Have you started thinking about your Spring Training TTMs?

[alifaxwa2]

I typically send a dozen or so out each spring. This will be my second year sending out a small quantity of baseballs.
Recieved last year:
Mariano Rivera
Ryan Zimmerman
Andrew McCutchen
Jim Leyland
Andy Van Slyke

Gotta decide what I want to do with the dozen balls I got for xmas. A few are already allocated for some retired guys that are decent TTM.

Have you started planning for your spring training TTMs?

I have a few players and coaches in mind, but I won't send until the end of March.

I've started sorting out who I want to send to during ST and have started writing my request notes.

My success rate from last year was pretty horrid! Makes me not want to think about this year...... :?

Same here, looking at my sig below you can see last spring training was terrible for me. Pretty frustrating considering I only sent to reliable ttm guys and hoped to knock out a good chunk of the sets im currently working on. This year I think im going to really cut back on the amount of requests I send out during spring.

Good luck!

Thanks....It seems like he is most likely to sign a baseball, based on others' successes.

Baseballs or 8x10s seem to almost always work. It seems there are very few successes with cards.

How do you do ttm with baseballs? I got a dozen OMLB baseballs for Christmas and would love to get his auto.

I have 44 addressed and ready to send. They will go out in a couple of weeks. If I get 50% back on this batch I'll be satisfied, as many I'm sending to are players I've been unsuccessful with previously.

I've thought about sending a ball to Josh Hamilton for a signature. Good idea/risk, or not?

He signed most of the requests that were sent c/o the team, last season. I think it would be worth a shot.
