I was 12 when I mailed Monte Irvin a baseball. He signed it, sent it back, and enclosed a note saying he had a signing fee. It was like $10. He asked me politely to send a check back to him. I thought that was really classy.
I also sent Aaron Boone, while he was playing, multiple cards. I was 13ish. I saw him play in Billings MT at short-season A ball, and I had his minor league cards. Every card I sent him was eventually signed and returned.
