In the mid-sixties, when I was young and naive, I sent a letter to Mickey Mantle (my hero) asking him to autograph a few cards. I can't remember which cards I sent, but I do know they included some Bowman as well as Topps.
Needless to say, I never received a reply. Foolishly, I sent a second letter and requested that he at least return the cards I sent. hahaha
I read subsequent articles that said he would throw out the envelopes after giving any cards to his kids.
Maybe I should send his kids a letter?
