I also had some great luck starting in the middle '60's with autographs through the mail. I sent out dozens of large and small magazine pictures and Jay's 5x7's. they all came back signed except one. I received Greenberg, Grove, Sisler, Joe D., Casey, Koufax, Foxx and Dizzy among others. The only one that didn't respond? Willie Mays. I'll get over it. Maybe.
So, I was long on luck, but short on brains. I did not realize that you could actually go to Woolworths and buy different sized envelopes! I just used whatever Mom and Dad had in the house. Consequently, I have a few folds.
