Acarter13's Success Thread

[dsolzman]

Just a heads up, TLR requires a $50 donation to ARF for HOF inscription. Anything else and it's just the Tony LaRussa 10 signature. I had sent a check for $10 and after emailing back and forth with someone over at ARF, I donated the extra $40 online on Tuesday after I was told the photo was signed on Monday and I should be able to get a personalized inscription, too. Just a matter of when Tony comes into ARF. He tries to swing in for a few minutes every day. Given the holidays, I don't know if he made it in on Tuesday or not.

Billy Wagner 5/5 in 9 days, very happy with this return.



I'm thinking about sending to Jesse Orosco, but There isn't a recent success from him in the TTM database. Does anyone know if the new address that was put in for him(no attempts yet) has any reported successes from any other sites? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, I added the Orosco after seeing a success on another site. I just never sent a test letter myself. I had gotten him many years back on an 1985 Donruss card and it has wear and tear on the black boarder. I had thoughts of resending as he has the record for most games pitched in ever last I knew and as a member of the Mets someone I wanted in my collection. I may have to give him a shot myself. Currently I have been just getting stuff around for my ST mailers. Yeah, I am already trying to pick out the players who I will send out in Feb!

Pat Neshek 12/4 in 16 days, I sent him 4 cards to get signed and then a bunch more autographed minor league cards for him to keep. I knew he was a collector so I just sent some his way that I'm sure he didn't have. He sent me 8 extra signed!!!

So Spring Training is creeping up, and I still am not sure with exactly who I'm going to be sending to! Here's what I've got so far:

Jason Grilli- He went to the same highschool as I am attending now, so i'm asking if he could inscribe Go Bees!
Pat Corbin
Stephen Strasburg(Going to give him a try)
Jordan Zimmermann
MIke Zunino
Ben Zobrist
Adrian Beltre
David Robertson
Josh Hamilton
