What did he sign for you? I knew him from when I worked for the Tucson Toros a few years ago and he was our DH. Cool guy.

Wow. It's amazing that he still had it and mailed it back to you. Gives me hope (just a little) for a few that I sent off last year that haven't come home yet.

Former Reds catcher Alan Knicely, 3/3, home address. After one failure to an old PO Box (RTS), I sent it off again to another address I found and got it back in just ten days.

I think both of us are working on a very similar project. I had really given up on Rowdon because of the length of time. I received a card back on Knicely after a very long period of time as well. I am getting ready to work on a project on the 1985 team which is going to be very difficult but hey that's what makes it fun!!!

Johnny Edwards on an 8 X 11 Upper Deck numbered card Cincinnati Reds Heroes vs. World Series Heroes in blue Sharpie in 8 days at his residence. Chuck Kress on an 8 X 11 photograph in 8 days at his residence. Sammy Ellis on a 1966 Topps baseball card in blue Sharpie in 8 days at his residence. Marty Keough on a 1964 Topps baseball card in 8 days at his residence.

Cool. Last I heard, he was driving a truck in a copper mine.

1984 Topps Reds and 1985 Donruss Reds are my focuses right now, but I know there will be a few near-impossible gets there. Bench, Concepcion, Cedeno. Those will probably be the toughest, at least at the right price.
