I've written many times in the past, but this is the first time I've done it in a few years. As a Yankee fan, I don't expect high returns, but I always got at least a 25% return rate... even in the 90s when they were winning the WS every year. And bear in mind, I'm not writing to the big stars like Jeter and AROD and CC. I won't waste my time with that.  I write to the pitchers, utility guys... guys where I think I have a prayer of getting a return.  Unless I get pleasantly surprised in the next few days, this may have been my last ST hurrah.

I even wrote some crappy players from other teams besides the Yankees to try and get a response.  nothing.  I tried to time it just right to be there at the start but maybe I was a week late.

I dropped my stuff in the mail the day before pitchers and catchers reported. It was there right at the beginning.

I got a nice haul of sigs today in the mail. First, I got  2 of 3 from Greg Kelser. He kept the 3rd card, but at least he signed in Sharpie this time! I also got some sweet signed trading cards from, author, Lisa Hendrix. All I had to do was send her a SASE!  Ray Evernham signed 5 of 5 for me and, finally, Basketball Hall of Famer, Carol Blazejowski signed my '94 Flair Team USA card!

Nice Going Russ!  Your Killing it as usual.  Nothing this week for me so far but I reached out a bit and took some chances on people I didnt expect to get back. That way I could at least say I tried.

@Russ...I really hope you take care of your mail career during the holiday with that bag of TTMS they drop off everyday...LOL...Love seeing your success bro...it really makes me feel good to know that a true collector can crush it weekly...

@Jeff thanks for that info...I will be shooting many many things to that show to be shipped back...there are some really great prices...thanks so much for that...

@Zipper and Dave...yeah guys the ST TTM's has only got me one back...I only sent about 9 or 10...some guys did get Rivera...I actually both one at auction of a guy because I just wanted it for my PC and it came with the envelope so that was pretty cool...I have seen them trickle in...but like Zipp mentioned...it was amazing 10 or so years ago what the spring training returns would bring in...nothing like that at all now a days....it was really ALMOST automatic because some guys only sign TTM's during spring training...but that sure has changed...
