i finally got a success ttm from tommy lasorda! Thanks jeffrey she seems like she would be! Russ hang in there!

Nice returns to report today.

First, Bruce Armstrong signed 3 of 3. I am only going to keep one of them.
The big surprise came from, actor, Stellan Skarsgard. I sent him a card to the set of the Avengers movie and got it back today postmarked from Stockholm Sweeden! I thought it was gone for good. Not only did he signed my Thor card, but sent a signed note card as well! Never give up!

nice russ!

OK, guys....got a real treat in the mail today from 18-time major champion, Jack Nicklaus. I've heard he autopens some and answers some of his fan mail. Here's what I got. Opinions are welcome. I think it's The Golden Bear himself.

These arrived ttm yesterday from the Hollywood Show. I pre-ordered these prior to their attendance at the show last month (April20-21, 2013).

The USPS feels justified for raising the price of postage, but then give us quality service like this!

Other than the mangled letter that I received today, I did get back my pin-up signed by The Blue Meanie.

Thanks, Jeff! I've a good many dealers and collectors look at it, and they say it's 100% real. Getting PSA to take a look at it on the 25th. They're coming to BP Sports for an authentication appearance.

Got 1 TTM today from Jamie Moyer 4/4

Today brings me in my opinion one of my Favorite Mail Days yet...Sent 4 cards and LOR included 1 card from each team he played on.4/4 from non other then WADE FRIGGIN BOGGS

Today was a good day.

I got 2 of 2 from Beau Allred, Juice Newton, and Jamie Moyer. And 4 of 4 from Marcos Ambrose. Although, I wish that he would have used better markers. The autographs didn't come out very well.

My daughter, Rebekkah, sent out her first fan letter a while back to, voice actress, Erin Fitzgerald. She provides the voices to a number of the goughls on the Monster High cartoon. Today, Rebekkah got all 5 of her items back signed and a nice note from Miss Fitzgerald thanking her for being a fan! Classy!

Today brought me 1 TTM 1/3 from Will Clark.. Mr Clark kept two of that cards I sent to him. corners and edges came back a little beat up but thats ok. Its finally been a good TTM week over here.

I got another autograph ttm from chandler riggs from the walking dead series!

One ttm today. Alan Oppenheimer signed my Masters of the Universe DVD cover.

Nice russ! Know you have the power!

Russ Ironicly we did a halloween party and i wore that costume lol

Finished off the mail week on a high note. A Monster High note that is! LOL!

My daughter, Rebekkah, got one of her Monster High cards back from Salli Saffioti. She does the voice of Cleo De-Nile and Clawdeen Wolf on the cartoon. She signed the front of the card in black pen, so it is hard to see, but she also signed the back with a nice inscription for Bekkah!

I added 2 of 2 from Darren Fitzgerald, 4 of 5 from Mark Carrier and 4 of 4 from Jim Davis!

Sorry. I got Darren Fletcher. Not Darren Fitzgerald! I don't even know who Darren Fitzgerald is! LOL!

I got my 3 cards back americana cards back from Mal Whitfield but only 1 turned out half -butt decent , those came last monday , but couldnt find my camera now, 

Wow! You guys killed it! That Nicklaus was the only thing I got in the mail this week, but what nice piece it was. I'll take quality over quantity anytime. And Russ, I guess you were thinking about the great Expos catcher Mike Fitzgerald! But for the record, there is a Darren Fitzgerald who is an Irish soccer player. :)

I got an autograph ttm from from former wcw and wwe star shawn stasiak. It is to bad that he did not last long but he is know a licensed chiropractor.

Exciting day today as I got 4/4 from Ron Gant Sent to his Fox address

Olympian Bryan Clay signed 6/6 in 34 days via 810 E Bennett Ave, Glendora CA 91741-2747

Great way bto start the week. Not only did I get some sweet Listia wins, but I also received 3 of 3 from Rob Ramage and Fabian Nicieza signed my ProSet SuperPro card and sent a signed index card.

Got a nice package at work today: a signed 8x10 of NHL star Dany Heatley. Dany was the 2002 Calder Trophy winner, and was on the Olympic hockey gold medal winning Team Canada in 2010.

Tuesday's mail brought a signed bookplate from Mr. Jim Belishi for my copy of "Real Men Don't Apologize". I got 2 of 4 from Tony Gonzalez and Joe Dumars signed 3 of 3.

Got home and found another treat! A 1974 Topps card signed by Chuck Brinkman. Chuck was a catcher for the White Sox and Pirates from 1969 to 1974.

Received some great success these last two weeks - Brady Quinn, Y.A. Tittle, Ron Gant ( Jeff, thanks for the info and Tony, my request worked too), Mike Cameron, Fred Lynn, & Ron Cey.

I forgot one.  I also received a ROMLB TTM from Tony La Russa.  I asked him to inscribe it with " '89, '06, '11 W.S. Champions" which he did.  I am super excited about this one.

One today. Herb Adderley signed 1 of 2. He didn't return my other card, but, oh well.

Russ - I have that same Adderley card signed. Congratulations!

Bessinger - So glad to help you (and the rest of the autograph world it seems! LOL!!!) in getting in touch with Ron Gant :) I knew there were a lot of them out there, and I can't help but think he rerally appreciates all the kind letters you all have sent him. These guys love to be remembered.

i got an awsome autograph ttm from hall of famer raymond berry. He sent me a signed trading card , postcard, and signed my note cards as well. An awsome response and class act!

2 ttms were waiting for me when I got home today!

First, I got 2 of 2 from Dave Johnson for my Orioles pc.

Second, I received 2 of 2 from Greg Gagne for my Twins pc.

Post office was pretty nice to me yesterday - Kevin Harvick, Graham Rahal, Jason Taylor, Luis Gonzalez, & Chris Chelios.

Do any of you write to non-sports celebrities or to world boxing champions through the mail? Because so far, what I see here mainly are baseball, football and basketball ones.

The majority of mine are actors and actresses and Wnba

Personally, I have never had much luck writing to boxers. Back in the 90s, I did get Ali before, he started sending out the autopens, and George Foreman sent back my   trading card unsigned with a small signed pic.

As far as non-sports celebrities, I have had many successes with them, but they are few and far between. Sports stars, especially retired ones, tend to be more apt to sign. In my opinion.

Yesterday, I got 2 ttm.

First, Duane Kuiper signed 2 of 2.

Secondly, Ryan Church signed 4 of 4 .

Yesterday I received Jack Nicklaus signed item. Read the story about this on the J Nicklaus topic in the Golf group section. 

Russ: There is a service out there, I cant remember the name right now, that sells you all kinds of celebrity addresses. The boxing list costs $7.50, but it contains hundreds of hundreds of home addresses and the addresses are mostly accurate. As far as writing boxers, I'd say not to write to the biggest names obviously, but there are several smaller names that are Hall of Famers and that are in the list. If you decide to get the list, go to your local shop and ask if they have the old Kayo Boxing cards. They are the same size as baseball cards and you can send them that for autographs!  

Last mailday of the week brought me 1 of 1 from Mark  Thurmond, 2 of 2 from Bobby Witt and 1 of 1 from Holly Hyche.

finally got my Mal Whitfield pics put on comp 

also got my premier auction buys back 

Just got back in town from a nice Memorial Day celebration back in my home town, and opened the mail box to find this gem: a 2012 Topps card autographed by Braves pitcher, Brandon Beachy. Brandon is currently rehabing his elbow after Tommy John Surgery last year, and looks to be back sometime after the All-Star break. I think he'll be a good one once he gets everything worked out: he's 12-10, with a 3.07 ERA in 41 career starts over the past 3 seasons.

I got a reply ttm from bruce jenner who signed 1 of 1 of an americana heroes and legends card.
