The gist of the post is that TTM is such a rewarding activity for kids, that it actually teaches them to write. I couldn't bribe my kids to write a school assignment with a positive attitude. But they have never complained about writing for TTM.

And I agree, the best part are the surprises you get. Carl Erskine wrote my kids a very nice note. George Shuba included a book for them with a note. And Don Mueller, RIP, also sent back a note and a nice inscription on the ball.

I also use sportscollectors.net. It is very helpful for knowing who is worth trying for and who is not.

Would love any suggestions and tips!

Nice Eric! But where did your 11 and 12 year old kids get 1951 Topps cards from?! Nice blog, enjoyed reading it!
