Through the Mail (TTM) autograph collecting was huge in the '80s up until a couple of years ago.
Hundreds of current Major Leaguers and most Minor Leaguers would sign for free via the stadium.
I collected TTM from 1985 up until 2006, when I got frustrated with the lack of responses.
And nowadays, you hardly ever hear or read of many successes.
On the TTM board here at FCB, the April success thread only has a few successes, and most are celebrities or retired players.
So my question is, have current players stopped signing through the mail, because of eBay and because companies pay them to sign?
Or is TTM just not popular anymore?
