Happy Black Friday. Hope everyone work up at 3am to go wait in line for a $100 32-inch flatscreen.
A few weeks back, Julie from Things Are Funner Here sent me this card in a trade. I was thrilled to learn that Walt "No Neck Williams" was a pretty reliable TTM signer, so I sent the card off to him. In 17 days, this came back signed:
Pretty neat signature, as he uses one W for both "Walt" and "Williams." Walt was also nice enough to answer my letter, although my questions didn't invoke many interesting answers. Still, it sort of feels like I was interviewing Bill Bellicheck.
1. What is your best baseball memory? Just being in the big leagues.
2. What pitcher did you love to face? None. (really? no favorites that he had success off of?)
3. What pitcher was the toughest to face? Dean Chance (I can't make out the words after Dean Chance)
4. What current player reminds you of yourself? Don't really watch baseball. Well ok, then.
I'm happy to add this signed card to my collection. Thanks, No Neck!
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.
