Recent Success: Stan Musial (4)

Hey everyone. This is an update on a previous post on Stan Musial. It's the summer and i am home, so that means that i will be going into full autograph mode. There is just something about the summer that get's me going with autographs, must be baseball season!

So last semester, i went to a card show and met Carl Yastrezemski. I got him to sign a Donruss puzzle piece, and it was a great piece of memorabilia to get autographed. So this has inspired me to send a puzzle piece to Hall of Famer Stan Musial. Now for those loyal readers, you will remember that i bought Stan Musial's autograph over the summer, so i got the idea in my head that if i send him a letter tell him that i have already bought an autograph from him, he might say..."meh, sure I'll sign this for him."

So i sent him a letter and the puzzle piece, and i was amazed to have a response from him in under 2 weeks. But for the first time in my life, i was so disappointed to get a free autograph of a Hall of Famer. Musial sent me a signed Stat Card compliments of Stan the Man Inc.

So it was an amazing success, but i wanted the puzzle signed. So i sent it right back to him. I figured, worst comes to worst, i get the puzzle back not signed. Right? Well i got another response from him in under 2 weeks again! This time...was it different??

Nope....

So i got another Stat Card...signed....ho hum. hehe. So i tried him a third time. What was the result you ask?

You guessed it, another signed stat card. So i am getting annoyed (only because i really want this puzzle signed, believe me, i am wicked stoked aobut these .82 cent stat cards i am buying that will be worth $100.00 easily someday.) So i figured i would try him one last time.

Whoa look at that!! Another stat card! So i am excited again, because it is a signed stat card, but i'm also not excited cuz i really want this puzzle signed. So here is my plan. I am going to send this puzzle piece to him until i get his autograph on it, or i get enough money to send it in and just pay for it. So that is my plan, i and i will certainly keep you posted on how many of these cards i get.

My next post will be on my Top Ten Game Used Memorabilia Cards i have.

Keep on collecting!!
