It has been slow going since my return to the hobby.
I have been slow mailing requests and many seem to be slow returning.
A couple exceptions are former Pittsburgh Pirate and New York Yankee Dale Berra and from the football world former Dallas Cowboy Eric Bjornson.
I sent a Yankees card to Berra with a $5 check.
In 19 days the card came back signed with my check.
Also returned was the note I sent him. On the back of the note was a note asking for cash instead of check.
So from one perspective I got two autographs for free. The entire contents of the envelope are keepers.
Former Dallas Cowboy Eric Bjornson took 12 days to return my TTM request signed in blue Sharpie.
I placed two cards in the mail, Craig Counsell and Will Clark.
A $20 autism donation is included with the Clark request.

Looking for a charity, consider The LAM Foundation and become aware of a deadly lung disease striking out women called Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)
