I have actually been thinking of contacting you lately. When I started the project I kept a log of dates that I mailed the cards and when or if they were returned to me. Nothing fancy, just handwritten notes. The varied return times are interesting, but probably more importation to the collection, it would document the time frame in which the cards were signed. I'm not exactly sure where they are, but if you are interested, I'm sure I could find them for you.
Jerry,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for your original notes! I received them today and I am so happy to have them to put with my detailed notes on the provenance of many of the cards in my signed set.

I love your last paragraph from the note you sent me that references how you appreciate sharing these stories with me because your wife and friends could not give a "XXXXXXXXX" well......you know what you wrote! lol

Thanks Jerry once again for all your help. What a journey! You are a big part of it!

Take care my friend!

Peace, Mike

Got my copy last week and read this article in its entirety. It was awesome (and I’m not even a basketball collector!). Congrats. These type of collecting adventures and articles are what makes the hobby great!!!

Default Cool!

Thanks to all the kudos, it is appreciated! I just got in the mail today a nice unexpected "gift". A signed copy of the magazine article by the author Todd Tobias! It will make for a nice quirky bookend for my signed complete 1961 set!

Almost complete I must say....still looking for a signed 1961 Fleer #7 Carl Braun with solid provenance or already slabbed by PSA/DNA, SGC, or Beckett. GENEROUS finders fee!

Peace, "Pap"
