no problem. Now, to answer the question you post

unless you are doing it for yourself, I honestly dont see a purpose to doing so- there are so many free sites with tons of addresses, and a bunch of pay sites with even more addresses, that unless you have access to addresses that no one else has, you are trying to compete with a lot of existing sites and products that work. for instance, we have over 3000 addresses in our database here- how long is it going to take you to get more than that, and will that be able to compete with the ones out there that have 50,000 or more addys

I think the only way it would sell is if you do an all mets address book.

I was thinking an all Phillies book.

What sites have over 50,000 addys? I would love to find that site!


BTW, mmalpedo, I would love to be involved with your Phils project. Im sure that other people would like to contribute as well


aka druce, slitz, and others on my Phils thread.

fanmail.biz among others- granted they arent all athletes, and all the addresses may not work, but thats a pretty extensive database to try and compete with

[C&C Collecting]

Not to mention Jack Smalling's book and Harvey Meiselman's lists. These guys have been around the block and make their living at updating addresses. I don't think you will be very successful in the market between the websites and these guys who have the trust of collectors. Sorry that I only have bad news for you. Good luck and welcome to the site.
