2014 Spring Training success thread!

[RealBrianD]

haha yeah its definitely a ton a balls to send out. It takes 12 stamps for each ball total, so im really hoping it was worth it. im gonna feel pretty foolish if I wasted 200 stamps! But I think ill do ok honestly. I took a few chances (Trout, Buxton, Taillon etc) but nothing to crazy. I still have like 45 baseballs stockpiled, so if I don't get them back, it didn't cripple me for collecting. Ill just be disappointed about the loss of stamps/money...But whats life without taking a little risk right?

Brett won't sign TTM. He used to, for a fee, but then with the ghost-signer accusations and threat of litigation, he stopped signing.

Koufax is great IP...

Thanks for the feedback. I will take those big risks from time to time though as you never know. There was a point where I would say Pete Rose or Jerry Rice would never sign TTM and then there was a window where they did. Someone has to take a shot to ever find out. There are a good number of long shots on my list. I add in some good signers so I do not go without and hope a few hard to gets come through. I even considered trying Jeter as it is his last season.

IMPORTANT BRAVES ST INFORMATION:
I found the 2013 Media Guide online and this was what was listed under 2013 Spring Training Information:

Office Headquarters
Champion Stadium
700 Victory Way
Kissimmee, FL 34747

Mailing Address
P.O. Box 470517
Celebration, FL 34747

This explains why so much mail being sent down there is being marked as return to sender.
