i think its funny that killebrew has a price list. i was watching step by step the other day and it was an episode about a ball player charging a kid 50 dollars for an autograph. killebrew played himself doing an interview with the guy. he complained about the player charging and signed the ball for free. i know its tv but i still think its funny

Once and a while he does sign for free. Most of them from him though I have seen RTS's with a price list. He also does charge $50 for an auto, lol. It is for his charity though.

im not sure if this works. but i heard if you circle your return addy on the envelope he sees that and will sign. someone told me its like a sign to him that he said its ok for you to mail to him. idk if it works. i have tried and im still waiting. last time i got an RTS really soon. no RTS back so maybe he will sign.i'll let ya know.

I was told if you circle your return addy that its a code to him that "he said its ok for you to send" didnt work for me. then i saw that ur supposed to circle ur hometown on the envelope. havent even bothered ne more. hes a stubborn old man i think lol.

Dirty rotten Bob Horner got me again. Even after reading about recent successes, he opened a part of the envelope and then refused it. He's not really dirty, rotten I was just kidding. Its his right, I'll just have to try again sometime. This is the second time this week I got a refusal after the envelope was torn open. Jay Buhner tore a corner open and then refused. Oh well, I had trouble getting Buhner when he played with the Mariners.

Jose Rijo-2 Attempts.

First one I sent using the Reds ST addy off sportscollectors.net Has since been updated. But it was the intersection of 2 streets at Ed smith stadium. Came back RTS.

2nd attempt RTS-Attempted Not Known using this address
Cincinnati Reds
Ed Smith Stadium
2700 12th St.
Sarasota, FL 34237
which is the address off that site which is most up to date(obviously not)
So this one came back, it had been very wet at some point, envelope was unsealed and almost going to fall apart. SASE stuck to one of my cards, thus ruining it. my letter from the wetness transferred over to anything it was touching. so my sase has like my letter on it too lol. Horrible attempt.

Anyone know the correct Reds ST addy?? Ha!

bilar
03-12-2005, 01:40 PM
Road Dogg, I'm wondering if the Reds are not distributing their spring training mail. I got a returned card unsigned by Sean Casey. I would consider him one of the best/nicest guys in baseball. I was shocked. It's the second such card I've received from the Reds in the last two weeks, the other being Jr.

By the way, Rijo is not with the Reds, he along with Barry Larkin followed GM Jim Bowden to Florida to be special assistants for the Marlins

Turd Ferguson

That's the address listed on Spring Training Magazine's website. It looks like they might be refusing mail.

roaddogg02316
03-12-2005, 10:04 PM
Yeah I found out about Rijo, but it seems odd that it was Attempted Not Known, that usually means they tried to deliver it and couldnt locate it I thought. If hes not there usually they would put like Not at this address, but only if it got thru to a team representative. I figured Rijo followed Larkin when I heard he was w/ the Nationals. I wonder if Larkin will sign now.

Check out www.star-collector.net and click his sports address page, and you can search for the astros players by last name to see what sort of luck he's had.
