Fan Packs

My first "fanpack" return came in the mid-1980's when I wrote to minor league teams to physical addresses found in the back of a Beckett Magazine (I believe it was Beckett).  I remember pretty vividly getting a return from the Buffalo Bisons that included letterhead, a pocket schedule and a round logo sticker.  Sadly, those items have been lost to the sands of time.

I dove back in to fan packs in March of 2019 sending emails to teams via addresses found on SportsCardForum.com.  My favorite returns include pocket schedules, logo stickers and cards.  But the Red Sox have established a tradition of sending small bags of dirt from the field at Fenway Park.  That is pretty difficult to beat.

Current tally: 19
Baseball: 12
Hockey: 4
Football: 2
Basketball: 1
