Wow, Russ...that is unreal. You know what, I've been seeing 4 figure response days from Jim Harbaugh a lot lately, and I think I know why. The NCAA has become such rule Nazis over the past 25 years or so, that I think college coaches are afraid to write back to their fans. Remember your Mark Richt experience? I wrote him a few weeks back, and put in my letter that the photo I requested an autograph on was going in my man cave, and would not be used as a recruiting gift. I have yet to get a response. You think maybe Harbaugh hoarded away these fan letters and autograph requests and is just now responding to them, fearing that he would put the fine program he built at Stanford in jeopardy by signing autographs that could be sold or used as gifts? Just a thought.

It seems I have done better this year then last personally...I sent out only a total of 77 and got back 55 in 2012 which is a pretty good ratio...but last year I did much worse for sure and have still 62 pending...and only receiving about 50 or so...

Ended the mail week better than it started. Saturday, I got 2 of 1 from Dusty Ryan for my Toledo Mud Hens PC.

I had a huge end to 2011 going into 2012. I have noticed that my ttms have really dropped off diring the last couple of weeks. I suppose it's because of people going on vacationsa and such. I'm with you Jeffery. I really don't write to current players anymore either. Last football season, I wrote to a bunch of rookies and second year players. I didn't get nothing back from any of them. Baseball hasn't been much better to me either. Not one success from spring traing and only one success from the current players I have written to so far. Danny Worth.

Hey, want to see what you guys think about something. I usually wait about 1 month after a particular sports season is over before I write to a former athlete of that sport (I've just given up on current players). Been doing football for a while, and now about to start with hockey. Though there is still 6 more months in the year left, my success percentage this year has been way down since I've been tracking my requests (2010 - 66%, 2011 - 74%, 2012 - 45%.) Has anyone else experienced a huge drop off this year?

Extremely slow mailweek this week. The only ttms that I received was the Franki Valli cards signed on the back and a sweet Danny Worth signed card for my Toledo Mudhens pc. I did get something last Friday, but I was off to M.I.S. for race weekend and didn't have a cjance to post it. I got 2 of 2 from Greg Bingham.
