Neil Atkinson


In March of 2021, I decided to seek out an address for Neil Atkinson. After receiving a return from Kevin Rawitzer, it was brought to my attention that it wasn't him pictured on the card, it was actually Neil Atkinson. I found a card of Neil and discovered the exact same image, so I found an address and sent him my card and a letter.



55 days later my card came back signed and he included 2 additional signed cards and a letter back.



Neil signed a 1993 Classic Best Eugene Emeralds Team Set card #3.

Don Sheppard


On May 8, 2020, I noticed an account on Instagram that liked 2 of my autographs that had been posted 5 years earlier. I didn't recognize the username but when I clicked on the account I saw the person's real name and immediately recognized it and knew it was someone that I had a card of.
I sent a private message to thank him for liking my posts and mentioned that I had a card of his that I would love to get signed. He said "...it ain't worth squat" but I told him that I just do this for the hobby. He gave me his address and then I wrote him the following letter and immediately sent it off.


Nineteen days later my card came back signed. I would've had it earlier if I had written my correct address on my self-addressed stamped envelope. The envelope had a yellow "return to sender" sticker on it, so thankfully it still found its way to me, albeit delayed by a few extra days.

Don signed a 1993 Classic Best Dunedin Blue Jays Team Set card #19.

Rich Butler


I met him at a Minor League Dunedin Blue Jays game at Dunedin Stadium at Grant Field in Dunedin, Florida in 1993.

I remember trying to be really inspirational when he was signing an autograph for me. The previous year, his brother, Rob led the Florida State League in batting. I said something cheesy to him like, "don't try to live up to your brother; you make a name for yourself."

Rich signed a 1993 Classic Best Dunedin Blue Jays Team Set card #4.
