Dedications Page
On
this page I will list the four people who have helped me out the most with this
website, baseball card collecting and autograph collecting. The four people are
listed below.
1. Chapman Thompson, Chap has helped me out so
much with this website. He is the one that I send all the files to for him to
put up. He is the one who emails me advice whenever anything bad happens.
Despite living all the way across the continent from here, Chappie deserves the
#1 dedication.
2. Carl Erskine deserves the #2 dedication for being my
first through-the-mail autograph success ever, when I was just a novice. Carl
could have just refused and thrown the letter and SASE in the trash and never
hear from it again like what so many modern baseball players do (Barry Bonds,
etc.), but instead he answered my questions very kindly and sent me an
autographed card back in my SASE in a timely fashion which motivated me to keep
writing and trying to get autographs.
And
last, but definitely not least 3. My mom and dad, for motivating me when
I hit an obstacle and providing stamps and ever-lasting encouragement that were
always useful. Thanks so much.
Thank
you to all of you listed on this list for helping me out. I really appreciate
it. Also, listed below are eleven other people who helped me out in autograph
collecting and baseball card collecting.
