I've received two cards back with letters saying they charge $5 and $10 each for signing cards like the one I sent. No offense but their auto's aren't even worth the two stamps I originally set haha... I mean I guess if I'm collecting the set signed or need an auto from every Indians player who ever lived but damn... I guess if I'm a few points behind I'll send away and make them promise to inscribe it for more points!

Hey guys. I'll try to post my most recent successes when I can.

We had our first baby! She was real early, so she's in NICU for now. Hopefully she'll come home in a few weeks. Daughter and mother are both doing well. Just wanted to stop in and let everyone know I haven't abandoned or forgotten, just been busy.

[MENTION=3275]Lancemountain[/MENTION] You have me at 15.5 points, but I have me at 19.5 points. I only counted the cards I have scanned and posted in the thread in that total. Here's my breakdown:

Doug Flynn; first return + inscription + signed card = 9 points
Merv Rettenmund; signed card = 1 point
Bill Campbell; signed card + mustache = 1.5 points
Jack Billingham; signed card = 1 point
Jim Lyttle; signed card = 1 point
Fred Scherman; signed card + inscription = 3 points
Steve Busby; signed card + inscription = 3 points

Total = 19.5 points

Take care of mom & the baby. I know two NICU nurses, so I know your daughter will get terrific care. The cardboard will still be inert when you return.

Be careful with Branca, I sent a photo of him and I to him a long time ago, and still haven't gotten it back
