Dan, Peter, et al., I received the card yesterday and meant to send it today however things came up. It's signed and will be on its way to Australia tomorrow afternoon. Sorry about the delay.

That's his pre-pitch stance; my take is he's checking catcher's signs... Hard to pick on the Red Sox this season; they're playing the best in both leagues with an 80 - 34 record (70.2% wins, 46 games over .500).

I’m down on the Cape and would have met up to sign it as well.

Wish I'd known. The card went out this afternoon as promised. On its way to down under.

Did it have to swim there? That really took much longer than I expected. Glad you got it.

Swatty sent the card to LOL-X and he sent the card to me. I just returned home and see that the card was delivered to my mailbox yesterday.

I sent a message to Marc and will send it out in the mail as soon as I get his address.

Yes, I sent it USPS two days after you responded with your address (Wednesday, September 26). You should have received it within a week of me sending it.

Unfortunately, I can't track it. I sent it USPS, first class. Should have been delivered in 2-3 days. I have never had a problem before. Hopefully it will show up soon.

If you’re in the Boston area, I’d like to sign the card and wish Peter well! I’m on the Cape but go to Brighton or Cambridge once in a while.

This doesn't sound good. If it's been out of sight for more than 3 weeks I'd guess it's gone. Would be a shame.

Abdullah, the original OP and I have messaged each other about this.

I scanned the card when it arrived at my house. If the original card does not show up by Halloween, I will print the scanned copy of the original card and send it out with a new card to wantonebad (Marc).

The original card is still MIA.

I sent the old card (scanned, looks like the original) and the new card out to Marc about an hour ago via FedEx; it should arrive by Thursday.

I got Peter's letter on Friday and sent it out to DJ TT 2002 (Terry) today by FedEx.

It is supposed to arrive on Thursday, 11/15/2018.

Signature is required.
