Re: muskiesfan's TTM/e-mail success thread

I don't mean to throw a bunch of posts out, but I wanted to give more information. I'm Joe and Crystal is my wife. We've been meaning to start doing this for awhile now. The new year kicked off and we decided to hit the ground running.

We have sent out 85 TTM/e-mail requests so far this month. Only 2 back so far, but we're laying the groundwork for later this year. We figure that we'll probably start getting things rolling in the next month or two.

Most signers take an average of 1-2 months. So in a couple months your mailbox will be dripping with autos :shock:

Thanks for keeping us posted!

311

Autographed 12x12 signed by all 5 members of the band. P-Nut (from Indianapolis), the face is SA, Tim Mahoney (signed Tim backwards :lol: ), Chad Sexton, and Nick Hexum. The 12x12 looks like it could be the album artwork for their new album coming out 2 June 2011 called "Uplifter". They also included an "Uplifter" poster and two 311 "Evolver" stickers.

Ed Hochuli

Autographed and personalized 5x7. Mr. Hochuli is my favorite NFL referee (second would be #94 Mike Carey). He responded to my e-mail on 31 Jan 2011, saying that he appreciated us taking the time to write, that he would be more than happy to send us an autographed picture, and to enjoy the Super Bowl. He signed, "Joe & Crystal- All My Best-".

Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger

This one got bent in the mail. The envelope got dinged on the corner in transit and you can see how it affected the picture on the lower right. No big deal, still very happy to have it. My wife and I absolutely love the movie Rudy and it's very cool to have a picture and autograph from the real Rudy. He signed, "To Joe & Crystal". He also made a little smiley face in the "R" of Rudy.

Autographed and personalized 8x10. It's signed, "Yo Crystal and Joe!" and then under his signature he drew a little face. Very happy with this one, especially considering the mailman didn't ding it. :lol:

You've been busy, Joe! So many nice pickups. I can't believe the 311 success! Keep up that good luck, brother. Hope all is well with you two. Drop me a line any time.

What do you put in the emails when you send them??

muskiesfan · Feb 12, 2011

Re: muskiesfan's TTM/e-mail success thread; Updated 7 Feb

Shaun- What's up my brother?!?!?! Great to see you man. I'll shoot you a PM shortly.

Gonzaleznut- I write the e-mails the same way I would a TTM request. I put in why we are writing them, what we like about them, and if they would mind sending us a personalized autograph for our collection. Then we put our address at the end.

Broke the drought today. We received a very cool and unique autographed piece today.

Michelin Star Chef Thomas Keller

Thomas Keller is considered one of the Top 10 Chefs in the world. He has 3 Michelin Stars. He sent an autographed and personalized menu from his restaurant, The French Laundry. The menu is too big for the scanner, but I figured the autograph was the important part.

It says "Crystal and Joe, It's All About Finesse".

Ok...So how do you get the email addresses? Do you look for Fan Club sites or their own personal sites that they run?

Basically. I go to their sites and use the contact us link on the page. Some of them will have links to their management and I'll use those. I also use a website, fanmail.biz. It's free. They don't allow people to post e-mail addresses, but they'll generally tell you where to look to find the information.

Charlie Daniels

We're big fans of Charlie Daniels. Who doesn't love The Devil Went Down to Georgia? He signed, "To Joe and Crystal, God Bless". From the looks of it, I would say that he probably has a stack of pictures signed and that our names were added afterwards. Who cares though, it's sweet!

Re: muskiesfan's TTM/e-mail success thread; Updated 17 Feb

I have another success as well as an IP this time.

I met up with a fellow board member at a signing on Saturday, 19 Feb 2011. Met George McGinnis and got a couple of autographs.

Then another e-mail success
