    Looks like the Archie Manning card was signed by ALICE MARY...

    Be careful not to get too addicted. BTW, Peyton is still a reasonably reliable TTM signer considering his stature (via PeyBack Foundation with a $5-10 donation). Eli is a lost cause.

    Why? I don't know.

    EDIT to add: He also charges $5 so I really have no idea why I sent it.

    No need to apologize. AO is one of those fine players (Ken Singleton, Chris Chambliss) that sort of flew under the radar.

    Amos Otis was a great player and is one of the most under rated 70s player. Even in Kansas, where we act like the Missouri KC Royals are our local team, he was forgotten it seemed in the 80s.

    Out of curiousity, do you just send cards in or have you had any success with other items being signed such as baseballs, helmets, etc.

    Two (really 3) returns today.

    One of my favorite Braves in the early 90's. In my short letter, I told him I preferred his cards with him in a Braves uniform. So he sent me a 2nd card of his own in a Braves uni.

    Got back two today. The Archibald was really exciting for me. My 1st basketball TTM and a HOF'er.

    The 2nd card was just laying on my desk so I used it for a TTM.

    But be warned with Cerone. If you send him more than one card, he will only sign one and return all others. So if you want more than one from him, you'll have to send out in different mailer.

    Even though I dislike the Phillies, really love this one. Card was at least a PSA 9 before I sent it. Card didn't seem to suffer any damage in the PWE.

    Most times, Grace does not return the original cards you sent. That probably was not your card, Bill. I got the same thing back with an 88 Score traded. EX condition at best and I sent a minty one. I think he pre-signs many so its easy for him then just returns you what he has in stock. Unless of course you send him something he doesnt have in stock!

    He is not known to use an auto-pen, so I would say it's not.

    just the way the ink splatters around his name looks a lot like the Gretzky auto-pens I have over the years...

    ...could also have been the way he pressed the pen to the card

    Paint pens do that uneven spreading on older cards so it's hard to tell that it's an autopen just based on that. I'm not sure how often paint pens are used for autopens either.
