I love to send to addresses others have had success with but will try untested addresses as well. I will never know who signs and who does not unless I try.

I do the same only issue is I have trouble finding work addresses for people I would want TTM lol

I use tested addresses. Although, they don't always work. I got my first TTM failure back today. Monte Irvin RTS.

I use Startiger. It seems that just about every athlete and entertainer you could imagine has an address in their database. I've found that most TTM'ers will have a home address or PO box and when members from the site receive something back from a particular address it's marked as a success. The more successes the better the odds.

A good rule of thumb for using Startiger is that if an athlete or celebrity only has an address that's linked to a management company, movie studio, or c/o a team address it's probably best not to send anything as a TTM isn't likely.

1st RTS that ain't bad at all I can get 2-3 a day!

No, it isn't.

I don't send cards or pics though, only baseballs. I've been doing this for 3 years (took a break from 2010 until just last month) and I've only sent out 12 total TTM requests.

The RTS from Monte Irvin was a complete surprise as people were having successes with the address I used just last month.

It's not a complete loss though, I got my baseball and my $20 signing fee back. Now I can use that to send a TTM to someone else.

You got lucky!

It kind of depends for me. I will always use a tried and true address before I use one that is a complete mystery. However, I have started writing to some of our country's most notable, yet not always super famous, citizens and have to try out an address that I dig up and find on my own. Depends on how much I want to correspond with that person.
