Derek Wachter


On September 10, 2020, I decided to go through these 2 alphabetical boxes of baseball cards and pull random cards out. I would then look to see if I could find a mailing address online to send a card to.

I ended up writing and mailing out 11 letters that day. All addresses that I looked up myself, not listed on an autograph database, as far as I could tell.

I found what looked to be a legitimate address for Mr. Wachter, so I wrote him a letter and included my card.


219 days later my card came back signed.

Derek signed a 1994 Fleer Excel card #89.
