likes of them again. Let's all hope that a scintilla of their selflessness rubbed off on the rest of us.
Kiss me once, shame on you. Kiss me twice.....let's party.

For the most part I don't think it's worth getting the common ones slabbed ... $20 plus shipping is a bit steep, IMO.
