Joe's Question #1: About how many autograph requests to you get in an average week?

Mr. Burdette's Answer: About 25 or 30.
Mr. Garver's Answer: About 10.
Mr. Pappas's Answer: I'd say probably in the neighborhood of 15 to 20. Some days it's five, one day it's one, next day it's nothing and then six the next day. But I'd say anywhere between 15 and 20.

Joe's Question #2: What kind of items do baseball fans send for you to sign?

Mr. Burdette's Answer: Mostly cards, sometimes someone will send a ball.
Mr. Garver's Answer: That verys a great deal but most people send bubble gum cards.
I guy sent me something not to long ago it was the program from when they closed old Tiger Stadium. There was quite a few, Ernie Harwell, George Kell, Mark Fidrych and Virgil Trucks and a lot of other guys who had signed that thing. So I thought, "Well that guy wants a souvenir" so I signed it.
Then when I got down to Florida, he was advertising that thing for sale on the internet for $400 and had almost $500 bid on it.
That makes it bad for everybody. It leaves a little sour taste in your mouth. But you can't let the few spoil it for everybody.
Mr. Pappas's Answer: Well I'll tell you, the majority I'd say 99 percent are my baseball cards. And like one percent an index card, and very few pictures.

Joe's Question #3: It's been a while since your playing career ended. How do you feel about the autograph requests that you still get through the mail?

Mr. Burdette's Answer: Well as long as their not dealers it's OK. I mean I can tell the dealers after a while. Because the names the same and they always send a bunch a bunch of fibs about their brothers or somebody else that they're (the autographs) for. I don't like to sign those (dealer autographs). If they want an autograph, fine. If they're going to resell it then no.
Mr. Garver's Answer: I like them, I like to get them. A lot of people write nice stuff. They say that I made some kind of a contribution to baseball back in the 40's and 50's. You know I feel that way but I kind of suck that up. I kind of think, well may-be they mean that or may-be they're just being nice, but who cares. I'm tickled! I'm tickled that somebody wants my autograph!
Mr. Pappas's Answer: It's very flattering. I think it's absolutely flattering that they still remember, or the Dads remember. A lot of times the youngsters who are sending them in obviously never saw me play. I enjoy it!
