I decided to try doing some TTM this year for the first time, as I've watched people post theirs for years and always been a little bit jealous. I started in Spring Training, and sent probably 50 to the team's spring facilities. Then after the season started, I sent another 75 or so to the stadiums. I tried to pick a good mix of stars, rookies, and common players that I liked. I purposefully used more current cards instead of sending rookie cards that may look like I was planning to resell. For some, I simply sent what I had on hand and with others, I chose a card that I really liked the photo on.
Just a couple of weeks after sending the initial batch off, I got my first return. ![]() Thanks, Adrian! Although I kind of wish it hadn't come so soon because it set a precedent that did NOT come to pass. Over the next few weeks, I get a couple of different things. Some printed photos (with preprinted sig) from Red Sox players, and my cards sent back with requests for donations to the team's charities from a few others. I passed on most of these but did send in a donation and got a signed Miguel Cabrera card back a few weeks later. In the past couple of months, the only thing I've gotten is a letter from Vin Scully that basically said "Thanks, but no autos. Sorry." Then today I got one back that I always assumed I would. I am a season ticket holder for the Rockies Low-A affiliate here in NC and met Corey a few times when he played here. The kid is a class act and if he could stay healthy, could really be a star. ![]() I'll update the thread over the coming months if I get any off season returns. Wish me luck! |

As a person who does TTM, always happy to read about what people get back in the mail. A site name StarTiger is the best. Good luck as it makes getting the mail fun!

Just to build on the last poster, this is more of a vintage autograph forum. You may want to try SCN or sportsgraphing for information and/or feedback.

Good luck with TTM! I'm pretty much done with it now that all the old timers (1930s-early 1950s) are either dead or in my collection, but I had a lot of fun. I echo what has been said about SCN. SCF was also a good one I used a lot, and Baseball-Fever used to be good, but it's pretty much dead now.
