One of the oddest TTM's I've ever gotten came today

I haven't been doing a lot of TTM's in the past few months, so when I receive one it is sort of like a surprise present. Today I got one from Belgium with two signed photos, three signed index cards and two dollars in the envelope. It was from former tennis great Kim Clijsters. I had written her last August and thrown the two bucks in to cover the postage. I thought it was really cool that she paid for the postage and sent me back the two bucks. Then I looked on the envelope and I noticed the postage was in Belgian stamps of Kim Clijsters. I thought that was just the greatest! How odd to get an autograph from the person of whom the stamp is depicting. I wish she had signed the SASE, but the five autographs will keep me quite satisfied.

    It could never happen in the US. To be on US currency or Postage Stamps you must have died.

    But, that is great. Could you post a photo of the Stamps and Photo's?

    I don't know why it doesn't work. When I click on the address bar a second time it seems to reload the page and it works just fine. Who knows? Anyway, I sent you the pics.

    That is a cool story. I've never gotten into autographs, but the TTM biz sounds like fun.
