I used to be a huge TTM (through the mail) autograph collector. Especially during the '80s, when a large percentage of players and Hall of Famers signed. I still write a few players every year, but hardly any players sign for free anymore.
Anyway, I noticed a lot of you player collectors and fans collect cards of guys, mainly retired players, who are known as good TTM signers.
How many of you have written a player who you collect and have gotten a reponse back?
It's awesome to receive an autograph in your mailbox of someone you admire.
These are the kinds of collectibles that mean the most to me, besides in-person autographs, of course.
The players I collect, except for Rickey Henderson, were great TTM signers.
My favorite current player, Andre Ethier, always signed TTM his first few years in the league and sent a short note back twice.
Same with Jeff Francis.
And Hall of Famer Charlie Gehringer was an awesome TTM signer, which encouraged me to collect his stuff.
I have several notes from him, pictures and he even sent me a signed baseball around 1988.
So what about your favorite players?
