    Forwarding

    Is it too late to send to players c/o their teams? Do teams forward mail to the players/managers homes?

    What's the verdict on teams still going? I was eying up a possible request to Mariano Rivera.

    Mariano's still signing he signed for me about 3 days ago. The request took a little over a week. Signed an 8x10 and a world series highlights card for me.

    The trick there seems to be to go 'big'.
    I currently have a card TTM in a business size envelope sent and waiting for around 3-4 wks.
    Large items tend to get grabbed first and/or put directly into the players locker (according to MN Twin Pat Neshek).
    Best wishes on your TTM!

    I will always tell you that the more you envelope stands out the better shot you have to get your request signed. Original art, color, different ink or anything that will catch someones eye will help get your envelope noticed. I knew a guy who used to do Yankees and always did a players uniform number in glue on the outside of his envelopes then sprinkled blue glittler on it. He had gotten some guys that I never had luck with, but I guess his envelopes caught someones eyes!

    Come on i been doing TTM since the late 60 till now

    Plain white and plain white works the best i lost count how many i got back over the years doing it this way right now got over 200 out all plain white and 20 pucks going out next week bubble mailer check my results over the winter

    I have never had any mail forward and never put glitter or that other stuff on any envloped Ithink the guy says he got a auto but never got one just saying so that goes on a lot if you watch threads you can pick the guys out plain as day

    another thing that goes on a lot is a guy writes he needs a Auto for a charity auction and gets one but you check a most of the time never used for a auction i can't stand these guys their low lifes and wreak it for people that really need a item

    if you go to other sites and check results you see what really happening all the time
    who signing and who does not sign no matter what you do with your envloped

    Thumbs up

    i do have to agree with deeakay the Bigger the Better i sent out 10 8x10 bubble mailers with 6x9 bubble mailers as the return envelope and 10 plan white envelopes so far im 5/10 on the big bubble mailers and im 1/10 on the plan white envelopes so i do have to agree the bigger the better i think the bubble mailers do directly in the players locker as its to big to stick with the smaller envelopes somewhere else. just my 2 cents
