I just sent them two cards (and a check) on 9/3 and got them back on 11/14. Nice signatures and they put small holograms on the back of the cards. Very pleased with the service.

Wow, that's a heck of a turnaround! Just curious, when did they cash your check?

Sorry, but I used an account that i don't have electronic access to and I don't have the paper statement. Can't give you a date. I'll check the next monthly statement and see if it is on there.

No worries, I was just wondering to get a time frame of when I might get my card back but it ended up coming a few days later so all is good! 👍🏼

I sent in these two items for Nolan's signature and one with inscription in September and just received them back yesterday:

- Game used dugout lineup card to Nolan's 324th and final career win
- City of Alvin, TX (hometown of Alvin's favorite son Nolan Ryan) Mayoral Proclamation celebrating Nolan Ryan Hall of Fame Day in Alvin on July, 25th, 1999. This coincided with Nolan's actual HOF induction into Cooperstown.

I think they turned out great!

Just to give everybody an update regarding the Nolan Ryan foundation. I have a few collector friends on another board that recently received damaged items back from the foundation. These items were high dollar items. In the past, the ladies at the foundation office in Alvin were accommodating when mistakes were made or items damaged. Unfortunately, the foundation has officially moved to Round Rock and the person in charge has changed. From what I have been told, they are now unresponsive to emails or phone calls and do not take responsibility for sending back damaged items. When I mean damaged items, it was not damaged by the post office, but was clearly damaged by somebody in their office. Please keep this in mind before you send anything of high dollar value to the foundation. Just FYI.

Now this is depressing to hear. Judy always did a great job, I never received anything back damaged.
