Sometimes customers entering the store were so engaged with the photos that they confided in their own connection and offered to provide additional special photos. This explains how Bob received the card and the Cardinals team photo, from Red Schoendienst, manager of the Cardinals from 1965 to 1976.

Keith Hernandez visited the store and offered to send a frameable autographed photo. That is how we came to have this wonderful addition to the display with a personalized inscription too: "To Robert, Let's Go Mets! Keith Hernandez, '79 NL MVP." Hernandez was a defensive wizard at first base (widely considered the best fielding first baseman ever, with 11 straight Gold Gloves) and a key leader on the Mets' 1986 World Series championship team.

This autographed photo was a gift as well, showing McGwire in his Oakland A’s days, possibly in his Rookie of the Year 1987.
