May the new year shine down on you and yours and your mailbox as well....
Start the year off right, good luck!

Happy New Year all!

From yesterday:
Bill Almon - 6/3 in about 40 days via home address. I had sent Mr. Almon 3 cards and offered him the duplicate. He not only signed and returned all three of my cards, but included an extra card of his own and signed both PIC. (scan (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/ttm/players/almon.htm))
Several of my Almon autographs are available on my TTM Trade Page (http://www.baseball-trivia-game.com/ttm/tradelist/tradelist.htm/).

He spoke at a SABR meeting I attended about a year and a half ago. Seems like a really nice guy, I agree.

A nice one today:

Does Zuverink charge (can't imagine he would just checking)? His 1951 Bowman Indians card was the pride of my collection when I was little. I'd love to have an auto of his.

Tony, I agree on all counts above.......
Fred Valentine is a great signer...I go back extras from him.
The O'Brien brothers, Ed and Jon, are truly wonderfull guys. I have heard this from former teams mates. I sent the Topps reprint to one of them and it took a while to come back, but it did, with sigs from both. And it is one of my favorite piees in my collection. So, I did it again...and got more back. I recomend that anyone get that dual card and send. Really impressive.
And Johnny Logan is as classy as can be.
And finally, my Mieselman came yesterday and it slept with my last night. I'm pumped...there are names that appear that weren't there before and along with the 2006-2007 newbies there is going to be plenty to do!!!!!!

1 Failure today -
One of my envelopes came back torn with nothing inside. It was weird because the tear was about 3/4 of the way through the envelope, which leads me to suspect someone pulled out the entire contents of the envelope (letter and card). It was in a plastic bag with a "sorry" note from the USPS.

I've gotten Kranepool from home for free in the past.
As have I. I got him back 2 yrs ago. Signed 2 cards. But I sent him an 8x10 this time around. And I asked for it to be personalized. I don't mind giving a "donation" of a few bucks every so often.

My 1st ever TTM came in today. :happy:Bobby Bonilla. I sent him 2 cards got 1 back. Blue Sharpie. It looks like it says Bobby Bo.
The 1 I got back wasn't one of the cards that I had originally sent.
I guess it doesn't really matter. It was a success.
It came fast, 6 days from his home address
I'm hooked on TTM now!!

His signing habits are as unpredictable as the flight of his knuckleball.
With that said though, I got him on the first try, although I have heard of people who have tried 6 or 7 times without any success.

Best TTM day in the year or so that I have been collecting!
I just returned to school after Christmas break, and I found 6 SASEs waiting for me. One of them was one that only had a 39 cent stamp on it, so I knew it was old, but it was also heavily damaged by water, so my hopes weren't too high for the well-being of whatever was inside. It turned out to be Goose Gossage, and thanks to the protective index cards, the card itself was relatively untouched by the water damage. In the end it took 323 days for me to get this back, making it my longest response time so far.
In addition, I got a return from former pitcher Billy Hoeft in 10 days, and a return from football HoFer Clarence "Ace" Parker, who also played several seasons in MLB.
Aside from baseball, I also got returns from NFL players Tommy Casanova, John Mackey, and Chuck Bednarik (the latter two are both HoFers too)
So the final tally for the day is 1 baseball Hall of Famer, 3 football Hall of Famers, a MLB all-star pitcher, and an NFL pro-bowl player. Not a bad day at the mailbox at all!

I got an interesting one today.
I received an EMPTY SASE return envelope in the mail with NO POSTMARK and the STAMP crossed out. I know it had to be in one of my letters because it was folded in thirds just like I normally have it in the letter. I am trying to figure out where it came from, as I have no clue to its origin. Anyone ever encounter this?

My sentiments exactly. From free to $25 is bit of a reach IMO. Yes,...some die-hards will still be willing to shell out the $25, but I can pretty much guarantee his mail is going to be all but a trickle of what it use to be.
$5, no prob. $7-$10. Do-able. $25??? I think he's off his rocker personally.

In all seriousness, I didn't know that you were allowed to send something like a TTM request to prison. Did you provide the SASE, or did he?
I provided the SASE. I sent the request to him on December 22nd of last yr.
Well you ARE allowed to receive mail when you are in prison (whether it's local lockup, or the pen). I would be willing to bet that any mail sent there is screened prior to Mr Aikens seeing it.

Jim Gosger 3/3 home 9 days
Gosger signed 8 x 10 blowups of his '66, '68 and '69 cards. He thanked me for for writing and he also responded with a little joke that referred to a passage in Jim Bouton's Ball Four.
Baseball needs more guys like him :)

I got it off a friend, who gave me his e-mail address, and he said that he would, so long as I didnt pass his home address on, so I shredded it, just in case I would be tempted. I still have his e-mail address, just in case I want another auto.

Today was my first, lets say disappointing day when it comes to TTM.
1 RTS to Troy O'leary. But it was my fault. Forgot to put Hse No. Waste of
stamp. Will go out again tommorrow w/hse no.
Billy Ripken 2/2 13 Days Blue Sharpie
Randy Verlarde 3/4 15 Days. Returned 1 card unsigned. Black Sharpie
Steve Balboni 1/4 6 Days. Returned 3 cards unsigned. Blue Ball Point
I guess I should expect that from time to time. I guess 1 card is better than
no cards.

Yesterday brought: personalized 8x10 from former Tiger hurler Terry Fox. Mr Fox was kind enough to not only sign the 8x10 that I sent him, but he also included his own 8x10 too. The 8x10 that he sent has pics of all of his baseball cards. It's actually well set up too.
On a sad note: former Reds hurler Bob Purkey is no longer able to sign autographs. I received a note from either his daughter or wife stating that he is very ill. :(

One today:
Wade Boggs - 2/2 in 12 days via home address. This is a HUGE success for me...I've been trying to get Boggs TTM off and on for over 15 years. He never used to sign TTM, even while active, but after seeing a recent batch of successes, I gave it a shot. A great TTM sig of a favorite of mine while growing up.
