Returning to TTM...kinda

[Mahoney1313]

Okay so I did some TTM last year, I got Pat Neshek and that was all. Which is almost a 100% guarantee. But this offseason Im really gonna go for it. I guess I am asking for tips and tricks for offseason. But also I am curious on during the offseason where I should send cards. Try and find a personal address or send to team stadium! Thank you guys and I am so excited to get into this amazing hobby.

I would send them to the stadium since they will show up now and then for OTAs.

Sending to current players and managers via stadium addresses is a low percentage play IMO, and especially so during the offseason. Identify some retired players that you like and see what kind of success rate TTMers have documented in the Mail Manager. Send to those with high success rates. Keep in mind that some signers require a small donation.

As Calleyoop stated the best bet is to look at TTM Manager and look at the success rate of our members at the addresses posted
Good luck

The TTM manager on this site is excellent. Check there before you send any out. If you don't see someone, ask around. But the TTM will give you great information.

Hello fellow mahoney!
My son (7) and I recently started doing ttm and its has been a blast. My biggest suggestion would be to find a specific route you want your collection to go. The hobby can get very addicting and expensive. You can accumulate and get overwhelmed easily. We have chosen to go strictly with cubs and the occasional big names player. Shoot me a pm if you have any questions or need advice!

Good luck

I bought a book fot $40. I compare to addresses here and then I send. I prefer sending to their homes. The stadium address is public. That being said some guys dont sign at home address. Thats were the ttm manger is really helpful.

How accurate is this book vs what we provide on the TTM?

There are two books, Harvey Meiselman's and Smalling's, they sell them once a year and then update multiple times a year for additional fees. They have been around for many years, and are pretty accurate. Many of the addresses in the TTMM come from those books as well, if people want to share them
