Mason Williams - 0/1 c/o Charleston - included a note thanking me for my support, but returned card unsigned.

That's interesting. No explanation why no sig?

[J.P]

Ted Lepcio-1/1 c/o Home in 7 days, 1991 53 Topps Archives in thin blue sharpie.

[Mike D.]

Franklin Stubbs - 2/2 c/o Chattanooga Lookouts in 25 days. Both cards came back badly smudged. Blah.

[NYYgraphs]

That's interesting. No explanation why no sig?

None. The note literally just said "Thank you for the support. Mason" It was hand written too, and the "M" in "Mason" had the same slant as the one in his signature. I tried him last year too and got both of my cards returned unsigned. I've seen others have success with him, so I'm a bit bummed to be 0 for 2, as he's my favorite prospect.

I sent a Bowman Chrome, and he does have a certified auto in that set, so perhaps he sees this as conflicting? I may try once more either with a regular Bowman, or a Topps Pro Debut.

[SDL]

Jeffrey Marquez 3/3 c/o Tacoma Rainiers; 18 days. All 8 x 10s. Two screenshots from the 2011 IBAF World Cup and one action pic from the 2011 Pan American Games. Insicribed with uniform number; black Sharpie.

(and before you ask this is how one of the screenshots looks)

Juan Samuel-1/1 c/o Phillies in 31 days, 89 Topps in black sharpie.
Johnny Rutherford-1/1 c/o Home in 5 days, 53 Topps Archives signed and personalized in blue sharpie.

[Mike D.]

Had a RTS today from Les Lancaster. Can't seem to track down an address where he's signing from nowadays.

[SDL]

Jay Johnson 1/1 c/o Reading Phillies. Signed 8 x 10 action shot from the 2011 IBAF World Cup. Inscribed #17 (his Reading uni number) with his sig; for Canada he wore #20; part of that number is visible in the pic. Black Sharpie.

[Mike D.]

Billy Gardner - 3/1 via home address in 6 days. Signed my card and both index cards. (SCAN)

Paul Noce - 2/2 via home address in 13 days. (SCAN1) (SCAN2)

Tim Stoddard - 2/2 c/o Northwestern Baseball in 69 days. (SCAN1) (SCAN2)

[hudsonharden]

Reynaldo Rodriguez - 2/4 - 8 days (Portland Sea Dogs)
Edgar Duran - 4/4 - 8 days (Clearwater Threshers)

Is it just me, or do the Duran autographs look different? The E's look different and the number 13 is written differently. It's like he signed 2 with his left hand and two with his right.

Gotta love Mr. Hickman

2 successes:
Vern Benson-1/1 c/o Home in 7 days, 53 Topps Archives in black sharpie.
Bobby Morgan-1/1 c/o Home in 8 days, 53 Topps Archives in thin blue sharpie.

1 failure:
Turk Lown-Sent back a very nice note requesting a $20 donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, great cause, but $20 is a little steep, at least for me.

[Mike D.]

Billy Sample - 4/4 via home address in 33 days. Signed my cards, included a handwritten note, and a business card. (SCAN1) (SCAN2) (SCAN3) (SCAN4) (NOTE)

[Zito75]

Not really a success...

Alex Avila, 0/2 in about 2 months, cards came back unsigned. Rec'd a form letter asking $20 per signature which goes to Tigers charities. Good cause, but I'll have to pass for now.

Muno just earned himself a 50 game suspension for substance abuse violations.

Seth Maness - 1/1 - 10 days (Palm Beach Cardinals)
Danny Muno - 1/1 - 10 days (St. Lucie Mets)
Manny Acta - 2/2 - 22 days (Cleveland Indians)
