I have been on here for a few years, but havent used the forum much, I am VERY into through the mail autographs

I started collecting cards back in 1974 at age 8 when my grandfathers neighbor (Carmen Labotta) gave me a cigar box of 1973 and 1974 baseball cards. My grandfather was an usher and ticket taker at Cleveland Municipal Stadium and I got to go to as many games as I wanted to. I collected baseball, football and basketball through high school, worked at the local card shop, and was a dealer at card shows at age 16 as soon as i could drive, i even ran shows until i went to college.

I started doing through the mail autographs back in the 1980's and remember getting Koufax and many other old HOF guys, I quit for a long time but restarted back in 2013 or so...I have a few thousand successes and many thousand cards signed. I used Jack Smalling's autograph address book until I found this resource. I really like that the TTMM database is so useful and free and current.

I dont do a lot of trading, I prefer to get the autographs myself, I do purchase older cards in "lots" that are of any condition, to sort through and use for TTM sendings, if you have some old beat up cards laying around you dont want much for, I could be your guy!
