I got back into it in the 90s sending to football HOFers to get Goal Line art cards signed. Will always be thankful for the kindness so many of these men shared - they could have just as easily tossed stuff in the trash or never responded. Still flip through them from time to time for guaranteed smiles!

Marty, how many of the Goal Line cards do you have signed? That's one project I plan on starting up again in the next couple of years.
