Hector Maestri was a Cuban pitcher who pitched in one game for the 1960 Washington Senators and then pitched in one game for the new 1961 Washington Senators expansion team. He wrote me a nice note asking for copies of the cards.

Jake Striker Custom Cards

A few months ago I made a custom 1959 Topps card of 1950s and 60s Indians and White Sox pitcher Jake Striker for SCN member gmrose91. He had them printed up and sent them to Mr Striker. I got a package in the mail today from gmrose91 and in it were some of the custom cards signed and a nice 8x10 photo personalized to me. Thanks George for the nice surprises.

Lou Brissie

Got back former Philadelphia Athletics pitcher Lou Brissie today. I mailed out 2 custom 1952 Topps cards and Mr Brissie signed them both and included a signedPhiladelphia A's Historical Society Card.

John Papa

I'm still getting occasional returns from letters I sent out last month. I got back John Papa back today. He pitched for the Orioles in 2 games in 1961 and 1 game in 1962. All the photos I used were originally black and white but I colorized them using Photoshop.

Gary Kolb

I haven't been sending out TTM requests for the last month but I got back Gary Kolb today. I mailed it out at the end of January and it came back today. He was a back up catcher in the 1960s for the Cardinals, Mets, Braves and Pirates. He signed my 3 customs in thin black marker.

Dwight Siebler

Dwight Siebler was a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins in the early 1960s. He was originally signed by the Phillies but never pitched for them. Dwight signed these cards in blue ballpoint pen and added Bible verses to several. The Denver Bears card was originally
B&W but was colorized using Photoshop.
