Mike Bibby

Mike Bibby averaged 14.7 points per game and 5.5 assists per game over 14 years in the NBA.  He was always a threat from behind the arc.  Surprisingly, he never made an all-star team.  He was nice enough to sign both cards I sent to him.  Thanks, Mike!

Ryno Rookie

I had to send one more to Ryno, and it was well worth the $5.  He signed his 1983 Topps Rookie Card!  This was an awesome return.  Some of you may have noticed I've been getting a lot more returns lately, and a much higher success rate.  Plus I know which players charge a small fee.  The only secret is that I've joined SCF (sportscardforum.com), which is free and gives you access to a huge database of addresses and success rates of players from all sports.  Thanks, Ryne!

Al Downing

Al Downing won 123 games over his 17-year career, including 72 in his nine years with the Yankees.  He made the all-star team once.  I told him about the time I met Clete Boyer in Cooperstown and he wrote me back a nice note about Clete and signed the card I sent him as well (I didn't have one of him on the Yankees, or even one without a crease, unfortunately).  Thanks, Al!

Drew Brees

I think this one is my favorite return of the year so far!  Drew Brees is one of the top few QBs in NFL history.  He's won a Super Bowl and passed for over 70,000 yards, which is third most all-time.  He'll eclipse Peyton Manning's record for passing yards this year if he remains healthy.  He's also tied with Tom Brady for the third most TD passes of all-time, and could make a run at that Manning record before he retires as well.  This is awesome!  Thank, you so much, Drew!!!
