Jamie Moyer

This guy was pretty amazing.  He won 269 games and played in the major leagues through the age of 49!  Thanks for signing your rookie card for me, Jamie!  Another plaque for the man cave.

Herschel Walker

A great RB and the trade that began a dynasty...  Thanks for the personalized signature, Herschel!

Troy Aikman

I hope this is real.  It looks like it is.  He sent me this in lieu of signing the card I sent him.  If it's not a facsimile, this is amazing!  Aikman was my favorite QB when I was a kid growing up in the 90s!

And the Failures Just Keep on Coming

Well, this has been an unfortunate losing streak. Hopefully it ends soon.

Fernando Valenzuela - He sent back my card unsigned.

Phil Jackson - So did he, but the Zen Master is probably miserable working for the Knicks.

Robin Yount - He sent back my card unsigned with a note and HOF Postcard, both with facsimile signatures (pictured).

Here's My Third List of Failures

Billy Beane - The "Moneyball" GM is apparently losing his touch, both on putting together a solid Oakland A's ballclub and on signing autographs.  He sent back my card unsigned.

Bert Blyleven - Here's a HOF pitcher with a fairly reasonable request to donate $20 to charity, which certainly makes more sense than the asking price of some of the current Detroit Tigers.

Serena Williams - The delivery of my envelope was rejected, and I imagine she probably grunted loudly while returning it to the sender...

Albert Pujols - Albert gets the award for the best rejection in this batch, as he sent back a card about his foundation and his relationship with Christ, an accompanying letter, and a sticker (pictured).  Understandably, he probably gets an insane number of autograph requests, so he is unable to fulfill all of them.

Wes Welker

A personalized autograph from one of the greatest WRs.  New plaque in the memorabilia room.  Thanks, Wes!
