As we neared the end of the 1982 baseball season, I decided to check on the cards I wanted to keep as possible inventory for a future store I was thinking of opening. There were established stars like Brett, Yount and Reggie. There were also “Future Star” cards of unknown rookies like Cal Ripken, Steve Sax, Johnny Ray and Kent Hrbek.
I had many of the “Future Stars” cards, so I decided to try to send cards for autographs. I sent three cards to each player. I asked them to sign two and they could keep one for themselves. Much to my surprise, I received all the cards back, neatly signed. Currently, one of each card, is in my personal autograph collection.
I realized, that if you were polite and did not abuse the players, you would probably get your request granted.
In “This Collector’s Opinion” it was a reminder to treat others, the way you want others to treat you.
