  • Robert Babb

    I got a ttm from Josh Saviano who played paul on the wonder years  today!
  • Russ Robinson

    The post man braved the snow today and brought me a couple of goodies. First, I received a signed card of, Detroit  Tigers manager, Jim Leyland. Second was a Listia win of a Bowman Chrome Certified Rookie Card of Cardinals runningback Josh Scobey. Also, the post off ice didn't cancel the stamps on my Listia win. Freebies!
  • Russ Robinson

    Today I received a nice signed 8x10 from the head football coach at U of L , Charlie Stone. I sent out my request in care of the university.

    Secondly came a couple of big Listia disappointments. I won a signed 8x10 of Harry Gant that ended up being personalized "To Josh". This wasn't in the auction description and wasn't visible in the auction listing. I'm just going to re-list and hopefully get my credits back for it.
    I also received a signed minor league card of Ernie Young. It is a great card and a welcome addition to my collection. The problem is that it was supposed to be free shipping and the envelope came to me with no postage at all! Instead, I got one of those little envelopes so that I can pay the $1.22 myself!

    Listia is becoming a pain in the backside!

    I'm looking for addresses for Oprah Winfrey & Ellen Degeneres...anybody able to help?
  • AutographBug

    Lee Lacy, former 70's L.A. Dodgers 2B-OF took time to autograph my cards sent in the mail.  He does charge $5 per autograph, but for collectors of that era, a decent price for a good player and gentleman to us collectors:

  • Jeffery Kite

    Nice week this past week. Got autographs in the mail of Fredi Gonzalez and Bobby Walden. Fredi is the current manager of the Atlanta Braves, and is going to do a great job for us this coming up season. Can hardly wait! Bobby was the punter for the Steelers Super Bowl IX and X championship teams, and had a fantastic 14 year career in the NFL.

    Pretty crappy day for autographs. I got my Rob Terry card back signed, but on the back! So this one is going to be put on Listia! Secondly, I got a return from Xavier Woods. He signed 2 FCW cards for my sons, but he sent a note along with them telling me that my TNA cards weren't with the envelope! Now I don't have his signature or my cards!

    To my great surprise on Saturday, I got a large manilla envelope that featured my labeled name and address in both the "To" and "From" sections,  asignal that something good was forthcoming, but what? I always include a postage paid addressed envelope with my requests, but I hadn't sent out any requests in a while. I opened up the package to find a letter I had written to actor LQ Jones that was dated January 22, 2010. Mr. Jones is a member of the cast of the Sam Peckinpah epic western, "The Wild Bunch," and I had sent him a letter telling him how much I enjoy that film, and enclosed two photos from the film asking him to inscribe them and perhaps to write in a line of script from that particular scene. Mr. Jones wrote back, saying, "Dear Jay, You probably thought the hogs got to me! Not So!!" He went on to say that he had filed my envelope with some business papers and only recently came upon it. Because I attend Celebrity Colloctors shows, I had included what I thought woyuld be equal to what he may charge at a show. As far as I know he doesn't attend those shows, and he sent me back the money I sent him as well. Of course, he obliged me with the inscriptions and personalization, and made some comments about some things I wrote to him about my feelings about that amazingly singular film. My collecting goal is obtaining as many signatures as possible from this particular film, as it is my favorite. This brings me a little bit closer. Patience, my friends. Have patience.

    Jay,

    "the Wild Bunch" is one of my favorites also. Would you be able to share Mr Jone's  address with us?

  • Jay Burstein

    Lee;

    I am sure that the address I have for him is his home address, but I found it here on Autograph Magazine in the celebrity address listings. In fact it was listed there on two occasions, which drove me a bit crazy because I thought I had the right address yet didn't hear from him in over a year. Then it was Eureeeka! I think the rules for THROUGH THE MAIL ( I just joined) is NOT to share if you think it's a home address, so I'd rather not. Please go through the old listings of celebrity addresses from the magazine and if you don't find it in a  week or so, write me back and maybe I can send it to you privately. I don't mean to be mean; I'd kill for that address too, but I think I'm playing by the rules set up by the site. So let me know either way; if you don't find it, I'll work it out and get it to you.

  • Robert Babb

    I got a autopened ttm of president obama today!
  • Jorge Marin

    Hello, my name is Jorge and I just joined TTM today. Great place here! I have been collecting TTM since '96. Became inactive for almost 10 years, but restarted the hobby several years ago. I send out about 10 letters a month, and had pretty good successes.

    Since January I have received Robert Redford, Jon Voight, Fats Domino, Bruce Jenner, Peter Max- to name a few.

  • Robert Babb

  • Chris Klamer

    This started out to be a very slow year because I really haven't mailed much since December 15th. But I do have a couple of hundred envelopes still out there some where. But I did recently get in two envelopes one from Steve Guttenberg (Police Academy) and Elliott Gould (MASH).
  • Russ Robinson

The seller also included a signed vintage  8x10 of singer Rose Lee Maphis as well as a couple of old snapshots of some country performers. The Maphis is made out "To Turney" so I'll probably be listing this one on Listia in the not to distant future!

  • Lee Parmerter

    Was curious if anyone knows if Clint Eastwood ever signed requests through the mail. I have a few that I sent him back in the early 90s that I assume are probably secreterials.
  • Darrel Wayne Cray

Joanna was the real life inspiration to seigel and his partner Joe schusters charactor of the man of steels heart throb , Lois Lane. She was first seen by all as lois in 1938.

  • Dawn Darst Reuter

    Hi, new here.  I've been through the mail collecting since. 1998.  I think the hobby has changed alot since then and it seems more difficult than ever to get responses.  The most recent one I received however was great.  My niece is a huge fan of Johnny Depp.  I had a postcard of him and thought I would try but wasn't expecting anything.  I wrote a long letter telling how much my niece enjoyed his work and what a great girl she is and how I wanted to give her the autograph for Christmas.  Mid November I received it back signed and I framed it and gave it to her as a gift.  She loves it! 

  • Russ Robinson

    Welcome to the group Dawn! Great story about the Johnny Depp success!

    Thank you for the welcome Russ. : )

    Today's mail brought me a signed 1990 Notre Dame Collegiate Collection Johnny Lattner card. Johnny was one of the greatest college football stars of all-time, playing offense, defense, and special teams - all at the same time during his games! He so deservedly won the 1953 Heisman Trophy award, and led Notre Dame to some of the most stirring comebacks in college football history.
