I'm still unearthing my card collection. And it's great to have everything in the same place, but that also means...there are a lot of cards.I recently dug into the stack of TTM returns that date back to late October of last year. While I haven't sent out that many requests, the ones that did come back got quickly opened and piled up until I had the time to go through everything.
While there are some great returns that I'm excited to show off, nothing can top this bad boy.
I sent the request during Spring Training 2015, and it popped up in my parents' mailbox this spring. Tack on another 5 months until I really took the time to appreciate the return, and it was still well worth the wait.
The consensus seems to be the returns are legit, and the signature certainly matches up well with certified issues, without any signs of being an autopen or stamp.
It's amazing that a star of Kershaw's magnitude takes the time to sign fan mail, in an era where there are A ball players who don't have time for the fans. And it's an autograph I'm thrilled to add to my collection.
Kershaw and Adrian Beltre are the two biggest names I see that regularly sign. That is so cool! Congrats on a great return.
ReplyDeleteI remember sending a couple custom index cards to Kershaw when he was in class A Great Lakes. Maybe it's time to try him again!
