It seems as though we should just agree to disagree. If you don't like how I collect or how I obtain a signature, that's fine, but don't come in here and get on a soap box and start barking about what constitutes a ttm success. As I stated before, this group has had plenty of posts, some of which talked of Listia wins, and there has never been a problem from anyone until you came along.

 Here's a quick question: If I write to a ball player and he sends my item back UNSIGNED with a PRICE LIST, but I decide that I will shell out the money that he wants along with my sase, does that make it a SUCCESSFUL ttm or do I just have "deep pockets" for shelling out the money to acquire the autograph that I want? Because, to me, I would call it a ttm success as I wrote a letter to said ball player, I enclosed an item to be signed and a sase. The only extra that I added was a check or money order for that player's signature. But according to your standards of what a ttm success is, the minute that I sent some sort of compenstaion to the player, it stopped being a ttm request, right?

agree to disagree is fine with me...

 

its not being on a soap box its just pure unfiltered facts...keep posting your lista wins...I dont care...you bought them so show it off...I got a good Idea...how about you start a thread of ttm autos you purchased that were auction purchased...I will blow your page up all week with winning auctions that were shipped to me...as a matter of fact if you don't do it I will and we can go from there....fair enough ?...a FREE autograph to me is a succesfull ttm...for the price of the stamp and envelope of course...if they charge...hey at least you know your getting an authentic item directly from the source for far less then a autograph seller would... and not something signed by there wife or a possible forgery at auction...

First off, Listia auctions are free. I have never sent a single dime for a Listia win. That is an "unfiltered fact"! And according to you, "a FREE autograph to me is a succesfull ttm...for the price of the stamp and envelope" I guess then you wouldn't consider an e-mail request a ttm success as you didn't pay for a stamp or envelope. Also, you didn't answer my question about sending money to a player. All you said was that "at least you know your getting an authentic item directly from the source for far less then a autograph seller would." In your terms, that wouldn't be a ttm success because you paid money for the autograph! Also, just because they will tell you that they will sign it for x amount of dollars, how do you know they really did? You don't think that I have done this long enough to know what a forgery, secretarial, or an autopen looks like? Why don't you go ahead and start your little auction page? It seems to me like you want to brag about all of the auctions you win and drop names of the dealers that you buy from anyway. Sounds to me like you're the one with "deep pockets", "buddy".

I was looking at my list that I keep for when I send TTM. I have quite a few that are 1 year or longer without a reply. I usually send a letter, SASE, and photo. When do you give up on actually getting a reply from a celeb? lol

Hey Mark...Patients is virtue in this TTM celebrity waiting game...I have had successful returns in less then a weeks time...to sometimes a month or 2...even as long as a year....the longest one I ever got back was Cecil Fielder which took up until ruffly THREE YEARS...I feel the best thing to do is send out an extremely high number of requests out and play the perecentages...if you send out 40 to 50 request your probably get back 10 to 15 quickly...the rest may take longer or you may never even get an answer...the past 6 weeks I sent out ruffly 40 request and already received 1 request for money and 9 back signed...the rest who knows...here's the break down  its either...

SIGNED

UNSIGNED

A MONEY REQUEST

A FACSIMILE /AUTO PEN/ STAMPED AUTO

A SECRITERIAL AUTO or SIGNED BY ANOTHER HAND

THERE ITEM SIGNED AT A DIFFERENT TIME WITH YOUR ITEM UNSIGNED 

OR NO ANSWER AT ALL

Its all about sending as many as you can and waiting it out....its nice to get an auto mixed in with the bills...its very rewarding when your successful...

Today's mail brought autographs of "The Pope" DeAngelo Dinero, Mickie James, and Jeremy Borash! Thanks to, my good friend and fellow Autograph Live member, Jeffery Kite for helping out with these! You're the man!
