It seems to be time to give up hope on some cards that have been in the mail for over two years. However, I have been surprised and some cards have arrived after over a 1,000 days.
My through the mail baseball autograph success. Former and current sports stars will sign autographs through the mail. A great hobby for any sports fan. As time has ticked on, I have added life events, fantasy sports commentary and I'm sharing my sports card hits pulled along with my card grading journey. I'm just a lifelong sports fan who has more time to dedicate to the many hobbies that the love of sports can kick you into.

Another long wait has paid off as another autograph card has arrived that I figured was long gone.

It was a long wait but not the longest one I have endured.
Glenn Allen Hill took 1,285 days to respond.
Ray Fontenot took 918 days and Kevin Appier 826 days
Hatcher’s 542 days edges out former Atlanta Brave Eddie Perez’s 536 days for the fourth longest wait on my list.
