@dtwohig’s Autographed Baseball Cards: Postscript

As I mentioned back on August 2oth when this series started, about 40% of the players I mailed cards to sent them back signed.  The vast majority of the remaining cards I never received back.  In several cases though I did receive requests for money:

  • Ray Burris asked for $5 with the money going to his stepson fighting in Afghanistan
  • Randy Jones enclosed a price list from Major League Protection Systems
  • Jerry Koosman asked for a $10 donation for charity
  • Mickey Lolich’s wife wrote me a note back asking for $10 per card
  • Elliot Maddox asked for $5 per card
  • Mike Marshall sent back a pre-printed note referring me to an official representative that sells his merchandise
  • Amos Otis just wrote “$5 per card”
  • Ron Swoboda sent a pre-printed note requesting $5 per card – and initialed it
  • Mike Torrez wrote “Dan, $10 per auto”
