Autograph Experiment Open to all!
I've always wanted to do this, all are welcome to participate:
1. Choose a MLB player that you have a "common" card of. (IE one you wouldn't mind losing if it came to that)
2. Send the card along with an autograph request to the player c/o their team address.
3. Sit back and see whose autos come back first.
Let's all post who we will be sending to and the card we will be sending here. Let's try and send to different players. Also: Do not send your request until May 1, 2004 for the sake of our experiment.
I'll start the posting:
Sending:
2004 Cracker Jack to Esteban Loaiza of the White Sox
Go ahead and start the posting and when yo get your card back post when and what you got back. Comments on autograph quality would be cool too. Good Luck to all!

I have recieved autos of all of those people through the mail. If any new TTMers have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Remember, just because they signed for me doesn't mean they'll sign for you. And for the experiment, I'd be happy to try. I'll send out 10 on May 1st. Good idea. Good luck everyone, and dont forget to send your SASEs!!
