Is anyone else seeing slower returns this year than past years? Maybe I just picked tougher players to get TTM this year but so far I have only gotten 2 responses from my spring training attempts this year. I counted I had sent off 60 this year, some to players I have had success with before and so far it has been kind of depressing.

I have about the same feeling. I am at 7/35 though. I sent to mostly young players or ones with high success rates so I had higher expectations to this point.

Hopefully I get some more returns coming in this week. I recounted and I sent out 59 this year so as of now I am sitting 2/59. This is really going to kill my overall success percentage. I know some were long shots but took the chance. A few were players I had success from in the past, but some of those past successes took 9+ months before I received the response so there is still hope those will come back by next spring training.

Haha thanks man. Hopefully more come in today.

Took a chance and sent to Cruz, Sugura, and Gallardo too from the Mariners (along with Danny Valencia) , my thought being the latter threeare new to the team and might be more accommodating to fans? TRNDLabs BEAM 2500 Powerbank

At this point, I've learned to never think too hard about this sort of stuff. It seems everyone and their mother has gotten a return from Joe Panik. After three attempts, I have nothing so far. Meanwhile, Gregory Polanco appears to sign for nobody, yet he returned my card signed last year. Just have to send to the guys you hope to get sigs from and hope for the best!

And congrats on the Cishek! The signature looks really good on that card!
