Today's mail brought me the autograph of former Bengals and Cowboys defensive back, Ray Horton. As a defensive back and punt returner for the Bengals, Ray helped guide them to the AFC Championship in 1988, and into Super Bowl XXIII. Coming short against the 49ers in that Super Bowl, Ray would get another shot, as he was a key member of that great defense for that Cowboys team who won Super Bowl XXVII. He was the defensive backs coach for those great Steelers teams that won Super Bowls XL and XLIII, and now he is coaching up the defensive backs for the Arizona Cardinals. 1st autograph for the new mailbox I just put up this weekend!

Got Whitey Ford again last night...it came out pretty bad...either he is getting really old or just don't care...totally signed in the wrong way and the ink did not take to the card so well either...it was a 4 player card with room for all 4 to sign and he signed right across the entire thing...

Today's mail brought the autograph of former Notre Dame center, John Scully. John was a member of that legendary 1977 National Championship team, and would go on to be an All-American in 1980. He was drafted by the Falcons in 1981, and enjoyed a nice 10 year NFL career in Atlanta.

Extremely slow mailweek this week. The only ttms that I received was the Franki Valli cards signed on the back and a sweet Danny Worth signed card for my Toledo Mudhens pc. I did get something last Friday, but I was off to M.I.S. for race weekend and didn't have a cjance to post it. I got 2 of 2 from Greg Bingham.

Hey, want to see what you guys think about something. I usually wait about 1 month after a particular sports season is over before I write to a former athlete of that sport (I've just given up on current players). Been doing football for a while, and now about to start with hockey. Though there is still 6 more months in the year left, my success percentage this year has been way down since I've been tracking my requests (2010 - 66%, 2011 - 74%, 2012 - 45%.) Has anyone else experienced a huge drop off this year?

I had a huge end to 2011 going into 2012. I have noticed that my ttms have really dropped off diring the last couple of weeks. I suppose it's because of people going on vacationsa and such. I'm with you Jeffery. I really don't write to current players anymore either. Last football season, I wrote to a bunch of rookies and second year players. I didn't get nothing back from any of them. Baseball hasn't been much better to me either. Not one success from spring traing and only one success from the current players I have written to so far. Danny Worth.

Ended the mail week better than it started. Saturday, I got 2 of 1 from Dusty Ryan for my Toledo Mud Hens PC.
