Aubrey Waggoner

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

Sam August

On September 17, 2020, I wanted to do something different with my TTM requests. I thought it would be fun to mail cards to players with the same last name and see which one comes back first. The players were Don August and Sam August. No relation between the two, as far as I could tell. I called it "An August Race in September."

Don August's address is well known, as he is very fan-friendly. Sam August only played in the minors, so his address isn't listed on autograph sites, so I had to locate it myself and hope that it was right.

36 days later my card came back signed. It was 24 days after Don August's card arrived.

Sam signed a 1991 Line Drive AA Pre-Rookie card #552.
