Pleased to see a couple more return today.

Tom Watt - 16 days

I have never previously distinguished between the B&W EE cards with printed signatures and the same pictures without printed signatures. As I am getting towards the end of my collection, I thought it would be even more fun to treat them as variants, so as I had Tom's normal card signed, I sent an unsigned card with printed signature to him along with a record card. #514

My second reply saw the welcome return of my Olympics t-shirt. This time round it went to Helen Glover, MBE, and she also got Heather Stanning, MBE to sign it. Unlike the footballers, I actually got my Sharpie back as well! Took 47 days.

Tom watts, Nice bloke, Had him at a few Stanley games last season, hasn't changed much, hair greyer, that's abou it. Pleased for you Nigel.

Shirt looks great Nigel, Nice to see it return with 2 graphs added, all the best when it travels again.

I was tired yesterday after being up from 2am. I just looked this morning, and if you look a bit closer, Helen has signed as Heather also - the H is identical. Another project dead in the water.

Lofty i remember him well ,the t shirt looks good fingers crossed on its next trip if indeed you send it i can see me coming to you for some info ???

Good idea about the EE cards - great reply. Sorry about the shirt

[westiesx2]

Couple of nice replies Nigel. EE card looks great, just a shame about the shirt.

[mr_clough]

Great replies Nigel. I've never been a big EE fan but I remember Lofty. Tom Watt always seemed like a good bloke. I have a book of his on my shelf about football - A Passion for the Game. I admit I haven't read it yet though.

[thehornets]

I have the same book by Tom, signed by him also. It is a good read. He is a down to earth guy who loves the game, and understands supporters.

Nice additions to your EE collection but how do you get Tom Watts out of that signature???!!

nice e/e reply nigel

[film4watcher]

Great reply from Tom Watt, Nigel. A character I know from the time I watched EE. Real shame about the shirt. Why do they do that?

[sylouisetruebluechelsea]

2 Great results Nigel the EE cards must be a bit of a mine field tracking them all down ,I know how hard it is completing a collection as I now need 87 Chelsea away programmes too complete every home and away from 59/60 too 91/92 pre prem and it gets really tricky and expensive do you find that with the EE cards?

[thehornets]

Quite a few of the cards I am missing are not cheap, but they are still a lot lower than in 2007 before the 2008 economy crash. Where possible I will always try to do what I have done with Tom, and get a card to send ttm. Much better than buying a signed card. Too many scum buckets on ebay selling fakes.

Another fantastic addition to your brilliant EE collection Nigel well done . I'm sorry your shirt has been spoiled why do people do that ??????????

[falcons_flyhalf]

Great replies

[knockknock-66-uk]

Two excellent replies Nigel. There's an EE actor that i actually remember LOL 🙂

[thehornets]

What do people think? Would it be rude of me to write back and explain how signing for someone else has ruined the shirt? My wife thinks I should. She was more annoyed than me as she was enjoying seeing a non-football related shirt come back in the post. Second time it has happened to me recently as well. Had he Ryder Cup shirt ruined by an Ian Woosnam sec.
