Admittedly, I don't follow very closely in 2017. I know general storylines, but not much else. However, growing up, I was a big fan, especially of Dale Earnhardt Sr. In the mid-90s, I sent a bunch of TTM requests to NASCAR drivers, and the success rates were always very high. I don't believe I ever sent a SASE either. The teams were kind enough to handle the postage.
A few months ago, I rescued some old bins of mine from my parents attic, and basically transferred them directly to my attic. In one of the bins, I found a few old envelopes of signed photos, and was happy to find all of my NASCAR autographs preserved and in great shape.
I definitely received some of the sport's biggest stars at the time, and the Earnhardt is certainly one that I treasure.

I have a bunch of these from races that I attended in the early aughts - I really oughta take a flip through those. Although, I doubt I have nearly as great of a selection as you do. Gordon, Earnhardt, Petty, Allison... holy racing royalty, Batman!
ReplyDeleteSweet signatures. I don't really keep up with NASCAR, but I did follow it for a year or two in the 90's. I was a Rusty Wallace fan. Even tried to get myself to like Genuine Draft.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. You got some of the best ever. 1994 and 95 were such a great time in the sport.
ReplyDeleteYour son is going to inherit one of the greatest TTM collections ever isn't he?
