How many ST requests have you sent out this year?

[cwells46]

I sent another 18 off over the weekend.

I was thinking about sending off to a few of the Reds players, but I am not sure. If I got them out today, they should get there in plenty of time, right?

Yes, there should be PLENTY of time on it. I think you have another 2 weeks or so. But, if it's worrying you, I am sure you can just send them during the season.

I was going to send to Taillon, but seeing as though I have only 1 ST Success I am going to wait until the season starts.

Other things that have been rumored to work:
Rubbing your finger over the card. (I don't do that... it's kinda gross).
Using pantyhose (for reasons that are obvious, I don't use them)
Using some sort of eraser. IDK which kind it was (I don't because I want the gloss on the card.)

I did my own little experiment in the fall with a couple of 2009 Topps Chrome cards (posted somewhere in an old thread here), and by far the best method is baby powder. I found that rubbing the surface of the card without baby powder does little or nothing to help to autograph.

Back to OP, I've only sent one spring training TTM request, to Aaron Hill because I read in the newspaper in late January that he reported to the Jays' complex early to get in some extra work-outs.

Haven't gotten it back yet.

What's interesting is that some players do rub their fingers on the spot where they are going to auto :lol:

Baby powder by far is the best too. I can;t figure out why some TTMers are anti-powder?

[RNCoyote]

Sent out four and haven't gotten any of it back as of yet

 

[alifaxwa2]

I sent 1 this year and got it back on Saturday.
Bryce Harper signed my baseball!

 

[TBTwinsFan]

It's safe to say, with only 2 successes, (one of which is Neshek), that unless I get some serious mail back, I am retiring from the ST game. I know some send back WAAAAY late in the season... Neil Walker did that for me last year.

I am using the rest of my stamps for UFC and Non-Sport, but I plan on getting ready for sending some season requests out to MiLB and to

Chone Figgins
Justin Masterson.
