Several years ago I started working on a project to collect as many autographed Mets cards as I could without paying for any of them. Doing it mostly through the mail, I have sent out 369 cards to 237 players. To date, 89 players have sent 134 cards backed signed (38%). In addition I’ve acquired a few dozen more both in person and through friends.
Some of the responses have been very interesting, from the expected requests for money to personal notes.
We’ll start with Don Aase. He signed these 2 cards and sent them back in 29 days.
