    This is when I first went to a Monkees concert in 1997 and was able to get backstage after the show to meet and get their autos. I was so thrilled!

  • Julie Snyder

    This is another recent acquisition. I purchased this from Butch Patrick and he signed it in my prescence. I then mailed it to Bill Mumy (Lost in Space) to have him sign it. This was in October of this year.

  • Julie Snyder

    Here's one I purchased from Bill Mumy, who had starred in both the original Twilight Zone episodes "It's a Good Life" and its sequel "It's Still a Good Life" with his daughter (who played his character's daughter). He had allowed his daughter to pre-sign a stack of these back in October 2008 and then he signed in my prescence.

    Pretty decent mailday today. I got 2 that I am real happy with and one disappointment.  First, former Michigan State Spartan and current Browns coach, Chuck Bullough signed 1 of 1 in 112 days c/o the Cleveland Browns. Secondly, current Detroit Lions linebacker and former Ohio State Buckeye, Bobby Carpenter signed 2 of 2 in 120 days c/o Detroit Lions. Finally, the disappointment. Doyle Brunson signed 1 of 1 for me in 7 days. Unfortunately, he signed it on the back. So this card is up for trade if anyone is interested.

  • Russ Robinson

    Thanks buddy!  Check your inbox for the address!

  • Julie Snyder

    I had mailed several Lost in Space items (including this book titled "Lost in Lost in Space") and a few Lassie items earlier this year for her to sign as it appears that another possible opportunity to meet her in person is unlikely, given her age. She also included this handwritten letter.

  • Julie Snyder

    Here's the whole story behind my special meeting with Mouseketeer Don Underhill, which appeared in the News section in the March 2005 printed issue.

  • CEE GEE

    This just in in 15 days...Robert Deniro...also from my neck of the woods in NYC....as scene from one of my favorite movies Goodfella's...they filmed most of the movie in my area...the Dinner and a lot of cool scenes as well...so cool...God I hope this is not secretarial...good luck everyone else !!!!!!! and have a happy new year

  • David Jackson

    Awesome CEE GEE!  I got to meet him once when I was in the military.  No autograph though, sadly.

  • Fredrik Nyman

    Ooh, good one Cee! :-D
  • CEE GEE

    Just found out its secretarial...damn...

  • Russ Robinson

    Nice return for the second to the last mailday of the year! Peyton Manning signed 1 of 1 in 11 days c/o his foundation! I also received a signed Ray Allen card that I won from a Listia auction!

  • David Jackson

    Nice Russ!

  • CEE GEE

    yeah man...Peyton has been hooking everyone up...I got an 8x10 ready to go out probably next week...now that Christmas madness is over I am going back into stealth mode sending maybe 20 or more next week...just killer stuff Russ !!!!!...package is on the way bud

  • Russ Robinson

    Thanks guys! The only complaint that I have on this return is the fact that it came back with a small scratch at the top of the card that wasn't there when I sent it out.

  • CEE GEE

    I see that...........hmmmmmm....thats odd...my friend got his photo back a bit ruffed up as well....damn is this a spiteful pattern I see...I would hate to think that he would do that....maybe the mail carrier ?

  • David Jackson

    I could believe peyton manning would do that.  he is an ass sometimes.

  • David Jackson

    but at least its a scratched signed card instead of a non signed scratched card, lol. 

  • Russ Robinson

    At least its a small scratch. I don't think that the mailman did it as there was no damage to my return envelope. It almost looks like someone took a paperclip to it! I haven't seen any pics from others and thier returns, so I don't know if I'm the only "lucky" one!

  • DB

    cee gee - if the deniro is the ttm secretarial you speak of would you post it in my secretarial thread when you have a chance.  thx in advance.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Hey Russ, that is exactly what it is - a paper clip. I have gotten several autographs over the years with paper clip indentions on them. I think maybe the mail handlers for some celebrities opens the mail, then paper clips the card/photo to the SASE that it goes to before handing it off to the celebrity to be signed. When the paper clip is removed or has been clipped to the item to be signed for very long, these scratches and indentions occur. Only explaination I can think of.

  • Robert Babb

    I got a nice response ttm from dana delany today! Through a dealer i got an  autographed picture signed of ron howard and henry winkler. From listia i won a signed picture of lori saunders from petticoat junction fame.

  • Russ Robinson

    Thanks Jeffery! That's probably what it is. I got a response from Susan Lucci once where her handlers paperclipped my crads together and mailed them back. They arrived with big paperclip shaped dents in the cards. They were ruined! At least the Manning is still good!

  • Julie Snyder

    Here's one I received ttm from Bobby Sherman back in 1997 after I wrote to him.

  • Robert Babb

    I got an autograph ttm from peyton manning! I hope everyone has an awsome new year and be safe!

  • Russ Robinson

    I ended the year on an awesome note autograph wise! Today, I received Jeremy Roenick. He signed 4 of 4 in 253 days! Max Venable signed 2 of 2 in 9 days! Finally, David Sammartino signed my pin up and trading card in 8 days and included 2 signed pics of his own! Fantastic success! Happy New Year everyone!

  • CEE GEE

    Happy new year Russ...what a way to cap off 2011...your first TTM AUTO should be coming in Tuesday...be safe tonight...nothing for me today
  • CEE GEE

    First for 2012 I meant....LOL
  • Robert Babb

    nice russ!

  • Don Peabody

    Just received 2 nicely signed 11x14's from Jane Seymour ($10.00 each required donation). I also had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Seymour. She was very nice.

  • Oliver Bustillos

    I am a noobie to this site and need some help in starting out in my quest to aquire autographs from Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, and Jay Novacek.  I would also love to get autographs from the Dallas Cowboys team of the 90's.  Any info you guys give me will help me alot. 

  • Oliver Bustillos

    How do I even begin to find out if Aikman, Smith, Irvin, and Novacek do autographs through the mail?

     

  • Russ Robinson

    Aikman ans Smith only sedn out pre-prints. Irvin doesn't sign ttm. I don't know about Novacek. I wrote to him back in the 90's and got a lousy rubberstamp on my cards.

  • john

    have any of you tried any colleges?  Ive tried ND, Miami, FSU.BC and have had some success. I check to see if there is a facebook account--send them a letter asking and adding a SASE for response...favorite one was Justim Tuck...I met him at the hotel here in Jersey when ND came to play Navy here. I blew up the photo that l had taken with him and when l met him during the season he said' l remember that poster and taking this photo'  l felt important-even for a split second..lol

  • john

    lm sorry...lm new to this room so l dont know what is the norm...l use to send for just photos but now l ask to send some bigger item(I know-dont cry over something that you dont mind losing in the first place) but again l ask for permission

  • Oliver Bustillos

    thanks for the response

  • Jeffery Kite

    Oliver, usually you can find Aikman, Smith, and Irvin at card shows. In fact, Aikman and Smith will be doing a show with GT Sports Marketing April 25-29, 2012, at the Garden State Exhibition Center in Somerset, NJ. They don't have a very good website in my opinion, so I would email them to get prices: gtsmhawaii@aol.com    As far as Irvin and Novacek, I have not found anything on them. They both have not signed TTM since 2007, according to my sources.

  • Robert Babb

    I got autographs ttm from dallas clark and jacob tamme of the colts. About a 3 week turn around!

  • Oliver Bustillos

    What did you get autographed, and where did you send the letters to?
  • CEE GEE

    Nothing in today...Hope to read some good posts later...Happy New Years guys !!!!

  • Robert Babb

    I got trading cards signed and sent them in care of the colts! The address is on the colts website.  If you need further help getting the address let me know.

    Today, I got the first R.T.S of the New Year! One from Bob Kudelski and the other from The Iron Sheik, but I did get 11 successes for a total of 20 autographs! This includes the awesome Bobby Richardson card that I got in a trade with CEEGEE! Your Brunson will be in the mail tomorrow my fiend! The only bummer is from Rick Cerone. I wrote to him telling him that I was a big Yankees fan and I sent an extra card for my son Jakob. He signed the Brewers card and sent back the Yankees card unsigned again! This is the second time that he didn't sign the Yankees card! I'm just going to have to send it alone I guess. It seems to be the only way to get him to sign it!

  • CEE GEE

    Bro you straight crushed it dude....simply insane Russ....wow...what a way to start the new year...going to be sending out some killer request this month in about a week or so...just awesome Russ...

  • CEE GEE

    Enjoy the card bud...I hope its not a double to your collection brother...

  • David Jackson

    I have been waiting over a month now for my Bobby Richardson to be returned.  He must be on vacation.

  • CEE GEE

    soon enough Dave...he takes a while sometimes...I got inpatient and set another request after he never sent back my first one and got both back....LOL

  • Mark Johnson

    I received 3 Shawon Dunston autos today. I sent 1 card and he added 2 more.
