Very cool project and colorful cards. Your ink costs must be crazy!
I love the really obscure mariner and Dodgers autos. i have been trying to get all the Dodgers and any Mariners cards from 1977-1987 signed and the best ones are those you never see. Everyone has Steve Garvey, Fernando Valenzuela and Ron Cey, but who has Orlando Alvarez, Larry See and Myron White?
I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.

Thanks for the kind words --- it is a very fun project but I do have to say the returns are taking longer to come back -- like I have said in some past posts I have now been sending to some low return percentage players and I have also begun to try the newer players (this spring I have sent out over 30 to players at spring training)
For a bit of a tease I have set another project in motion and will reveal it in a month or so
Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Awesome project! Love how Charboneau also added 80 ROY, LOL..
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Closing out another one of my projects for 2014 --- reached the 1300+ mark this year. Even thought the successes are longer and longer apart I still am excited every time a return comes back. Enjoy the night -- Happy New Year Mike
You started the year with a Red BIRD and ended with a Red SOX. Awesome returns as always. Love keeping up with this thread.
STAY HEALTHY!

Just spent the last hour or so going through the thread to read all the return stories.
Keep up the great work, this may be the most entertaining thread ive ever seen.

Same here, this is such a cool idea!! Thanks for making my morning!!
The Karl Pagel return is now my longest wait -- it was sent on 9-26-2011 and came back on 11/8/2013 ~~ 774 days
Took a shot with Paul O'Neill and Fernando -- psyched they came back and I messed up and spelled Valenzuela wrong
Happy New Year to you Mike!!! Please try to keep the noise down for us country folk.

I liked that one too for obvious reasons Mike. Btw, what are we both still doing up on the message board at this time anyway, LOL.

Awesome idea and collection. I love your Questionnaire and the stories and notes the players send back, it is nice to see.
Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy the night -- Happy New Year
