I figured enough time had passed where I wouldn't feel guilty for sending him another request. I had seen that he was signing without a fee, so I gave it a shot, and in just 21 days this returned:
Thanks for the autograph, Mr. Gossage!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

TTM Success: Goose Gossage
I won't lie, I double-dipped on this one. I did receive a Goose Gossage TTM autograph a long time ago. I'm not exactly sure when. I want to say I got it while I was in high school, but can't remember if that's accurate. That card is now a key piece of my Topps Yankees Project.

Goose is definitely a cranky old man, but damn, can he sign a card. His signature is a pure treasure.
Thanks for the autograph, Mr. Gossage!

Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove the card choice!
ReplyDeleteNice return. I got him in person this year and he seemed very pleasant in the minute and a half that I was in his sight.
