Default OT: A Touching Story About Requesting Autographs By Mail

Posted By: warshawlaw

I actually had my best success with basketball players via mail. I went after coaches and broadcasters especially and got Wes Unseld, Rick Adelman, Stu Lantz, Gary Grant, Karl Malone, Buck Williams, Don Nelson and I few others I can't recall. I was surprised to get Malone; the card came back with a note that said Karl would not be signing through the mail after the current batch of autographs due to overwhelming volume.

I also did ok with requests when they had that old farts grapefruit league in FL. Got Fergie Jenkins and Graig Nettles that way.
