Eck First

Here's one back from Dennis Eckersley for $10 that I'm planning to also send to Jim Palmer.  I love dual autographs of Hall of Famers, and this also happens to be a card from Eck's Rookie Year.  Catfish Hunter is a Hall of Famer as well, but he unfortunately passed away in 1999.  Thanks, Dennis!

Wade Boggs with Bat

I sent Wade Boggs $10 and this card, and he signed it.  Now it has his signature alongside a piece of a bat that he used in a game.  Thanks, Wade!

Elroy Leon Face

Here's a great return from a guy who was an All-Star out of the bullpen three years in a row, Roy Face.  He also won a World Series with the Pirates in 1960, the middle of this three All-Star campaigns.  Thanks, Roy!

The Great One

As the greatest hockey player of all-time, Wayne Gretzky doesn't sign through the mail very often, but I did get a return from him once nearly five years ago.  I tried again, and I'm glad I did.  He signed two great cards from the 90s beautifully.  Thanks so much, Wayne!

Andre Nolan Dawson

I picked up an Andre Dawson rookie card in off condition at a card show for $5 because I knew what I planned to do with it next.  I sent it to Andre with $10, and it came back signed.  Not bad for $15 all-in.  Thanks, Andre!
