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.

Kevin Rawitzer


In February of 2021, I was looking for cards to mail out and I saw on the back of Kevin Rawitzer's card that his birthday was less than a week away (February 28th), so I decided to look him up and I found his address and sent him my card and the following letter.


Ten days later my card came back signed and he included a note informing me that he is not pictured on that card.


Kevin signed a 1994 Fleer Excel card #73.
