    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.

    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

  • 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.

  • Steve Cyrkin, Admin

  • Russ Robinson

    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.

  • Adam Richard Utz

    I received my Lee Meriwether donruss Americana Fabric Proof  card 16/25 signed and a old Sarah Coventry add from teh back cover of a 1970 National Geographic . signed as well as a price sheet for donations which im sending off on saturday  $20 per item, 

  • CEE GEE

    Nothing for me today...I have not sent anything since December 5th so when I get something it should be from that time period backwards...I got major request to go but I like to send them out in high volume so I get a high return percentage...still nothing to break the ice so until I get something in for 2012 I probably will not post any more daily non TTM reports...Its been about a month since I sent any so until I start sending a bunch out again I will keep you guys posted once I get the 2012 ice breaker...good luck everyone...I love to read your postings...

  • Russ Robinson

    One ttm today. I got a signed bookblate from Susan Van Hecke. She is the author of Apple Pie for Dinner.

  • Russ Robinson

    One ttm today. I got a signed note and bookplate from Beryl Singleton Bissell. She is the author of The Scent of God.

  • CEE GEE

    STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY BOOK PLATES BUT WILL BE REQUESTING A FEW FROM G.W BUSH IN A WEEK OR SO

  • Steve Zarelli

    I suspect I am the only person in the world who wrote to GWB for a bookplate and did not get one. I wrote last spring if  recall correctly.

  • CEE GEE

    Hey Zipp...my friend got I think 4 back last month so nows the time

  • Jeffery Kite

    Got my first autograph of the new year today - a signed 8x10 of Apollo 13 pilot, Fred Haise, Jr.! I am really excited about this one. Fred was the pilot of that famous ill-fated Apollo 13 mission that truly put NASA to the test. Reading his story about his career and about that mission is truly remarkable. Fred knows everything about NASA engineering, and no doubt that helped play a huge part in getting those guys home safe.

  • Steve Zarelli

    Fre Haise is a true hero and a very nice man. Congratulations.

  • Robert Babb

    I got a return to sender from glenn campbell.
