Great feature of the site for sure - something that we can probably all benefit from at some point. Seems like there's a lot of retired players signing for fans TTM during the pandemic. Great way to add to your collection.

I do my own fair share of TTM requests.... mostly players you've never heard of, lol.

One thing I will mention: In some of the autograph groups I'm in, SCF's TTM is often mentioned. There's people that come to SCF just for the TTM manager, and don't use the forums.

If this kind of collecting is of interest to you, it's a great resource.

Just out of curiousity, is anybody sending to current players c/o their team address during the pandemic? Any results?

I think it the 2nd biggest hit for traffic TTM (Thru the mail) the number one being sport card forum (go figure). I think the Ttm is about 30 percent of the site traffic.

Thanks guys, glad you checked out my video!

I haven't mailed via any teams at all in any sport since the pandemic started-- just home addresses and a few business addresses. Even during normal times, my mailing via teams has been very limited. Unfortunately, active players don't sign like they used to. When I first dabbled in TTMing (20+ years ago now!), I managed to get Joe Thornton, Guy Lafleur, Maurice and Henri Richard, Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Ron Francis, Brett Hull, Pavel Bure, and Alexander Mogilny all back, and all sent via teams. Currently, good luck on getting names of any sort of stature back. Paul Stastny in the 2018-19 season was the only one I've tried besides a few coaches and front office types. Trying and failing on cards of Mason Raymond and Alex Tanguay, and on large photos to half the Florida Panthers from 2014-2017 really soured me on mailing via teams unless I'm really certain a guy will sign.

Hockey players have earned the title of the best signers in the four major sports, but they've been falling off a lot over the last decade or two. They're #3 on my list behind 80s and 90s indoor soccer players and any era of Nascar drivers.

I have enough stamps right now to go cranking out a good 50-70 requests. I'll probably put a few hockey ones in there.
