Writing to ball players..........
Posted By: hrbaker
You have hit on my other passion along with collecting prewar. I have since 1986 been writing to current and retired players. Along the way I have accumulated over 10,000 signed cards. In the early 80's through mid-90's I would run about a 90% success rate. In the past several years it has trailed off to about 60%. You obviously have to pick your spots, you are not going to get A Rod back! Most retired players will honor your request but quite a few have started charging a nominal fee. Just recently I got a card back from a retired Pirates pitcher with a note that said, "I don't want to see this card on ebay!"
