This thread reminds me of the good old days of TTM, over 20 years ago.
Even Joe DiMaggio would sign for you, one item, once a month. Don't ask for more because I think he kept records of the requests. He actually signed a couple of B&W HOF plaks for me, using that one a month schedule. Joe Sewell would thank you for remembering him. You would get your requests back from Bobby Thomson in 4-5 days. Clint Hartung took one year. Most living HOFers would respond to you in 10 days or so. Good times.

I've used the mail for a ton of my autographed baseballs, because the guys I look for are so obscure nobody seems to know who they are. I have reached out to every WWII Vet I can find, but as you can imagine, the list is fairly short.
5 years ago, I sent a ball to Fred Bradley (say it together now: "WHO??") It never came back, which is the price you pay with through the mail. Well, two weeks ago, a package shows up with my own pre-printed address. I stared at it for a while, since I knew I hadn't sent one out in over a year. I was like a kid at Christmas! When I opened it, there was a nice note from his wife, saying that Mr. Bradley isn't doing to well. He must have gotten my package, and put it on a shelf in the garage. She had just come across it while cleaning, had him sign it, and returned it to me. How cool is that!! Ken earlywynnfan5@hotmail.com

Ken Johnson no-hitter picture
I just received this TTM signed postcard back from Colt 45 no-hitter pitcher Ken Johnson. Johnson threw his no-hitter on 4/23/64 and has the unusual distinction of losing it.
This postcard itself is a really rare, as not many of these were produced back in the 1960's. I picked it up a while ago on eBay and sent it off to ask if he would be willing to sign it. He responded promptly and I received it back in less than a week. One of the things that I collect is signed postcards of no-hit pitchers. I had never found one for Johnson wearing the correct style uni. I'm happy to add this guy to my collection.
