One refused today, Red Schoendienst, thought I might get lucky if he saw the MO return address. I did get two more negro league players, Herald Gordon and John "Mule" Miles. Mr. Miles also included a nice signed index.

Dboneesq · May 6, 2009 12:00AM

Two nice autos. A good addition with that message on the IC by THE MULE.

HeritageAddict · May 6, 2009 7:21AM

Doug, yeah I liked the not from Mr. Miles, makes a nice addition to the card. 2 more returns today Bill Virdon (who apparently lives about 15 minutes away from me) and Barb Hoffman who kept my custom but included two signed cards of her own.

HeritageAddict · May 8, 2009 11:57AM

Great return today, 9 returns. The Ali is an auto pen I'm sure, and I did get a refused from Bill Mazeroski today.

Dboneesq · May 8, 2009 12:02PM

Doran ... the pics are not showing.

HeritageAddict · May 8, 2009 12:32PM

Thanks Doug, I think I have it fixed now.

HeritageAddict · May 9, 2009 11:34AM

Another great day today, it amazes me how nice some of the negro league players are. Mr. Lumpkin included a short note thanking me for my letter and telling me he is 90 years old. 90 years old and happily signs autographs for free, what a great guy.

HeritageAddict · May 11, 2009 11:24AM

5 more returns today, man this stuff is addicting. I also got a nice surprise today, I ordered Bob Motley's book from amazon (cost me $4 incl. shipping) so that I could send it to him to be signed, it showed up today and it was already signed by both Bob and Byron Motley, great deal for $4.

Dboneesq · May 11, 2009 11:28AM

AGAIN ... nice looking returns ... Being a GIANT fan I especially like that Robustelli!

HeritageAddict · May 12, 2009 11:05AM

Three returns today, I'm getting really spoiled receiving multiple returns every day.

HeritageAddict · May 18, 2009 12:34PM

5 returns, actually 2 of them showed up Saturday but I was a bit out of sorts that day. I know the actor is not sports, but I started branching out a bit.

BassPro77 · May 18, 2009 2:21PM

nice collection.

big harry morgan fan. nice work

halosfan · May 18, 2009 2:25PM

+1 for a MASH sighting. Now you need to get the rest of the cast.

Dboneesq · May 18, 2009 9:48PM

Doran ... once again, GREAT cards and great autos.

Please keep us up on any info you get regarding your sister and her family.

GOD BLESS.

HeritageAddict · May 20, 2009 11:47AM

Thanks guys I was pretty excited to get the Harry Morgan back, I do have requests out to most of the living cast, except for Klinger and Radar who I don't have good addresses for. Here are my returns for today, pretty good day.

Dboneesq · May 20, 2009 11:52AM

WTG ONCE AGAIN DORAN!

I saw the news on the other thread that your B-I-L spoke a few words. May GOD enable him to do better each and every day.

HeritageAddict · May 31, 2009 1:14PM

I've been a little slow updating my thread, but here are the updates from the past week...something for everybody, some great returns.

Dboneesq · May 31, 2009 1:29PM

Once again ... real nice autos.

I'd go thru the entire cast of Batman and see who is still living ... then send a card to each of them. That's a nice little set to have.

thenavarro · May 31, 2009 2:08PM

Doran,

Great stuff, those present really well.

Mike

HeritageAddict · May 31, 2009 11:23PM

Thanks guys. Mike, I'm pretty happy with the way the cards look with the autos on them, I think my favorites are the Olympic cards though with the logo from the year they won their gold as the background. Doug, I think quite a few members of the Batman cast are alive, but I don't think many of them sign for free.

jlzinck · June 1, 2009 4:44AM

Damni Doran did you change where you host the pictures??

I can't see anything after 5/8.

Stupid work filters

HeritageAddict · June 1, 2009 9:10AM

Yeah, I've been hosting the images on my own site, actually makes it easier for me...not sure why work filters would keep them from showing.

HeritageAddict · June 7, 2009 1:20PM

Here are my responses from the past week, some more great returns! Mr. Lee and Mr. Cervi were kind enough to include some extra autos.

6/7

csmtampa · June 7, 2009 1:23PM

I think Julie Newmar charges $20.00 for an auto, but that would def be worth it

HeritageAddict · June 8, 2009 6:30AM

I did actually meet Julie Newmar a few years ago, very nice lady...somewhere around here I think I have an auto'd picture but not a card.

HeritageAddict · June 21, 2009 7:12AM

Well my computer has been in the shop for a couple of weeks so I haven't had a chance to update recently. Here are my newest returns.

Dboneesq · June 21, 2009 8:27AM

Doran ... you have outdone yourself again! GOOD WORK!

HeritageAddict · June 25, 2009 9:01AM

My returns have slowed to a crawl of late, but that is my fault for not continually sending more out. Here are my two returns for today, I was fully expecting to get the stamped auto on the Bush, but it is actually signed in ball point pen.

storm888 · June 25, 2009 9:06AM

LOVE the GW card.

...

It might be good to pull first-pitch shots of the other living
prexies and send them too.

Dboneesq · June 25, 2009 9:22AM

WOW! That's a great auto from DUBYA!

thenavarro · June 25, 2009 10:27AM

Doran,

I'm not sure how Bush is doing his mechanical signatures as autopens are generally the same size unless they have different matrices made to accomodate different size items (which might be the case). But I found what seems to be a match for your GW signature which might indicate that it's autopen or some other mechanical variety. Leads me to believe that in addition to his other documented autopens, he has at least two matrices for this signature, one for smaller items such as cards, and larger items such as books.

In comparing the two examples of George W. Bush, it appears that the 'tail' on the end of his last name dips more in HeritageAddict's version than the exemplar shown in the book. The angle goes down on the card, and it is horizontal on the book. just my observation. but, as you said, it might be two different auto-pens. always tough to tell from a scan.

prscott933 · June 25, 2009 11:54AM

I like that Bush is in a Cards jacket!

HeritageAddict · June 25, 2009 11:55AM

Could be Mike, I was hoping that since it is in ballpoint maybe it was not an autopen. Plus his card is smaller than a regular card, the Jenner is standard sized, I made my early mail outs smaller so I could use them for cuts. Is there anything in particular I should look for to distinguish between authentic and auto pen?

HighChopper · June 25, 2009 12:05PM

My Bush auto ... for reference:

Those type of variations in autopens are typically made when the operator begins to move the item being signed right before its through.

VitoCo1972 · June 25, 2009 12:43PM

Mike Navarro, you know nothing about political autographs. Why don't you just shut your yap!!!!

j/k...great detective work. I agree with you on the people pulling the item off the autopen a half second early for the variation. Out of curiosity, did you get rid of all your presidential autos or did you keep a few that you liked?

HeritageAddict · August 1, 2009 2:39AM

I haven't sent out any new requests, but I'm still getting a few in. I realized I hadn't updated the thread recently so here are my most recent returns.
