RE: Zeprock Collection
Today I am going to share nine cards that I sent away to have autographed. These were all obtained by me.

1988 Pacific Legends I #15 Robin Roberts Autographed (I sent two cards to Robin Roberts and he sent both of them back signed along with a request for a donation to a charity he supported.)
1988 Score #583 Jeff DeWillis Autographed (Jeff was a rare case where a ballplayer actually contacted me. He came across my website and emailed me wanting to buy any cards I had of him. I had a couple and went on a hunt to trade for more and ended up finding a couple dozen that I sent to him for free in exchange for one signed by him. Jeff only had two MLB cards and they were this 1988 Score and the Glossy version of the same card. He was working as a baseball coach in Texas and we shared several pleasant emails.)
1989 Pacific Legends II #172 Ernie Harwell ANN Autographed (This is one of two cards the legendary Ernie Harwell was kind enough to sign and return to me.)

1999 Paramount #48 Mark Grace Autographed (Mark Grace was my first successful "through the mail" autograph. I sent him two cards and he promptly returned them both to me signed.)
2003 Topps Gallery HOF #40B Lee MacPhail Red Tie Autographed (Hall of Fame executive Lee MacPhail signed this card of his on the back instead of the front. It does show up better on the white but I wish he's signed the front just the same. I had included one of my Zeprock business cards which he also signed on the back and returned to me.)
2005 Topps All-Time Fan Favorites #97 Johnny Pesky Autographed (Red Sox legend Johnny Pesky signed this card that I mailed to him just a year or two before he passed.)

2005 Upper Deck Classics #86 Sparky Anderson Autographed (I showed the Tigers card of Sparky that I'd sent in to be autographed earlier in this thread. This Reds card is the other card I sent him at the same time.)
2007 George Kell Pocket Calendar Autographed (HOFer George Kell signed both of the cards I'd sent him and included two of his own personal pocket calendars along with my cards which he had also signed. I showed one of the calendars earlier in this thread. Here is the other one.)
2007 Topps #29 Pat Neshek Autographed (Pat advertised on his website that he would sign any cards mailed to him. I sent in the two cards I had of him at the time and gave one to my son. Pat sent them back along with a minor league card of himself which he had also signed.)
