Mike White


On October 26, 2020, I came up with another TTM challenge for myself. This one I called "The Color Wheel Challenge." I sent cards to five random baseball players with colorful last names.


I found Mike White's address on my own and sent him my card and a letter.


Nine days later my card came back signed.

Mike signed a 1991 Line Drive AA Pre-Rookie card #546.

Lance Rice


In October of 2020, I was browsing on Instagram when I saw someone post their return from Lance Rice. I had noticed that Lance had used his own return address sticker on the envelope and it was fully exposed (I have covered it on my site).

I checked to see if I had a card of him and sure enough I did, so I wrote him a letter and sent my card.


Eleven days later my card came back signed.

Lance signed a 1991 Line Drive AA Pre-Rookie card #539.
