Most of them from him though I have seen RTS's with a price list. He also does charge $50 for an auto, lol.

Oh well, at least I can used the SASE for someone else. roaddogg02316 01-29-2005, 12:05 PM Niekro is a jerk in my mind. He will not sign alot of the times. I have tried almost everything. I am 0 for 3 with him. 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. bronxbomber 01-31-2005, 05:04 PM Tommy Henrich 1035 Scott Drive #419 Prescott, AZ 86301 bronxbomber 02-08-2005, 04:24 PM Jack McDowell 2530 Crawford Avenue #307 Evanston, IL 60201 Roy White 297 Kinderkamack Rd. #101 Orsdell, NJ 07649-1535 roaddogg02316 02-11-2005, 01:32 PM RTS jim gott 1710 Banning Way San Marino,CA 91108-1712 leftyshan 02-11-2005, 01:42 PM RTS jim gott 1710 Banning Way San Marino,CA 91108-1712 This one works: Jim Gott 1739 Windsor Road San Marino, CA 91108-2527 bronxbomber 02-12-2005, 12:03 PM Kenny Lofton P.O.

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. bronxbomber 02-15-2005, 04:40 PM RTS Joe Niekro 39 Shadow Lane Lakeland, FL 33813 Remster 02-16-2005, 09:14 PM Willie McGee 668 Turquoise Dr Hercules,CA 94547 Came back not deliverable/unable to forward. roaddogg02316 02-17-2005, 02:22 PM Wes Chamberlain P.O.

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 03-12-2005, 02:41 PM Ed Smith Stadium 2700 12th Street Sarasota, FL 34237 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.
