I wrote to Bobby Jenks in 2009-2010, sending a signature card to get signed. This is what I got back and was initially disappointed.

At the time I was not much into getting Ginters signed…but this changed that quick. The card looked fantastic–clean design that really lets the autograph pop. I immediately started collecting signed Ginters.

Jenks was not a bad pitcher. He only spent seven seasons in the majors but would rack up 173 career saves, two All-Star selections and a World Series win (2005). He retired with a career ERA+ of 131 and 8.3 WAR–which is not bad at all.
