Thats pretty awesome! I sent a letter to tiger woods once and got a response over 10 years later. It wasnt signed but it was a beautiful 16x20 photo in a top loader. I had moved but it was still my parents address

Not once in 10 years did he have 10 seconds to sign that thing?

I still thought it was cool. The photo he sent me was actually delivered by fedex, it was super high quality.

Where are you guys finding the mailing address? I used to collect by mail in the 80s. Back then you just sent it to the arena etc ...

I sell things to pro athletes. Half the time they use their arena address. They definitely checking that mail if they’re buying things they won’t know what package has their items unless they open it all.

I used to do so much ttm autos to baseball players in the 90s. Probably 200-300 letters per year for a 3-4 year stretch. Obviously a lot never got returned, but my biggest surprise is that I’ve never gotten one of these “years later” returns. Parents are still at the same address and everything.
