I did a little more research Mr. Admin. The address I used is good, and has been good since 2009. Lo and behold, I found out he does NOT sign anything that isn't "official". And it sounds like he's usually kind-of nasty about it when he doesn't sign something because it isn't "official". Usually includes a terse, ugly note when he returns your item unsigned. Didn't write a note for me, so I guess I got spared from that. I don't know, maybe he has a good reason for only signing stuff he considers "official". I don't know what that reason is, but...to each his own.

Sent LOR, SASE, and personalized index card on 5/20/19 to:

Valencia, CA 91381

Got response 5/31/19 (11 days). Index card was returned, unsigned, in my SASE, and wrapped in my LOR. And I'm pretty sure he read my LOR, because he had to fold it differently to get it back into my SASE. It appears everyone else has great success with him. I don't get it. And I've had crazy-good success with these personalized index cards. Maybe he only signs baseball cards or pictures. I can't find anything that says he charges for autographs, so...I don't know.
