This success was ground-breaking, it pioneered the use of linen paper as an alternative to traditional A4 card paper or regular printer paper. Linen paper is more bendable and slim enough to fit in a standard 4x6 envelope or C5 envelope and the results are flawless.
This was also my 1,001st Irish success.
In addition, this reply was received on a Sunday (this as a result of Christmas mailing arrangements), making me the first - and only - autograph collector in both Ireland and the world to receive a reply on a Sunday.
