Bobby Reed

In February of 2021, I decided to seek out an address for Bobby Reed. I discovered that he owned a home building company in Tennessee, so I sent him my card and the following letter.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at things, Mr. Reed was no longer at that address. 68 days later I received my card back with a note explaining that my letter could not be forwarded to his new address. Also included with that letter were two Yogi Berra baseball cards, one of which was signed and had a certificate of authenticity.

I found another address to try for Mr. Reed, so I wrote him a new letter and mailed it off the very next day.

Eighteen days later my card came back signed.

Bobby signed a 1992 Upper Deck Minor League card #232.
