@ Jeffery. Yes, it is the famous artist Dick Perez! I got him to sign an old DonRuss Diamond Kings checklist card that has his picture on it! I think that it is from the 1993 set. I'm not real sure as I don't have the card in front of me at the moment! I know of some collectors that have sent thier favorite DK card to him for a signature.

On the ttm front, I received signed cards from Derrick McKey, Chris Chamblis, and Michael Nutter! Mr. Nutter also included a letter on official Mayor of Philadelphia letterhead! No autopen on this one!

Hey, Russ, Chris Chambliss is a great guy in person. I met him in 2008 at a card show here in Atlanta. I aksed him about that HR in the 1976 ALCS against the Royals, and he said, "Man, I was just trying to survive!"

I sent these items out on Aug.18, and received them back on Sept. 12.

also received the following pre-print, mailed to revelations entertainment, but came back with a post mark from grenada,ms.

Today, I got a lousy pre-printed picture from Kevin Youklis. This is in response to a spring training autograph request from 2009! The only bright side is the fact that I got my cards sent back to me along with the pre-print and rubber stamped letter. I'll just list this on Listia to try and get a few credits.

Russ, every Red Sox player I have EVER written to the past few years has resulted in that. Save your stamps. That is what they do for EVERYBODY. Today's mail brought me the autograph of former University of Georgia and NFL player, Matt Robinson. Matt was an all-time great at UGA, tag-teaming with Ray Goff at the quarterback spot in helping UGA win the SEC Championship in 1976, and finish #10 in the country. In the  NFL, he played for the Jets, Broncos, and Bills from 1977-1982, passing for 3,519 yards and 18 touchdowns. In 1978, he led the NFL with 16.1 yards per pass completion.

Today, I received ttms from Brad Daughtery and Angela Landsbury. Landsbury returned my trading cards unsigned, but sent a signed 3x5 picture of herself. A little disappointing as I wanted to add those  Anastaia cards to my daughters' collection, but at least we got something!

I got 2 more Wayne Gretzky autos in the mail today!  (Autopens of course, but I'm always thrilled to get stuff from the Great One!)
