I am so close to my 20th success!!!!! I got Joe Schmidt back today! I sent him a index card exactly 10 days ago, and it just came back signed! Thank you Mr. Schmidt!!

This has been the most eventful week in my life!!! I got Bob Lilly, Don Maynard, AND Ted Hendricks. I asked Lilly to put “Mr. Cowboy” (his nickname), but instead, he put “HOF ‘80”, I paid Maynard $5 to sign the card I sent, and Hendricks personalized it. I got the only card of Hendricks on my beloved Packers, so it was awesome!!!

This has been a eventful week! 4 successes in 4 days! Today I got Al Carmichael and Dan Fouts.

I’m also very glad that Leroy Kelly sent back, because he’s the 3rd player I’ve sent a vintage card to. It’s cool how he put the full 1994 instead of just putting ‘94.

I got 2 successes in the mail today. The first one was Roger Staubach. Not only did he sign the card I sent him, but he personalized it too!! I had a feeling he would sign it, because the first sentence of the letter I wrote to him was thanking him for his service in Vietnam. The other success I got was Boyd Dowler. I asked him 2 questions in the letter and he answered both of them!! The questions were;
1. What was it like to play under Vince Lombardi?
and
2. Do you think ...
