Item Sent: Letter, SASE, 2 printed homemade cards with photos

Returned In: 6 days

I originally started out with 2 separate custom made photos that Mr.
Lilly was nice enough to autograph both of and return to me. Unfortunately, it was raining the day that they arrived and my mailman didn’t do a good job of closing my mail box. The manila envelope with the pics in it was wet on the edges causing the paper edges to stain. I tried using a blow dryer and all but it ended up curling and turning yellow. So, I came up with the idea below and I made a scrapbook page highlighting the 2 autographs.


Mr. Lilly fortunately autographed these for free but he sent the following price list for future attempts.


I think I’m going to have to pay the $35 for a football signed by this legendary greatness. Well worth that price.

MR. JOE MONTANA! WE ARE OFF TO A GOOD START FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE!

We are off to a good start!
More Hall of Fame football players! So cool!
Let's hope for a full mailbox everyday this month :)

I immediately turned around and misplaced one of the Dan Fouts autographed cards (1981 Topps Super Action #153) and haven't been able to find it since! Hopefully, it will turn up but I at least was able to scan a picture of this sweet success before losing it!

I already had this card, so I thought I would go ahead and show it here. I bought some baseball cards on eBay and this was included in with the lot and came in a frame.
