    Today's mail brought me a very tough autograph in the form of former Florida State University All-American cornerback, Martin Mayhew. Martin was an All-American at FSU in 1987, and would go on to help the Washington Redskins win Super Bowl XXVI. He's now the general manager of the Detroit Lions, and has not answered a TTM request in 4 years according to http://www.sportscollectors.net I am very grateful you signed an autograph for me, Mr. Mayhew! Thank you so much.

  • Robert Babb

    I got a nice autograph ttm from carol spinney of sesame street who did a sketch drawing of big bird and oscar the grouch for me.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Nothing in the mail today, but managed to get a Jeff Jarrett autograph in a box of 2008 TNA Wrestling cards I picked up at Target. Jeff was the founder of TNA Wrestling, and was a 4-time World Champion in WCW, and 6-time Intercontinental Champion in WWE.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Just one other thing.......any of you baseball fans out there, I would really encourage you all to try and go to a Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs game sometime if you can and are close. Their manager is Hall of Fame second baseman, Ryne Sandberg. He signs autographs for about 30 minutes before the game, and is so very nice and cordial with the fans. Check out my post on my meeting with him last Thursday in the In-Person and Sports threads on here.

  • Robert Babb

    very nice jeffrey!

  • Mark Johnson

    Well I learned a lesson, I paid $25 to Mary Linda Rapelye for a Star Trek autograph. It arrived today trashed in the mailbox. The Post Office blamed her...no cardboard inside etc. I won't buy any other autos unless it's in-person.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Today's mail brought me the autograph of former Florida State kicker, Barry Barco. Barry was the kickoff specialist for Florida Sate from 1983 to 1985, and teamed with punter Louis Berry and placekicker Derek Schmidt to form one of the best special teams units in country at the time.

  • CEE GEE

    Wow guys...there are some kick ass returns from everyone on here...these are just awesome !!!!!

  • Russ Robinson

  • CEE GEE

  • Russ Robinson

  • Julie Snyder

    I sent Annette Funicello a new pair of Mouseketeer "ears" with her name sewed on the back ( vintage style 1956, much like she wore on the Mickey Mouse Club way back), along with a few other items I wanted to share with her. I received this nice note today from her husband, Glen Holt.He also included this photo of Annette with stamped "autograph".

  • CEE GEE

    RUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!! forever and ever

  • Robert Babb

    I got an autograph ttm from daniel day lewis today!

  • Jeffery Kite

    Today's mail brought me the autograph of former Florida State linebacker, Terry Warren. Terry was an All-American in 1987, and was a key part of that team that finished 11-1 and #2 in the country after defeating Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl. He is now a fabulous gospel singer, and I encourage everyone to check out his music.

  • Robert Babb

    I got an autographed picture from shirley maclaine ttm today! Happy fathers day to all!

  • Jeffery Kite

    To finish up the week, I got a letter in the mail today stating I did not win the Coca-Cola Atlanta Braves Sweepstakes of autographed memorabilia, but I did win 2nd prize in the form of a $25 Publix gift card! Not a "true" TTM success, but pretty darn cool, to say the least. Happy Father's Day to all, from the Professor.

  • CEE GEE

    Happy Belated Fathers Day all !!!!!!!!

  • Robert Babb

    I got autographs ttm from greg louganis and greg grunberg today!

  • Russ Robinson

    Frankie Valli ruined a couple of cards for me by signing them on the back.

  • Robert Babb

    Sorry to hear that russ! He did the same for me as well but least it is an awsome success from a music legend!

  • Russ Robinson

    I agree that it is a great success. It could have been worse, I couldn't have gotten anything back at all or have them returned in my sase, unsigned with a price list.

    It's just a pet peeve of mine. I remember reading an article in Autograph years ago about collector's different quirks. There was one example of a guy that got a free autograph of some, baseball player, I forget who it was, but the card was signed in red Sharpie. The guy only collects cards signed in blue, so he threw the card in the garbage right in front of his friend! I won't go to that extreme. I am sure that I can find a collector that would love to have a Frankie Valli autograph of any kind in thier collection. I'll find them a good home!

  • Robert Babb

    good luck russ!

  • CEE GEE

    Got some real nice autos from Virgil Trucks and a really nice letter as well...got one form Hector Lopez signed 61-62 WSC...and Got 2 from Monte Irvin on Saturday...and a failure from Jim Coates who wants 10 bucks so I will be sending that one back out there...I wish I could post pics...but once the option bar comes up again I will post them down the road...

  • Jeffery Kite

    Today's mail brought me the autograph of former Bengals and Cowboys defensive back, Ray Horton. As a defensive back and punt returner for the Bengals, Ray helped guide them to the AFC Championship in 1988, and into Super Bowl XXIII. Coming short against the 49ers in that Super Bowl, Ray would get another shot, as he was a key member of that great defense for that Cowboys team who won Super Bowl XXVII. He was the defensive backs coach for those great Steelers teams that won Super Bowls XL and XLIII, and now he is coaching up the defensive backs for the Arizona Cardinals. 1st autograph for the new mailbox I just put up this weekend!

  • CEE GEE

    Got Whitey Ford again last night...it came out pretty bad...either he is getting really old or just don't care...totally signed in the wrong way and the ink did not take to the card so well either...it was a 4 player card with room for all 4 to sign and he signed right across the entire thing...

  • Fredrik Nyman

    Got Jennifer Morrison 'House M.D.' & 'Once upon a time' the other day...Nice catch...Too bad she didn't dedicate it tho.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Today's mail brought the autograph of former Notre Dame center, John Scully. John was a member of that legendary 1977 National Championship team, and would go on to be an All-American in 1980. He was drafted by the Falcons in 1981, and enjoyed a nice 10 year NFL career in Atlanta.

  • CEE GEE

    Got Bud Daley in on an original card last night...forgot the year...I wish I could post pics...but oh well...once the option opens up I will post them up...also got a Jerry Coleman 50 Bowman orignal signed card in and he also sent an extra signed card...really cool...stay cool guys...holllla..

    nice succeses russ! and everyone else! It has been a slow week for me as well!

  • Jeffery Kite

    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?

  • Russ Robinson

    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.

  • Russ Robinson

  • CEE GEE

    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...
