So I just bought some packs of Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects and was wondering:
1.) How do you guys prep these cards for signing and do you only prep the chromes or all of them?

AND

2.) If anybody knows of my chances of success sending out TTM to these players?: (Sorry there are so many...I looked through the TTMM and only found a few players with more recent successes recorded)

Cameron Maybin
Tim Wood
Daniel Mahoney
Joe Mather
Chase Austin
Andy LaRoche
Josh Reddick
Cory Luebke
Brandon Morrow
Phil Hughes
Jay Bruce
Robinzon Diaz
Henry Rodriguez
Clay Buchholz
Freddie Freeman
Eric Sogard
Juan Francisco
Fu-Te Ni
Chris Tillman
Fernando Martinez
Phillippe Aumont
Jaff Decker
Ryan Perry
Ryan Sadowski
David Hale
Robert Stock
Charlie Morton
Tommy Hanson

Thanks a ton.

I don't know much about prepping the cards, but I have gotten a few returns from the guys you listed: Henry Rodriguez and Fu-Te Ni. I'm waiting on Maybin, Bruce, Tillman, Aumont and Hanson. You've got a good list of young players there.

i just lightly coat the card and rub it with baby powder before sending it off, so the autograph sticks better. I've tried this with chrome cards as well and it seems to work just as wells

Indian71 said but also if you dont like doing that if you use a while eraser that can also be good just you have to rub every well to get it to work.

just make sure you rub lightly
with the eraser, dont need you messing up your card now do we?

I went the baby powder route. I sent some off today so I guess I'll see if I did it right.

I noticed that you seem to be fairly new to the site. I did want to suggest that you look at the signing history that other members of the autograph community here at SCF have logged into the TTM Database (TTMM.) You can follow the link in my signature. Click player list on the left side menu box and then click baseball at the top tab. You will see them listed. Click on a player name and you will see the success rate. It is free for all scf members and you can track your sent and recieved items as well.
