Welcome to my blog!!!
I have collected baseball cards and autographs over the years. I still have boxes full of cards (as well as newer cards) that are just sitting there. So, I have decided to see how many of them I can get autographed. I use through the mail as my preferred route for this adventure. I also have an account on Zistle and The Trading Card Database for trading purposes (stevienicks77).

Shut out!!!
I think I've been shut out this week! :( Its hard to get shut out when you're used to getting a letter or two a day. I had been really sucessful with my minor league and home mailings, but now, I'm at a stand still. Hopefully today mail will turn it around!!
