Nine from Ryne

This copy of Ryne Sandberg's 1983 Topps Rookie Card was faded, so it only cost $1, and $10 and two stamps later, I have it back signed.  Thanks again, Ryne!

Ronald Kittle

I don't often send out four cards at once, but it's pretty cool to get two different Rookie Cards, a card from one of my favorite sets of the 80s (84 Donruss), and a Yankees Card signed by one-time All-Star and 1983 AL Rookie of the Year Ron Kittle.  Thanks, Ron!
