I got a return from Mauer a few years ago. I believe I am up to over 100 guys now. My best and favorite is still Greg Maddux. I have also gotten Stan Musial, Mark Teixeira, Carson Palmer and plenty of other big names. Its usually best to send them to guys before they are stars, but every now and again a star will return one for you.
