Stamps on RTS envelopes

[Riggs]

Riggs, glad to see that you freely criticize me for just trying to get autographs and for not saying thank you, but you think nothing of defrauding the US Government.

lol really...

Defrauding the Government?? Kind of a reach there dont you think. Re-useing a stamp that has never seen the lite of day is defrauding the government? I payed for the stamp, Stamp was never used ( still inside my envelope to the athlete on my SASE) & its considered defrauding? Im not sure how the US Postal system feels about this & dont feel like researching it either. You can do that..

As for me criticizeing you, I'll be honest with you.. I feel we have a great community here in our TTM section. You could ask for addresses & advice all day long, I could careless, Thats why we are here but when you have the time to post but cant seem to take the 5 seconds to come back & say " Thanks"! Why would anyone want to help you?

When you spend another 5 seconds starting a thread about getting an autograph from a player accross the street & then nothing...... Not an update, Not anything.. You cant get back on & share a technique you used? Or say " Decided to give him his privacy instead" Nothing!

I havent drank any Hateraide with you but, its hard to be nice & just sit back when someone like yourself comes in here & does stuff like this. As many post as you make, Its easy to tell you enjoy being a part of it & thats great, but alittle forum courtesy will get you along way in my book..

wow, so it is against the law...seems a little drastic to me, but i guess i can understand...i mean, you are "stealing", what is it down there, .44 cents from the government lol

Yeah, but then again if people make it a normal thing it could be much more than the 44 cents, but yeah it is a little drastic if they nailed someone for doing it once.

this on the other hand is not illegal

maybe i should have been alittle more clear in my initial post.

Only stamps i re-use are the ones that come in my RTS envelopes. Envelopes thats where NOT opened by the athletes & still have my SASE inside them, never touched by the P.O. or anyone, other then myself.

wasnt asking about re-useing stamps that where not canceled, but still delivered.

my bad..

It's all good. I wasn't exactly sure what you had meant. I usually just leave the unused stamps from my returned SASEs on them and just reuse the entire SASE for my next TTM request.

see i thought about this but, i like to keep my return envelopes ( not sure why) with the players name & address i used.

so do you use the SASE for the same player, or send it off to a different player?

When i write out my SASE i put the players last name & address in the return address portion of my SASE.

for example, If you got back a RTS from say, Sandy Koufax, would you then re-use your SASE & throw that envelope into another envelope addressed to Joe Dumars?

I have thought about this but always wondered what the athlete might think if he saw " Koufax, xxxx address " on an return envelope.

i dont put any return address on my SASE's, just my address...so my SASE's are interchangeable so to speak

yes this was unclear, I read the "cutting off" part and assumed you would reuse the outer stamp. Sorry for jumping on you.

I solve this problem by using my address as the mailing address AND the return address on my SASEs. Therefore all my SASEs are the same, so I just take it out of the RTS envelope and put it in my next request.
