    I have received envelopes/folders that were totally unsealed with my autographed item(s) still safely inside! The ones that upset me the most are ones that are never returned. I would much rather get an empty envelope or an RTS than the ones that never return home...

    One thing you can do (people do this for autographs as well as for wedding invitation response cards) is to number one of the corners of the envelope and track who that number was sent to. That way, when you get it back, you know who it was. This helps if you can't read the autograph, or in the case of a wedding, if the person didn't put their name on the response card you still know who it came from.

    Would using one of those envelopes where the sticky thing peels off and then tapes itself because it's sticky to the envelope not work? Only thing is that I've seen those for normal or larger sized envelopes but not the smaller ones which you place inside your own envelope and expect back.

    Ironically, my autographed card of Mike Leake, an arrested thief, was stolen from the envelope. I know it was him because when I got the unsealed envelope, a note saying thanks for the letter was still inside .....

    I had a baseball bat w/ 13 sigs I was sending TTM stolen, in either Bethpage, NY or Dallas, TX. Eddie Robinson get's the package but no bat. He called 411 in NY and tracked me down. Great guy, just sucks I lost the bat. Thank god I had insurance and no one I had on it has died. I've started a new one and it's been good so far.

    I do this. I will put the date sent and initials of the person in the bottom corner of my SASE. I already keep my requests logged in on another site. So if ever an issue of who an auto might be, if I just sent index or something that isn't obvious who the player is. Then I just look at the date and see who I sent to.
