If you are doing index cards, mark you return envelops with some sort of code. Sometimes you have no clue who you got back because of how bad the writing is. Other then that, have fun. It's a great hobby.

 

[ballsandstrikes]

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking about putting the players initials in pencil on the back of the index card but I like your idea better

I would mark the inside of the envelope and try to find blank both side index cards.

 

[ballsandstrikes]

I am using blanks. I figured that most atheletes would not take the time to realize to sign the blank side.
Now there are two players addys I want to track down
Dave Stieb and Mike Morgan.

 

[pandaboy911]

on the return name put there name on that envelope

Dave Stieb and Mike Morgan.

You should get success from both. Good luck!

 

[ballsandstrikes]

First success! Ernie Harwell signed 2 index cards.

 

[Phish]

I sent to Bonilla a day before you, so we could be getting his back at similar times. I just sent to Hudler yesterday also.

 

[ballsandstrikes]

Cool! Once I get a working scanner I will start a photobucket with the stuff I get back

 

[ballsandstrikes]

Today's mail brought
Dan Issel
John Wooden inscribed UCLA
and John "Mule" Miles who wrote
Tony:
"Remember winning ball games is not by luck. It is how you play the game. Keep your eye on the ball. You will never hit it if you don't see it
John "mule" Miles

 

[stlcardtrader]

good luck

 

[ballsandstrikes]

Todays mail brought Joe Sambito signed 1980 Topps card. Mr. Sambito did not sign or return the blank index card.
Still if he was only going to sign one I am glad he chose the card.

 

[ballsandstrikes]

Todays mail brought Jim Morrison and Don Sutton

 

[rangersfan1982]

Congrats!

 

[ballsandstrikes]

SOOOO
Todays mail....
Mike Torrez charges $5 per auto so FAIL
Lenny Wilkins, signed both index cards AND included a signed Hoops card AND a signed 1971-72 Topps card. The hoops signature is on a darker card so it doesn't show very well
Lee Macphail signed both index cards AND included a signed hall of fame postcard.

 

[Phish]

Just letting you know, I got Bonilla and Mussina on Saturday, so they should be coming in soon for you

 

[ballsandstrikes]

Cool.
That will give me something to look forward to.
