Does Miguel Cabrera Sign

[TonyV505]

I remember when I was last into this 3 years ago Miggy would sign if you sent him $10.

Is this still true?

Is there still success with him?

The program is called Autographs for a Cause. I pulled the following from their website:


"Autographs for a Cause

In an effort to support the metro-Detroit community, several Tigers players are partnering with the Detroit Tigers Foundation in a program called Autographs for a Cause. Through this program, players will sign baseball cards through the mail in exchange for a donation to the Detroit Tigers Foundation, the club's official charity. All of the funds collected through this program will be donated to charitable organizations supported by the players. At the end of the year, all of the money raised through the program will be matched by the players and donated to their charity of choice. Below are the participating players, required donations and benefiting charitable organizations / programs:


Alex Avila
$20 Baseball Card
Joaquin Benoit
$10 Baseball Card
Miguel Cabrera
$40 Baseball Card
Phil Coke
$10 Baseball Card
Prince Fielder
$40 Baseball Card
Torii Hunter
$30 Baseball Card
Austin Jackson
$20 Baseball Card
Victor Martinez
$30 Baseball Card
Jhonny Peralta
$10 Baseball Card
Rick Porcello
$10 Baseball Card
Max Scherzer
$10 Baseball Card

Fans that wish to participate in the Autographs for a Cause Program should send their baseball cards along with check or money order (made payable to the DETROIT TIGERS FOUNDATION), and self-addressed stamped envelope to the following address:

PLAYER NAME
Autographs for a Cause
Detroit Tigers Foundation
2100 Woodward Avenue
Detroit, MI 48201

Fans should keep in mind there is some risk involved in putting an item in the mail. Although reasonable precautions will be taken, the Detroit Tigers organization, its players, staff and Foundation are not responsible if an item is lost or damaged. Please allow a minimum of six to eight weeks for your item(s) to be signed and do not send items other than standard issue baseball cards, as they will be returned to you unsigned. In order to ensure proper handling of donations and baseball cards, please note items / donations for each player must be mailed individually and not with items / donations for other players. Furthermore, please note Money Orders with expiration dates of fewer than 90 days will be returned along with unsigned items.

Additionally, please note Autographs for a Cause is a seasonal program that concludes each year at the end of the Major League Baseball regular season. Items that arrive postmarked after September 1 will be returned unsigned as the roster of participating players, required donations and benefiting charitable organizations changes from season to season.

Thank you again for supporting the Detroit Tigers Foundation and our charitable programs!"

Personally, I believe that I did it two or three years ago, and had two successes with no issues. Good luck

Disappointing that it said only send baseball cards.... I wanted to send a MLB Ball to him and keep it for a long time

Try getting in touch with them and see if they can make an arrangement. I would love to get his sig on a triple crown photo but I may just wait until he gets inducted so I can get the HOF inscription, too.

Nothing but cards, don't even bother. Tigers have made it very clear that it is cards only for AFAC. They will send any other items back unsigned.

Correct. Only cards this season. A couple of seasons ago, it was $20/card and $40/8x10 photo. The season before that, it was $10/card and $20/8x10 photo. $40 to get a card signed by Miggy through the mail is still very much a bargain price to what he charges at his in-person signings which starts at $175 for flats and goes up from there.

I agree, I got him when he was $20 but would love to get him again even at $40 a card.
