It's about that time again. Good luck to everyone!

It's been a few years since I've sent a lot out for ST, but I'll try a few this year.

So far the list starts and ends with Don Mattingly and Ron Guidry. I imagine I'll add another few names.

The past couple years I had been pretty aggressive with sending stuff out. Aiming on limiting myself to 50 tops.

last year i got 46 of 105 spring training requests back successfully

quite a lot went to guys with no track record

not sure i am sending any out this year, as we are about to move

Love seeing this thread up for another year of ST TTM. I have already started getting mine together and have about a dozen ready to go.

I am sitting at 34/88 for last year currently. I am also cutting back this year to about 50.

Planning to try and attend 2 games in the Phoenix/Mesa area so really hoping for some IP autos.

Finally, don't forget that stamp prices increase later this month. Get your stamps now if you plan on sending a lot for ST.

Gearing up to send out ~30 this year, all from 2018 Heritage High #. I'll take a couple shots at big names, too, but not expecting much. Spring training isn't what it used to be, sadly.

I'm thinking about jumping back in this spring and sending some requests. The last spring I sent was great getting back Mariano and McGwire, gonna have to do some research and see who signs nowadays.

It's pretty bad now. No stars really sign TTM even during ST anymore. I started in 2005 and I got a lot of big guys back, but a few years later it started to dry up, and now your best bet is to try and send to younger guys. Even 3-4 years ago you might have one or two surprises (like Adrian Beltre signing briefly), but I really don't hear about that at all now.

Just an FYI for people- The Braves DO NOT get mail at Disney. Don't even bother.

Do you think its that time to send out the cards to the players from the 2018 Bowman Draft set or is there time to send it to their homes?

I would say you are dangerously close to reporting times for Spring Training. In my opinion I would just wait and send them to ST.
