    Today I got a couple of signed items from tennis champ Michael Chang and actor James Earl Jones. Jones has to be one of the best signers among all actors.
  • Gary Bernard

    Today was a nice mail day. Got the autographs of Pro Football Hall of Famer, Yale Lary, and former Georgia Tech and Philadelphia Eagles star linebacker, Maxie Baughan. Yale was one of the very best defensive backs of his day in the 1950's and 1960's, with 50 interceptions. Maxie was a 1959 All-American at Georgia Tech, was the MVP of the 1960 Gator Bowl, and helped the Eagles win the 1960 NFL Championship.

    Hello..been a long time since I wrote on here but I have a prob I hope maybe out there someone might have an address for.I met wrestling legend Ted Diabase ay WizardWorld last year ...at that time I had a nice convo with him and bought a signed book....normally I check these things right afterwards but there was surrounding con issues and didnt get to til about 3 days later...to find out I got the wrong book.I saw him sign but the books must have accidentally been switched??I looked at his website but not much help for us fans there(in my opinion).I also thought I heard he had surgery recently and thats what brought him back in my memory.Any body out there have a address that I could send my book n tell him the story.Thank you and this is a great site...this wall is always very informative.

    Hey Paul, I found a success in April of this year from his church: Heart of David Ministry, P.O.  Box 1291, Clinton, MS, 39060..........Looks like he will sign if you put a little money ($10) towards his ministry; but since you did buy a book already, he might give you a pass. And if you go to http://www.heartofdavidministry.com you might find where he might be appearing close to your area on his traveling personal appearance schedule. What exactly happened? Did you get a book inscribed to someone else other than you? I hope this helps you out. I should be charging you for this address because........"Every man has a price, baby! Ha ha ha!"
  • Robert Babb

    I believe their is a number on his website that you could call someone from his management about it?
  • Russ Robinson

  • Robert Babb

    I got a listia win of a autographed card of tj ford today ttm.
  • Jeffery Kite

    Yesterday brought me the autograph of Frank Ros, former linebacker and team captain for the 1980 University of Georgia National Championship football team.
  • Russ Robinson

    @ Eric. I have only written to England once ttm.  I have heard that you could send an International Reply Coupon along with your return, but a lot of post offices don't carry them. I. myself, just slipped 2 American dollars in at the time to cover return postge. You might need to make it 3 now, because the exchange rate for a buck isn't what it used to be. It worked for me, but I have only tried it once.
  • Jon Kellogg

    Remember that what it cost to send there, it will cost more to have it returned. An 8x10 with 1 picture I put in at least $5.  But american $ is really of no use to them if they don't travel. They can exchange it at a bank, but there are fees for that.

    Just remember to be nice, because they don't owe you a thing. We owe them for there time.

    Just my $.02

  • Robert Babb

    I got the dreaded return to sender from tim allen ttm today!  Hopefully i can get peter noones auto this weekend and the monkees next tuesday as well?

    I got a sweet reply from Denver Nuggets coach George Karl today! Some time ago, ESPN the magazine ran a story on the upcoming basketballseason and teamed up with Marvel comics to do comic covers for the different teams in the NBA. I sent Karl the Nuggets cover whick is titled "Exit Melo" and pictures Karl surrounded by a few players as they watch Carmelo Anthony leave. Its a real neat piece and I'm glad to add it to my collection! I wrote to George Karl c/o the Nuggets.
  • Jon Kellogg

    I'm hoping to send out a bunch to the set of Son's Of Anarchy tomorrow.

    And maybe a few BTS for Star Wars.

  • Lisa K

    Eric, at the suggestion of the Post Master at my post office, I put the same amount on the SASE as I do the envelope I'm sending it in. That way, if they send you something extra (I have had celebs send up to 3 photos) it will be sure to cover it and the celeb will not have to add extra postage. Hope that helps. Lisa
  • Lisa K

    @Eric. When sending to England, Canada or any other country, again they have me use  the same postage. Air mail stamps are often involved of course.

  • Russ Robinson

    No ttms, but I did get a neat autograph from Listia. I got a nice 1994 Signature Rookies card of Mike Darr. He was a good young player until he was killed in a drunk driving accident. Michael Curtis Darr (March 21, 1976 in Corona, California – February 15, 2002 in Peoria, Arizona) was a Major League Baseball outfielder who played for the San Diego Padres (1999–2001). His father, Mike Sr., pitched for the expansion Toronto Blue Jays in 1977. Brother Ryan played in the Detroit organization for many years before ending his baseball career. In 1995-96 Ryan was named CIF Co-MVP with Palo Verde Yellow Jackets star Tony Blythe (College of the Desert) out of the Southern California Section. Mike in the mean time continued to climb the ladder and landed a spot with San Diego Padres Triple -A team in Oregon and eventually made his way onto the starting roster as a Padre. Darr was a promising young outfielder. The last season he played prior to his death, he appeared in 105 games for the San Diego Padres, compiling a .277 batting average with 2 home runs, 34 runs batted in, and 6 stolen bases. The team Darr played for, the San Diego Padres, held their spring training camp every year at Peoria Stadium in Peoria, Arizona. It was in Arizona during spring training on February 15, 2002 that Darr was involved in a single car accident. Darr and friend Duane Johnson, who were not wearing safety belts, were killed. Minor league pitcher Ben Howard, who had his safety belt on, survived with only minor injuries. Darr was legally drunk at the time. Nearly the entire San Diego Padres organization were among the more than 1,500 in attendance at Darr's funeral. Darr left behind a wife, Natalie, also a graduate of Corona Senior High School and two sons. The Padres wore a black circle patch with Darr's uniform number 26 on the right-sleeve of their uniform during the 2002 season.
