i was just wondering if you sent the notecard to Joe Morgan or if he supplies the notecard cause i was thinking of sending him a card unless he only supplies the signed notecards. Help would be appreciated

Morgan does not typically sign items that are sent to him, however if you write to him you're almost guaranteed to get a signed index card. My guess is that he pre-signs a large number of index cards at one time and then has a secretary mail them out as the requests come in. It would be nice to have him sign a baseball card, but I'm happy just to get anything signed by one of the greatest second baseman in history.

Excellent! Then I should be getting mine one of these days too!

Hopefully! I had tried him during ST, but had no luck. I had very little luck with Red Sox in ST, actually. I saw a success for Pedroia at the ballpark, though, and gave it a try...and am very pleased with the results!

[redsoxocd]

He's an instructional coach.

Nope. He has been an instructional coach with the Bosox for yrs now. He's always at Spring Training too.

THEN WHY WERE OTHER TEAMS COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM BEING IN THE DUGOUT!!!!

[AutographCollector]

THEN WHY WERE OTHER TEAMS COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM BEING IN THE DUGOUT!!!!

They were complaining about him being there during the regular season, not during ST.

[SDL]

THEN WHY WERE OTHER TEAMS COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM BEING IN THE DUGOUT!!!!

Because the other teams had nothing better to do than be jerks about it. What harm is Johnny gonna do. They can't RESPECT him?

2 Draft Day Successes!

Lars Davis c/o Tri City
Steven Cishek c/o Jamestown Jammers

Scans are on my site.

[Sean Casey]

Great success today - Bobby Shantz c/o home in 6 days. In my letter to him, I included an extra index card and asked him if he could share the story of his lone career outfield appearance. He gave a nice long explanation about how Mickey Mantle had to make an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show that night, and the game was going too long for him to stay, so Stengel had Shantz play center field in place of Mantle for the rest of the game. The also signed and inscribed the other index card with "1952 A.L. M.V.P." as requested. Thank you very much, Mr. Shantz!

Easler's a great guy. In '90 he was the manager of the Miami Miracle and I got to know him back the. Few years later he's the hitting coach with the Sox. I'm at a ST game ; my wife is wearing her Miracle cap
He sees us, comes over to chat, he; signing for teh people around us and without saying anything, takes the cap off wife's head and signs it :)

I just sent out a couple requests to the Buffalo Bisons. I've never seen a success from them, but I've never seen anyone send out there, either. Anyone know anything about the team in general? (I basically just want to make sure I have to count on the players signing, not the team delivering the mail)

Your Welcome,

BIG SUCCESS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

In March I sent a 2005 ToppsUH All-Star Stitches card to Jon Garland c/o the White Sox ST. I sent a treal sincere letter and made a bunch of safety precautions so that the card made it there and back safely. It was and still is the ONLY Jersey pack pull I have made. And after a few months I thought I lost it forever.
Well, today i opened my mailbox and saw the small sase with a 39cent stamp on it, do not bend written on it and postmarked form Chicago, IL; I was so excited, and when I opened it up I was overjoyed. So never give up on a request.

Also I got a bunch of unsigned cards in a trade with icecool1994

I just got a success from Jeff Harris who plays for the Bisons. I just sent one out to Jeremy Sowers because Ive seen a lot of successes for him on SCN. All I really know is that they are AAA for Cleveland

[Coal Cracker]

Question for you folks that do this regularly- what do you send to the players? SASE, card, letter asking for an autograph? I acquired a fairly long list of ex-Yankees addresses a couple years ago but have never tried anything TTM before. I figured I should start doing this now since I figure I won't have much time in college.

[EricDavis]

Chase Utley - postcard, but really signed.

[AutographCollector]

Question for you folks that do this regularly- what do you send to the players? SASE, card, letter asking for an autograph?
You pretty much hit it on the nose. I send either 1 or 2 cards or sometimes an 8x10 of the player.

[NJMetfan4life]

Can you send cards of the player on another team, does anyone know if they would mind? For example if I sent Mike Piazza a Card of him on the Mets, would he sign it even though he's on the Athletics?

[duckydps]

They will sign no matter which team is on the card.

Not always true. For instance, David Wells will only sign cards of him in a Blue Jays uniform.

I used to be a neighbor of his. He said he'll only sign Blue Jays cards because he wants his son to be the only one with signed cards of him in other team uniforms.

I used to be a neighbor of his. He said he'll only sign Blue Jays cards because he wants his son to be the only one with signed cards of him in other team uniforms.

That's fine with me. Three of the four Wells cards I have are of him in a Toronto uniform. I'm cool with that

Of the remaining 7, I'm awaiting responses from Daniels, Cimoli, and Mejias, which leaves just Don Gross, Dick Barone, Bill Mazeroski, and Joe Christopher. Mazeroski doesn't sign TTM, I know, but does anyone have any info on the signing habits of the other 3? SCN doesn't have much info on them.

Ken Johnson 1/1 c/o home in 9 days - personalized index card as requested

On a more frustrating note, I also got a RTS from Bernie Carbo. Not frustrating that he didn't sign it, but frustrating because the post office completely destroyed the letter, badly damaging my 1975 topps that was inside. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Just because it's RTS doesn't mean it's not a real address. Some players RTS any mail they suspect to be fan mail. The best bet is to respect the player's privacy.

Speedy return and a great sig, as usual for Mr. Neshek, a really classy guy. :clapping :clapping :clapping

[chucksk8er]

Anyone who has gotten Maddux back this year was it a handwritten note or typed? I would just really like 1 card of his. I think I have tried 2 or 3 times, I cant remember now. I just really want 1. Plus im running out of my duplicates

[MadHatter]

Joey Jay - 1/1 in 177 days. My longest so far this year. He added the extra 2 cent stamp! Thanks!

[AutographCollector]

Yesterday brought in 8x10's of:

Boof Bonser 1/1 c/o twins in 34 days

Also got a RTS from Bob Wickman - I wasn't paying attention when I wrote the address on the envelope and I accidentally wrote down the Diamondbacks address. Oh well, I only lost 41 cents, and I'm sure whoever checks incoming mail for the D-Backs probably had a good laugh.

7/20

A weird one today. I saw one of my return envelopes in the mailbox, which was cool because I haven't had successes two days in a row in what feels like ages.

I open it up, and...no cards...no index cards...just 5 pages of religious materials folded up to fit. It appears to be a chunk from a larger magazine/pamphlet called "The Watchtower". It's dated Dec 1, 1999.

The envelope is postmarked Lakeland, FL, and it has a forever stamp on it, so it's probably something I sent since about May 1.

The only Florida person I've sent to since then is Scott Olsen of the Marlins...maybe it's from him?

Anyone see anything like this before?

[Lin_Kuei_Fighter]

Bob Borkowski- 1953 Topps, no reprint.

[bailiff]

2 new draft picks in today!

Greg Holland--Royals 10th Rounder signed my homemade card that was sent to the Idaho Falls Chuckers.

Omar Arif---29th Rounder of the D'Backs signed c/o Yakima Bears. He also answered a couple questions for me.

Scans are on my site.

[SDL]

Jack Lamabe 3/3, home I sent out last Novenber, finally got it. He sent a small printed note stating that he has rheumatoid arthritis and he cannot clearly sign stuff. He instead hand-stamped the three card blowups I sent, his Topps '63, '64 and '65 cards.

The URL for the article he incuded on his note he sent is out of date, so I may drop him a note to advise him of that. I also plan to make a donation to the Arthritis Fundation in his name. My mother had rhumatoid athritis in her later years so I have lived with it.

I doubt it was from Olsen. Lakeland is nowhere near Miami. Did you mail anything to anybody in the Detroit system, since Lakeland is their Florida base or to anybody who may have been sent to a FSL team since you mailed it out?

[bryanspellman]

Brett Butler c/o Mobile BayBears 2/2 31 days. Thanks!!

[duckydps]

Jacque Jones c/o Cubs!!

[kearns643]

John Tamargo Sr. dad of Jr. both coaching in the minors.

Took a closer look at my "sent" list, and found one from Tampa Bay (Delmon Young), and one from Detroit (Kenny Rogers). Neither strike me as the culprit, but I might be wrong.

Another possibility is Ruben Mateo, who was on the Huntville Stars, but doesn't appear to be on their roster any more. I had sent to him c/o the Stars. His home address not in Harvey's book, maybe he's in Florida?

That's awesome man. :applaud: :)

I look at it this way. Guys like Lamabe are from the pre-big money era. They gave their all just to get to the bigs. OK, he's not HOF material, but they played for the fans and for pride. Why shouldn't us fans give something back?

[baseballchamp14]

David Murphy 2/2 Pawsox

[dmbfan]

One in yesterday: Mark Davis 4/4

One in Today: Henry Cotto 4/4

[rtcrules]

Gary Gaetti - 9 Days c/o Durham
Cecil Cooper - 23 Days c/o Houston

Also got Pat Burrell returned from the Phillies unsigned with a jumbo card a couple days ago

[kearns643]

Eric Gagne...send to Texas and he will return your cards but will send his own, oversized signed back....nice...

[SDL]

David Murphy 2/2 Pawsox

Murphy's a great kid. I've gotten four things signed IP over the years. I pic of him in a Baylor uniform and a pic the day he signed..got those when he was playing with the SaraSox; this spring a posed Bosox pic and a posed Sea Dog pic.

[SDL]

He's our top prospect, he and Brandon Moss have a good shot to replace Manny and possibly Drew in a year or so. Believe me...with the trade deadline coming up in a little more than a week, Theo Epstein will hear other GMs mentioning Murphy's name in any possible deal.

[chucksk8er]

2 yesterday

Jacque Jones c/o Cubs 1/1 5 days Finally!! It only took 3 tries
Wilbur Wood c/o home 1/1 65 days

[Mike D.]

He's our top prospect, he and Brandon Moss have a good shot to replace Manny and possibly Drew in a year or so. Believe me...with the trade deadline coming up in a little more than a week, Theo Epstein will hear other GMs mentioning Murphy's name in any possible deal.

He's a solid player, but he's far from Boston's top prospect. At best, he's their third best OF prospect, behind Ellsbury and Moss. Lists like soxprospects.com have him 11th in the system, and that's about right.

He probably projects more to a "good 4th outfielder" than a starter, which is the role I hope they give him next year.

[Mike D.]

Three amazingly quick successes yesterday!

I started a new TTM project the other day...2007 Pawtucket Red Sox and Portland Sea Dogs. I'll post more details about it in another thread. I dropped my first four Pawsox requests at the post office around 4:15 on Thursday. Yesterday, the mail came, and I had gotten THREE of the FOUR back, signed...in 3 days. I think it'd be physically impossible to get something signed TTM faster than this!

The three super-fast signers:

Jeff Bailey - 2/2. Bailey made his major league debut this year for Boston. (scan (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/ttm/players/bailey.htm))

Mike Burns - 2/2. Burns is a veteren who's seen major league time with Bosto, Cincinatti, and Houston. (scan (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/ttm/players/burns.htm))

Craig Breslow - 1/2. A "young veteren" at 26, Breslow has seen major league time in Boston and San Diego. (scan (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/ttm/players/breslow.htm))

do moss or ellsbury sign ttm if so how long does it usually take to get them back.

Also I forgot to post this yesterday but along with my David Murphy success I got Oaklands Starting Pitcher Chad Gaudin, happy to get that back cause he's gonna be great someday

Don't be surprised if Ellsbury personalizes. He asked me for my name when I got him IP diring ST

[Mike D.]

Moss was the fourth player I sent to on Thursday, so I'll report when/if I get something back.

I'll be sending to Ellsbury soon, just waiting for the Portland Sea Dogs sets I ordered in the mail to come in (he appears in both the Pawsox and Sea Dogs team sets).

You should get a return from Moss. He's a very friendly kid with a great sense of humor.

[MadHatter]

Mickey Klutts - 3/3 in 7 days


Does anyone know if Mark Wagner or Tommy McMillan sign TTM?

[Lin_Kuei_Fighter]

Any guys you sent out to recently?

I was at a card show today, bought Don Larsen's 65 Topps when he was on the Astros. Just sent it out. I think he signs licenced items for free, but I got my Pacific Legends asking for a price, because it's an unlicensed item without his consent.

[Mike D.]

You should get a return from Moss. He's a very friendly kid with a great sense of humor.

Cool, I hope so, he's a good player having a breakout year in his first season at AAA.

[Sean Casey]

Roman Mejias 2/1 c/o home in 18 days. He signed the index card that I sent and included his own signed 1964 Topps card. The autograph looks so nice on the card that I had to double check to make sure 1964 wasn't one of the years that Topps included facsimile signatures on their cards!

[hudsonharden]

Neil Wagner - 1/1 - 10 days
Nick Weglarz - 1/1 - 57 days

[AutographCollector]

Today brought:
8x10 of BoSox 2B Dustin Pedroia (The 8x10 says To Tony and he signed his name) & Harrisburg Senators IF Dan Dement:

[Lin_Kuei_Fighter]

Robin Roberts- Included HOF 76
Carl Scheib- Sent $2, and signed my Archives 1953. When asked what his most memorable moment was "Pitching in my first game at age 16."

[Mike D.]

I have created a thread in Archived/Personal Collections to track my new TTM project Mike D's 2007 Pawsox/Sea Dogs TTM Project (http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=64987).

I'll continue to post successes here, but figured I'd throw up a link in case anyone was interested.

[chucksk8er]

2 today

Kevin Barry c/o Richmond Braves 1/1 30 days
Ray Fontenot c/o home 5/3 55 days signed both PrIC

[dmbfan]

One in today:

Juan Pierre 1/1 c/o Dodgers ST sent in April. Nice to see this one come back.

[hudsonharden]

Justin Maxwell - 1/1 - 12 days
Tim Teufel - 2/2 - 21 days

[Sean Casey]

Bobby Richardson 1/1 c/o home in 8 days

[BoofBonser26]

I just got back from vacation, and found two successes waiting for me in my mailbox when I got back!

Asdrubal Cabrera 1/1 c/o Akron Aeros 3 days (!)
Beau Mills 1/1 c/o Lake Co. Captains 7 days

Both players signed custom baseball cards. I'm really thrilled about the Mills success. It's my favorite creation so far, and it was a dream to get back this card so quickly with a great sig of the Indians' top draft pick in '07.

[Cowtipper]

I thought I'd never see this one again, but I'm glad it's back...

Phil Norton-signed 1/1 in 622 days c/o his home address.

It's a '99 Topps prospect card with signitures Micah Bowie and Randy Wolf on it as well, so I'm glad I was able to get Norton on it to complete the card.

[jakre]

Tommie Reynolds - 1 year
other 2 took 2 weeks

[bryanspellman]

Boof,

I love your custom cards, how in the heck do you make them?!?!?!?!?!?!?:shrug:

They are awesome and perfect for TTM.

[baseballchamp14]

Sparky Anderson c/o 2 weeks

Mike Timlin 1/1

21 days
also included one of his own cards, unsigned

[icee82]

On Monday, I received a signed baseball from George Kell and a signed photograph from Mickey Vernon. The sigs are great. Kell added his HOF year. I did not include a fee.

2 weeks each

[ttmman21]

Michael Cuddyer 1/1 c/o Minnesota Twins

Brian Anderson 1/1 c/o Charlotte Knights

Pat Hentgen 2/2 c/o Home

[metrotheme]

I had a great day at that mailbox today after being away from the crib for a few days.

George Kell - Signed HOF Plaque, 53 Topps Archives and Index Card (All w/ HOF 83)
Sparky Anderson - Signed HOF Plaque, Returned Index Card Blank
Marty Marion - Signed 4x6 Photo and Index Card w/ 1944 MVP (Signed my letter but did not return my questionnaire about managing Satchel Paige)
Matt Batts - Signed 4x6 Photo and Index Card and a short note saying how he is not allowed to comment on former players (blank questionnaire on Satchel Paige .. he was Paige's catcher in the majors)
Billy Bryan - Signed Index Card (Returned Questionnaire on catching Satchel Paige's last game in the majors in 1965 blank)
Clyde King - Signed Topps Archives Dodgers Card and wrote a short note on the index card

Very nice list of successes, all took around 1-2 weeks. A little disappointed that nobody wants to comment on playing with Satchel Paige in the major leagues.

[EricDavis]

That's weird and disconcerting that no one would talk about Paige.

[BoofBonser26]

That's weird and disconcerting that no one would talk about Paige.
Very odd. I assume it's nothing new, though.

[BoofBonser26]

And now, my own successes. Although I'm a TTM (relative) newbie, I did celebrate today as my first multi-success day ever.

Jeremy Sowers 1/1 and Joe Inglett 1/1, both care of Buffalo and both 14 days (and both custom cards).

[chucksk8er]

2 today and hopefully my Sowers will come in tomorrow than

Joe Inglett c/o Buffalo Bisons 1/1 9 days
Jeremy Bonderman c/o Tigers Autos for a cause 1/1 9 days included $5

[Sean Casey]

Lee MacPhail 1/1 c/o home in 20 days

[metrotheme]

That's weird and disconcerting that no one would talk about Paige.

Yeah and I mean the questions were pretty specific baseball wise (i.e. what pitches did he like to throw, how was his velocity, did he offer guidance to the younger players being he was in his 40's by the time he got there, did they have a chance to face him, etc).

There is so much written on his plajy in the Negro Leagues but not a ton of detail on what he did in the majors, and he spent over 4 seasons there. I'll continue with some of his other living teammates / opponents and see what I can get.

Sorry for asking this in here but I never want to start a new topic for these silly questions.

I looked around and couldnt find ( maybe im just missing it) but does Tony Gwynn sign c/o the Aztecs?

[metrotheme]

FAILURE -

Moose Skowron - 2 Weeks - Returned Card + Index Card Unsigned
- I've read mixed things about him lately signing through the mail, I thought I would have had better luck.

Success -
Received 2 Items I Purchased on Ebay
Bill Terry Signed HOF Plaque w/ PSA Cert Letter - $8.00
Lou Dials (Negro League) Signed Fritsch Card - $6.50

[MadHatter]

My first success in quite a while:

Frank Lary 1/1 in 185 days on a 1959 Topps card

[Cowtipper]

Brian Anderson-signed 1/1 in 115 days c/o the White Sox.

[AutographCollector]

My first success in quite a while:

Frank Lary 1/1 in 185 days on a 1959 Topps card

How ironic is that? I got back from him today too. I saw a stamp that I didn't recognise with a 2 cent one next to it, then I saw his return label.

[metrotheme]

No he doesn't. I would say this presents a big challenge for recruiting, as he must get alot of mail addressed to him from potential players returning forms, etc etc .. but then again because they are a big D-1 program, alot of their recruiting is done in person not through the mail (i.e. sending video, filling out player info forms, etc etc).
