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.

Yes!

Thanks Jerry once again and to all who have sent me kudos!

Peace, Mike

Hey, Mike. Todd Tobias did a wonderful job on the SMR article! When I saw the cards I felt like I was visiting with some old friends. One that I thought I would never see was the Walter Dukes. When I saw that I was totally mesmerized! Way to go, Mike.

I found your phone calls with Mr. and Mrs. John McCarthy entertaining. Mainly, because of being an old St. Louis Hawks fan and the address that I had for him was only about 20 minutes from my house. I mailed cards to him twice with no response. I debated knocking on his door and asking for a signature, but refrained.

As I mentioned before, the only thing keeping me from feeling the monster of seller's remorse is that I was able to upgrade my all time favorite set, 1933 Goudey to minimum VG. Real happy with that.

I am truly thrilled for your achievement, Mike. Find that Carl Braun!
