Notes:
Stay with me here. Do you watch American Pickers on the History Channel? You know how they like to go on "freestyle" picks? This is like my version of a freestyle autograph request. I have two boxes full of cards that I have already picked out, with the intent of sending autograph requests. When I'm writing letters, I usually take from those two boxes. Every once in a while, though, I'll scan recent successful returns on SCN and something will catch my eye -- someone I hadn't considered sending to before, but upon seeing another collector's success I'll instantly search for a couple of cards and whip off a quick letter.
I had not thought of the name Thane Gash in years. But as soon as I saw his name, I had to go for it. He had such a great name. Thane Gash. Perfect name for a hard-hitting safety. He didn't have a long career and was hardly a star. Just a really cool football name, and sometimes something like that is enough to earn its way into my collection. Thanks, Mr. Gash!
