In football you could try Fouts and Hampton they are fairly reliable. Webster and White are deceased. The rest of the football list I'm not sure about.

In basketball I sent something to Barkley 3 months ago and have yet to get it back. I would try Cowens who is pretty reliable and Parrish is automatic. The rest I don't know about.

I know nothing about hockey TTM so hopefully someone else can help you there.

Good Luck!

Double check the TTMM (Through the Mail Manager), it is a great resource.

I have gotten back from Thurman Thomas, but successes are few and far between. I've also seen success with Fouts.

Joe Dumars and Robert Parish are "automatic" signers - great HOF'rs to TTM'rs. I've seen success with Charles Barkley, but not too many and they seem to take awhile if they do come back...definitely worth the shot though. I think I did see a single success from Clyde Drexler recently too, although, that is the only one I have seen.

I'm not too sure about the hockey players, but according to the TTMM Larry Robinson is a very good signer. No successes are posted for the other fella's though.

Good Luck!

Emmitt Smith - sends his own card
Dan Fouts - signs
Thurman Thomas -signs
John Elway - does not sign TTM
Barry Sanders - think he sends a stamp or PP
Troy Aikman - sends his own PP


Good luck!

Just my $0.02 on what I've seen the past few years.
