NOTES:
Well I sent Ian two cards for him to sign. Unfortunately he only sent back the Gameday 1992 card, and kept the Score Supplemental. No big deal really- but the long tom format is not something that I’ve never supported on my website yearly updates.
Ah well- minor complaint, but I am sure glad to add him. He’s got a great autograph and a very nice card.
