TTM Home Field Advantage

Bill Mazeroski will only sign TTM for people from Pittsburgh metro, or some county in PA, correct?

Robin Yount will only sign TTM for people postmarked from Wisconsin? Does Yount open the mail first and then decide, or does he RTS everything outside a certain area like Maz does?

Are there other cases like this among Hall of Famers?

If anyone can shed light on any of this I think it would be interesting as well as helpful.

I think Maz is signings only. Last success was in January 2013 and it was sent from a member of the military.

Not sure on Yount. I've seen some successes mixed in with several RTS.

Yount signed a few years back for me via ST even though I live in Ohio. Thanks for the tip on Maz. I might try to use a family members address who lives in PA as I do not have him in my collection.

I know that Maz has a private signing coming up after the start of the season in April. It's only limited to 100 items and I don't know how many slots have been filled at the moment.

I might try the same style of gamesmanship as you. For what it's worth, I sent a ROMLB postmarked from Cincinnati to Maz just recently and it didn't work. I tried having some "fun" with it since I know Maz can be difficult based on the TTM Manager reports. The gamesmanship I tried on this first attempt was to decorate the bubble mailer with Pirates stickers. Maz RTS'd it anyway.

He does a number of private signings each year from what I can see.
