I Think The Mailman Is Stealing My Autographs, But....

[outtahere]

... I am trying to remain positive and patient. Just trying to have some fun with it and hopefully gain some good spirits from other sucessful TTMers. I have just recently got back into this and have more than several TTM's out, some of which others have gotten back in much shorter time and I still don't have response. So, I will be sending the following, 'safer' TTM's out today to build confidence:

Juan Samuel
Jim Eisenriech
Lee Smith
Jack McDowell
Gary Gaetti
Greg Gagne
Al MacInnis
Kent Hull

Any advice or hopes you guys can pass along would be great! Thanks.

Hope? I gave that up for lent.

Anyway keep your eye on the TTMM successes to see who is sending stuff back signed.

Check put Pete's Phillies thread lot of info in there.

Goodluck

Stick with it. I had 20-25 requests out but went almost a month with only one return. Then a couple days ago a few started trickling in. Maybe it was something with the all-star break and players are just starting to get back to going through their mail. I don't know but I'll keep sending them out and hope they keep coming in.

Stick with it. I have over 100 TTM's that have been out over 6 months but you never know. Lee Smith I sent out on 10/12/08 and nothing has come back yet (and I don't think anything is coming back!). What I have found in my case is that after 8 months, your chances of something coming back are very slim. I did get one back after 10 months. It was Patrick Roy and he sent a note apologizing for taking so long.

i think i have that same problem with my mailman

I have about a thousand out right now dating back 2 years (I doubt I'm gonna see them).
You never know when or where a success will come.

It's not your mailman. It's a federal offense for USPS workers to steal mail. I thought that too a while back when I had a few out there from guys who are quick returns and I didn't get any responses for like 2 weeks from anyone. Not all of these players send their mail back daily, or they misplace some (which a few players sent notes about apologizing).

A lot of things are illegal but people still do it. i know of a few people getting fired for doing that, one of my friends works at the post office, people sorting mail will see "please do not bend" on envelopes and will bend them on purpose. it is illegal, but it does happen, people steal or "lose" checks that are sent TTM.
