COCKEYSVILLE, MD. — Former Milwaukee Brewer and Atlanta Brave B.J. Surhoff got around to responding to his mail last November.
Many through the mail autograph collectors were rewarded with his autograph after many years, in my case a 2,013 day or five year plus wait.
For me, 2018 brought in many cards after long waits.
Keith Lockhart kicked off the trend when his card arrived on Jan. 16 after a 1,436 day wait.
April brought an end to many of the long waits as Rick Wrona’s autograph arrived after 681 days.
That was followed by Don Robinson’s autograph arriving after a 684 day wait.
A Dwayne Henry autograph followed after a 689 day wait.
A few days later a Juan Samuel autograph arrived after a 703 day wait.
The wait of all waits ended on April 30, 2018 when an autograph from former Dodger pitcher Ken Howell arrived after 2,755 days.
The Howell success is the longest successful wait I have recorded edging out Bob Tewksbury, whose card took 2,104 days to return home.

MIAMI, FL. — The Miami Marlins and The Arizona Diamondbacks responded to my fan pack requests recently.
One is not like the other. The Marlins’ fan pack is awesome. It consists of a letter, magnetic schedule, three large photos of Justin Bour, Kyle Barraclough and J.T. Realmuto.
Also a 2018 program and the best surprise an unopened pack of baseball cards from National Baseball Card Day 2017. The card on top is Giancarlo Stanton. To open or not to open? That is the question. It took 41 days to receive this fan pack from the Marlins and it was worth the wait. Every fan should reach out to the Marlins.
The Diamondbacks responded in about 10 days and sent a booklet with a schedule and kids games. Not really anything collectible but kudos to them for responding as some teams do not.
