Thanks! Finally got a little creative spark!

Two more in last night. First Ken Frailing returned 3/4 customs (K1AO) in 8 days via his home, and took a shot and landed Herb Hutson, who returned 1/2 customs (K1AO) in 8 days and wrote a note back on my LOR.

Got the first return from my other new set today. Inspired by the 30 in 30 ESPN documentary, I put a set together on the XFL. This is going to be one of my more ambitious sets as many of the players are not consistent signers, but we'll see what I can put together by the end of the run. I sent out to 16 players to start, and the first one came home today. Keith Elias returned 3/4 customs (K1AO) in 12 days.

Two more returns in today... man my juices are flowing again! First, an Old School Cub that I hadn't had much luck with before, Lee Gregory returned 1/2 customs (K1AO) in 6 days via his home. This gets me down to 14 living alumni from the 1950's I'm still missing, but so glad it's home.

Second, my second XFL return came back today.... Wally Richardson signed 3/4 customs via Penn State (K1AO). Pretty wild to see both of my NY/NJ Hitmen cards I sent out come home!

Landed another XFL return today, Tim Lester, QB for the Chicago Hitmen returned 4/4 customs in 18 days.

Two more in today. First, Back in 2014, I had sent a request out to Roe Skidmore, and he graciously signed for me. My card as featured on a blog titled "Baseball By the Letters" in a story about Mr. Skidmore. Mr. Bob Spence played with Roe in the White Sox organization. He posted on the website that he was looking to make contact with Mr. Skidmore. I contacted Roe, he told me to go ahead and send his contact information to Mr. Spence, which I did. Below is the return I received and his thank you for the contact information. The return took 20 days.

I also received the next XFL return... former San Francisco Demons QB Pat Barnes returned 4/4 customs in 20 days.
