It has been a little over a month now since seriously starting my TTM requests. In that time, I have sent almost 120 requests.
- most were cards, but I did send some photos my wife took at spring training to be signed as well.
- my focus is definitely on active players, but I have sent to some coaches and retired players (former Brewers).
- my main team collection is the Brewers, but I have sent out almost 2/3 of my major league requests to other teams.
- I don't have a single set focus like A&G or Heritage (though I do think signed 09 SP Authentic cards look nice personally), but generally prefer action shots.
- I use Staedtler erasers to prep most of my cards as I've found that even the base Topps are sometimes too glossy.
- most of them have been scanned into picasa (link in my sig) if you want to see them.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my successes as a resource for others who were wondering about the signing habits of current players.
So, far I have received:
major leagues - 10/89 (11%)
Logan Morrison - 2/2 - 9 days
Nyjer Morgan - 2/2 - 11 days
Mark Buehrle - 1/1 - 13 days

Dale Sveum - 3/3 - 15 days
