Mail Time! #9

December 10, 2012

I have two fan packs to show you in this entry, both for teams from Detroit, the Tigers and Pistons.

On Friday, when I got home from school, I found this envelope from the Detroit Tigers:

The first thing that I pulled out was this page-long letter from the Tigers:

I then found this black-and-white photo of Alex Avila:

The last thing I pulled out was a pair of 2013 Tigers pocket schedules:

Simple, but sweet! I think I will try and get Alex Avila to sign that photo when I see the Tigers play in 2013.

The 2nd envelope, which I got in the mail on Saturday, from the Detroit Pistons, was much larger:

They, too, had a page-long letter:

I first pulled out a 2012-2013 season magnetic schedule:

Followed by 2 pocket schedules:

Then, I found 2 autographed pictures of Craig Monroe. As far as I can tell, he actually did sign them, the signatures are not printed on the picture!

For now, that is all I have to share with you. If I have a slow mail week this upcoming week, I have a few ideas for entries, so keep posted for those!
