Do you like it when players personalize your stuff?

I typically do. The only time that I mind it is if the personalization detracts from the overall apperance of the card. That doesn't happen that often. I like the fact that the player has taken the time to at least read enough of my letter to find out my name or my son's name.

It really depends on the situation. Since all my returns are for my personal collection, I don't mind receiving a card personalized, and I appreciate that the player took the time to read my letter or at least look at the name on the return envelope. However, I think the some personalizations tend to make the card too 'busy,' and less visually appealing.

if it is my favorite player i do not mind since i have 2 mcgwire balls that are personalized. But besides him, its just a preference, that i would rather not have the autographed personalized.

Most of my autos are not personalized but I am not opposed to having one unless it is a bat, jersey, or stick.
I don't like the personalizations, because in-person, it only implies the athlete is thinking the autograph I'm getting is not for myself and somehow I have an ulterior motive in getting the autograph.
Despite how I feel, I'll gladly volunteer my name to get someone's autograph in-person. The athlete may not care one way or the other whether I not I get his autograph, but I figure it isn't the end the world.
Out of the autographs might get - I'll have a few items to show off as being signed to and for me, even though the personalization was merely done so I can't do anything with the item.

I like it because it is for my collection and not for resale.

Here is an item I picked up that is personalized.. too bad it's not to me.. it's to Ted Buhner (Jay's Brother)..
He was at a game and Griffey hit a line drive foul ball and Ted caught it and in the process hurt his hand..

Although I have yet to get a TTM/IP auto, I would actually prefer to have the item personalized if it's bigger. With a card there's just not much room, but if it's an 8x10 or a ball I'd strongly prefer to have it signed to me personally.

For me, it really depends on the player or the item being signed. If its an IC or a photo its fine for me if its the only way I can get the autograph, but definitely not cards or balls. The only baseball I have personalized to me is a Mickey Mantle.

It depends on what it is for me as well. If it is a card for a set I'm trying to get autographed I would prefer getting it without any personalization, other things I don't care if they are or not.

It really doesn't matter to me. I have several items in my PC that are personalized to other people. I ended up getting these super cheap because people are opposed to them. Some of the inscriptions I've gotten are just awesome. My favorite ever, Dave Duncan (author):
