Through the Mail-Roger Staubach

 2021 is off to a blazing start from a TTM autograph point of view.  I wasn't sure if my Roger Staubach request would actually work, so I relied on a true story written to him and a donation of $20 to his charity to see if I could add this great QB.  The story centered around my family meeting him at the Hotel Del Coronado when I was just a teenager and how my brother asked him to sign a napkin because we had nothing else on us at the time.  I told him truthfully that it would be cool to come full circle and politely asked him to sign the card I sent in the envelope.  Luckily, he obliged, though I am sure the bigger than asked for donation amount did not hurt.  Today, I pulled this great signature out of the mail.

Again, the best tip I can give people is to pick a card that will lend itself to allowing the autograph to be as visible as possible.  If I had picked a card with him wearing the Cowboy's navy blue jersey, it would have been tougher to see the black sharpie.  I know it's always cool to get a rookie card signed when possible, but I'm not willing to spend the extra money on a card I may never see again, and the rookie cards don't always have the right color background for a good signature.

Thank you Mr. Staubach.  This one is going in my display.  Over the last few months, I have hit on some huge HOF fame QBs.  This success joins the Peyton Manning and Dan Fouts hits from 2020.
