Nice mail day to end the week. I got a Listia package and a ttm!

First, from Listia, I received 3 signed Topps Archives baseball cards.

Wally Westlake - OF Cleveland Indians
Vern Benson - IF St. Louis Cardinals
Dick Bokelmann - P St. Louis Cardinals

I was a little bummed because I bid on the Bokelmann not realizing that I had already won the exact same card from the same seller! I knew that there was a reason that I liked it so much! LOL! Oh well, I'll probably either re-list it or trade it.

Secondly, I got a ttm return from former Detroit Pistons player Joe Dumars. I was glad to get this one back because I sent him this great picture that I found in an ESPN magazine. They had done previews for the current NBA season and the enlisted some of Marvel Comics top artists to designe NBA themed comic book covers. The one with Joe is titled "Pistons Destination: Doom". It shows the former Detroit Bad Boy standing with Dr.Doom observing an assembly line of cyborgs wearing Pistons uniforms! This one is really appeals to me because I am such a fan-boy when it comes to anything super hero or sci-fi.

I wrote to Joe Dumars c/o The Detroit Pistons.

Today, I received an autograph from Alan Dale. The photo is Christmas card size. I thought someone had sent me a Christmas card before I opened it. The postal service smashed it up. The picture is totally trashed. I wouldn't have thought that size envelope would come that way. Mr. Dale wrote a nice note about Widmore on the back. It took over 4 months and now I have to write again.

Hey, everyone! I've gotten a little lazy this week, and am late in telling you all about my recent mail success of Los Angeles Sparks star, Candace Parker. Candace was an All-American basketball player at Tennessee, and is now one of the WNBA's brightest young stars. She signed a picture of herself I cut out of a Sports Illustrated depicting her tearing the rim off a basketball goal in an urban basketball court. She also sent along a very nice signed letter saying she had not seen that picture in a long time, and was excited to hear what a big fan I was. She is a super nice young woman, great to her fans.

Dec 26, 2010
Jeffery Kite

Hey, Mark, I sent out 99 requests this year. I got back 61, had 5 complete failures, and am still waiting on 33. 61% success rate (66/99). Not too shabby in my opinion.

Oh, and I for got to tell everyone.......on December 21st, I got back my project of 300 game winners in baseball, signed by Nolan Ryan. Nolan was probably the greatest pitcher of the last half of the 20th century: 324 wins, 5,714 strikeouts, and 7 no-hitters. I got it through his his foundation. you can send them anything and he'll sign it, and the prices are not bad in my opinion. All the money goes to his foundation that helps children and many different community activites in Alvin, TX. Great cause and a great autograph from a super classy guy.

No ttms today, but I do have some nice things to report!

Finally, I took advantage of the NWA Legends offer. They had signed 8x10s for $5 a piece and dual signed pics or $7.50- $10.

Here's who I got:

Nikita Koloff
Rockin' Robin

Well I thought I was going to get left out of all the fun this week, but I got 2 back today...sort of. The first one was of Sidney Crosby, the star centre for the Pittsburgh Penguins. It turned out to be a pre-print post card, and a facsimile signed letter. The was a beautifully signed 1989 University of Georgia Collegiate Collections card of former All-SEC defensive back,Claude Hipps. Claude played for UGA in 1944, and then again from 1949-1951 (he served time in the military in between,) and also for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1952-1953. He was so happy and honored I wrote to him and researched him, that he also sent along a very nice, heart-felt thank you card. What a classy guy.

@ Lee. If I were you, I would just do a search for addresses. There are plenty of free lists online as well as free sites such as this one where you can get addresses from the stars that you want. I wouldn't waste my money buying lists.
