This week former California Angels’ pitcher Jack Lazorko responded to my though the mail autograph request in a short five days.
Lazorko has a near perfect response rate listed on http://www.sportscardforum.com/forum.php?referrerid=72224
With the good comes the bad, as my request sent to former Los Angeles Dodger Mike Marshall was returned marked unable to forward.
On another note, I took a chance with an ad from Baseball Collector’s Daily which turns out to be Sports Collectors Daily based out of St. Louis, Mo.
The deal was send $100 and receive an autographed baseball from a Hall of Fame member including a chance for a Babe Ruth.
I received a Gaylord Perry autographed ball, which makes me happy since Perry pitched for my Atlanta Braves. However, I’am a little disappointed with the certificate of authenticity.
The other COAs I have received usually has the company’s name, the date and the players name.
This one only lists Sports Collector’s Daily.
There is a number listed on the box the ball came in but no hologram on the ball.
While I’m thrilled to have a Gaylord Perry autograph, it is disappointing to pay $100 bucks and not have a better COA. Just my opinion.
