The "Does he sign?" Thread

[AlecBoy006]

No Problem Anjo.

[anjo25]

Since a thread specificly on this topic doesnt seem to exist, this is it, i guess. Maybe noone else needs it, but spending around 3$ in stamps and getting back an RTS or something isnt what I want...:) Ive got some more stamps from the USPS online store coming in, so I guess Ill start it off with these:

Jose Canseco:)
Gil McDougald
Craig Biggio
Jimmy Rollins
Gregg Olson
Sid Hudson
Rick Waits
Terry Steinbach
George Bell
Juan Pierre

Ill wait til spring with all the active players...Help please...:hp

See responses above.

[Mike D.]

I got Craig Biggio TTM a few years back, but don't know if he's changed his signing habits since then.

[bailiff]

The last two times I've gotten Steinbach, he requested 3 dollars for charity.

[hudsonharden]

Gregg Olson - yep

Juan Pierre - hit or miss

[anjo25]

Wow, thanks guys!:gt Got 1 more:
Kelly Shoppach Indians Prospect...Ill send him some for spring training

[rwolfe09]

Does anyone know of any football or hockey players that do TTM?

[bailiff]

That's a pretty vague question. There are literally tons of websites (including mine) that have lists of NFL, NBA and NHL players that will sign.

[rwolfe09]

Mario Williams is also a good signer

[Dalkowski110]

Oliver Perez? Found I have two rookie cards of him, figured one signed couldn't hurt.

[anjo25]

He used to sign in about 2 weeks,havent tried him, though, and i think he still does! Its worth a try, why not?

[Dalkowski110]

Okay, next time I go to the post office, I'll be sure and send out his card! Should I include a note of any kind (I do know some Spanish from three years of it in high school and could definitely bang out a note of reasonable quality) to potentially increase the chances?

[kearns643]

The problem, as you know, is some are spotty signers...and it depends who is asking...so its pretty much a crap shoot.

[kearns643]

[Oakland A's]

Does Rafael Frucal sign?

[anjo25]

Ive heard thats he's preety good signing in person, but i dont think he signs ttm that much...:ughh

*Thats my 100th post!:D

[VIBaseball]

[QUOTE=anjo25]ITanana pitched in what is considered the greatest college baseball game of all time when he duelled Frank Viola back a few years ago...I made there sigs into a framed piece about the game with the help from St. John U....program, boxscore, newpaper clips...nice piece

Surely that's Ron Darling (Yale) you're talking about in the duel with Viola.

[kearns643]

[QUOTE=kearns643]

You are right, I stand corrected, again.

[anjo25]

What about frank Viola and darling? do they sign?

[anjo25]

Anyone? How about:

Wade Boggs (c/o HOF or home?)
Ryne Sandberg(C/o HOF or home?)
Bruce Sutter(HOF or home?)
Charlie Leibrandt
Von Hayes

Also, how much does Nolan Ryan charge?

thanks for all the help ive gotten on the other players!

Boggs - Not that I am aware of.
Sandberg - Haven't seen any successes. Even difficult in person unless you are paying for it.
Sutter - Don't know if he signs TTM. Great guy in person.
Leibrandt - I haven't received anything from him. But a great guy in person.
Hayes - Great TTM and in person.

Ryan charges somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-60 for cards and other flat items.

[bailiff]

Sutter used to sign ttm before he went into the hall, but since then I haven't seen many successes.

[kite2100]

Pat Strange
John Smoltz
Michael Young
C/O home for all?

[rockiesfan4ever]

Any Rockies success with TTM?

[Oakland A's]

Does Jim Abbott sign?

[anjo25]

Ive heard that Abbots not much of a signer, but ill try him too, later this week. Ill keep you posted

[AlecBoy006]

I got Sutter before he went into the hall ttm. Muahahahahahaha!

[kearns643]

I got Sutter before he went into the hall ttm. Muahahahahahaha!

A teenager with an edge....Muahahahahahaha

[AlecBoy006]

Yup, that's me. A teen. Gosh, I love being one :).

[bailiff]

Kearns I totally agree with you about the teenager part. Plus his sig just about drives me nuts everytime I read it. lol

[AlecBoy006]

Being a teenager pwns. Hell, I got Duke Snider just about 2 months ago TTM because of it. I also got Tony Oliva like in March too. It feels so good that I am getting guys not too many ttm!

[kearns643]

Kearns I totally agree with you about the teenager part. Plus his sig just about drives me nuts everytime I read it. lol

And the thing Drew, is that I know teenagers in the hobby, here and others places that are humble, appriecitive and feel like hobby is not a bragging thing...not the fastest raising star...but a humbling thing really. When one of them tells me they got so and so, or so and so...they actually feel lucky and in awe that that happened to them. My son, is oftened in awe that he gets his request back and would only tell his friends in a honoring way.
The hobby is great...I am gald I can share it. Thank you Drew for all your help.

[AlecBoy006]

Hey- I am in awe too. And I appreciate my autographs. It's not like I sell them or anything. :)

[bailiff]

Alec, you miss the point totally. Selling auto's isn't even a big deal. But somewhere in this process you come off as being obnoxious. It's just my opinion, but others will agree. It's not about who can get more autos. It's not even so much about who you got. This is supposed to be fun, and seeing your sig and reading some of your posts is not fun for me. I am not coming down on you. I appreciate what you have done for this site.

Thanks kearns. Thank you for making this site so great. I enjoy reading your posts as well.

[AlecBoy006]

I heard on Ryan's foundation website that he charges 35 percard. Sounds like a price I wouldn't mind sending.

[TigersFanB406]

My foundation could use donations too. I only ask 30 bucks.

[AlecBoy006]

That's mean!

[TigersFanB406]

LOL I was just kiddin.

[Cubsfan97]

Wait...Im not sure if I am reading this right...but you can send crads through the mail to get signed and they do it (or at least a few of them)? I assume TTM is "through the mail". Are there any Cubs players who do it? Where do you find addresses? This sounds mighty interesting. Do they sign things other than cards?

It's great! The things they have to say if you ask them good questions is really interesting! There are some Cubs who sign. Bill Campbell and Mickey Morandini are among the best. Check my Collection (It isnt big!) in the archived collections sub forum and feel free to PM me!

[TigersFanB406]

Anjo, you gotta take him off "block user". lol j/k

Does Mariano Rivera sign or not? If so, does he charge?

[AlecBoy006]

Mariano's not the best signer, but he does a fair share. Try the Yankees.

[anjo25]

Rivera's Sig is gorgeous! Ill give him a try. Can you write so players c/o their teams during the winter-does the mail get forwarded to the players?

[AlecBoy006]

Try it! I wrote to Kaline C/O Tigers and got a response like back in March.

[TigersFanB406]

Thanks. Will do. He's one of my favourite pitchers no doubt.

[AutographCollector]

What month did you write to him?

[anjo25]

Ill be getting a box of 1991 Fleer, what 1991 players sign?

[AlecBoy006]

I probably used it back in March.
