i sent to corey patterson and got an auto back, that was a while ago though. I was at a cubs game a month or 2 ago and he signed a ball for me there. he's usually really good about signing.

Steve Nash signed fairly quickly for me.

Steve Nash
Tracy McGrady
Jerry West
Bryant reeves
Dell Cury

That was some years ago though, I doubt McGrady still signs.

do you think if i sent a replica jersey a letter and something he would sign it and ship it back or should i just get a cheap card and do it that way?

AiRjOrDaN22

Did you guys all send sase's?

BigGameGil

i wouldnt risk loosing anything other than a cheep card

yeah you gotta send a SASE it makes it easwe for them

I know a guy that is getting autos from all the HOF football players that he can. He is getting them all on Mini Helmets too.
He sends out a letter asking them if they would sign a mini helmet if he sent it with a SASE box.

I would try doing that if you wanted to send a replica jersey.

Hi -
In the early 1980's, I used to write to players, mostly Hall Of Famers for autograph requests. I would say I got almost all I requested including Roger Maris, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, Hank Aaron and many others. These are legitimate autographs and not ghost signers as I have had some of them authenticated. I got most of them rather quickly considering who they were. The players mentioned usually responded within 6 to 8 months. Players like Ron Cey, Richie Hebner and George Foster were much faster, about 4 to 6 weeks. A few players responded even quicker, especially the retired lesser name players.

Their is a few rules you should know before sending an autograph request.
1 - ALWAYS include a self addressed stamped envelope. If a player is going to honor your request he should not have to pay for the postage.
2 - Do not be greedy. Do not enclose a lot of 50 cards to be signed. Two or three would be fine. Also, include extra cards for him to keep. He may keep or even sign and return those extra cards.
3 - Make it as easy as possible for him to honor that request. Do not include a long winded letter but a brief statement about his career or his team and politely ask him to sign and return your cards.
4 - The best time to request autographs is the off season and best sent to the players home and not the team. Players have more time during the off season to answer their mail. If you send it to the stadium, sometimes teams have ghost signers for their more popular players so you may not get a real autograph.

Hope this helps. If I can think of anything else I will let you know.

Best of luck,
Bob.

Warren Spahn, I sent him a baseball to autograph(in a box, with a adress label and stamps so he could send it back) last year, the very next week it was back in my mailbox auto'ed. It was my first through the mail success and it sits in my personal collection.

I'm gonna start sending out cards to be auto'ed again soon.
