Nice success with Torii he always seemed like a class act and I agree he has a awesome signature.

Nice successes, especially the Hunter and Howard. Just a heads up with photobucket, if you click the IMG link to the right of the photo the pictures will show up instead of the links. Someone on the forums told me this.

Still waiting on a bunch. Would love to see Buxton, Arenado, Wacha and Sonny Gray come back....

Two awesome successes today. First being Carlton Fisk. Im a HUGE Sox fan so this success was big for me. I sent him an 8x10 of one of the most iconic moments in Red Sox and World Series history. I asked that he personalized it to me and to also add his #27. He did just that and it came back looking better than expected. I did send the required donation but it was for a great cause so it didnt bother me much.

Now I have an autographed piece from every Red Sox retired number but Williams and Cronin. Those will be coming.

Also today I received Ben Zobrist. Sent 4/18 rec 5/15. Signed my two cards and added one of his own. Personalized as requested. Great success from a great player!

A shame that they haven't retired Wade Boggs' jersey yet. I met Wade last summer before a Rays/Red Sox game. He was signing for charity at Ted's museum.

I couldn't agree more about Boggs. He meets the requirements the Red Sox have for retiring numbers. He played with them for 10 years from 1982-1992 and is a member of the HofF. Not to sure what the hold up is?!? Are they still pissed he left for the Yankees?

Two pretty great returns today.

Chris Osgood. Sent 2/15 and Rec 5/16. Really nice return from one of my fav Wings of all time!

Been in San Francisco for Vacation this past week. Went to both Giants and As stadiums. However no luck on graphs, although I wasnt trying to hard because I had my wife with me.

Two came while I was gone
1) Will Clark. I sent this one to the Giants and was happy to see it come back. Post marked from Baton Rouge though.

2) Jason Varitek. I am so pumped to get this one back. Being a huge Sox fan, this is a HUGE return for me.
