Hugh Walker


In February of 2021, I was looking for cards to mail out and I saw on the back of Hugh Walker's card that his birthday was less than a week away (February 9th), so I decided to look him up and I found his address and sent him my card and the following letter.


46 days later my card came back signed and he included a brief note.


Hugh signed a 1993 Classic Best Gold card #84.
