Never done TTM!

[Coburn430]

Hi all, never done TTM before so want to make sure I'm doing it right before sending. Any advice would be much appreciated. Im wondering what the fees are to get a baseball signed by these players? I dont know if theres a difference in fee for cards compared to baseballs.

Wade Boggs
Mike Mussina
Goose Gossage
Dwight Gooden
Sparky Lyle

Also, wondering if theres a fee to get Kurt Angle on an Action Figure.

Thank you all!

I've never done TTM either but yes the players charge more for things like baseballs. Check out the TTM manager at the top of the page to assist you in finding what you need or maybe somebody who actually does TTM can answer your questions with experience on the matter.

Type in Sparky Lyle, choose baseball, and you will get the following list when you hit search.

You just need to read, and you will see that he had all the old addresses where he lived and that he only charged $5. Looks like he charges $15 currently, so you need to make sure you send the correct amount on each athlete.

What other help do you need? As a SASE is pretty easy, just need to make sure the postage is correct.
Some folks send in a bubble mailer to protect a more valuable item, etc. If you browse the TTM forums, you will see helpful posts on sending specific instructions on all kinds of things.
1) Sneidng the marker or whatever if you want a specific color.
2) Closing off the area so the athlete knows where to sign, etc.
3) Make sure you have the correct postage on the package you want returned.
and the list goes on and on.

Thank you for this. My main question is because almost everything posted in those forums are cards. Trying to find the prices for having baseballs signed. Any insight?

I would assume the same price for the item's signing. You're just going to pay a lot more to ship and ship back in the already addressed mailer or box for the athlete. You have the address, so why not answer the question for the athlete if you have any? If he charges more for a ball, flat item, jersey, etc. That's just keeping things simple, as you know, the address that works. Drop them a nice letter with your questions about getting a particular item signed.
