My First TTM

I've been a Steve Garvey fan ever since I was a kid (8 or 9) and read a book called "Skinnybones" where the main characters idol was Steve Garvey. This was back in '84 or so. I remember being so excited when I got Garvey's '87 Topps, as it was right up there with Canseco and McGwire and Bo Jackson for me.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when I sent Steve a letter and two cards to sign (with a small donation). When checking the mail today, here is what I got:

Beautiful sig! I got both cards back signed (but they're the same, so I just posted one) in a matter of days! I'm going to give one to my nephew along with a copy of "Skinnybones" in a couple of years when he's ond enough for the book (he's 4 now). Thanks, Steve!
2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    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.

    Congrats. Did you wait long? I sent to him a while back and still nothing.

    Less than two weeks from me sending it off to getting it back. Did you include a donation? Also, I was given two addresses for Garvey and I used the one on Old Prospectors Trail. Did you use that one?
