No problem. Glad to help!

Montana in the mail today! My 4th received from set.

Herschel Walker RTS on the 14th. Hawn Court address

I have never been a fan of autographs. I just don't get it. However, the idea of having this set signed is brilliant, and the cards look fantastic. A complete set will be a showpiece for any collection. Way to go, guys.

Ahmanfan · February 16, 2006 1:52PM

I'm pretty sure montana is autopen. thats the word going around on SA (star archive) anyway

same deal with bird, bradshaw, etc.

<< <i>I'm pretty sure montana is autopen. >>

Well the one I got back is not exactly like the one downtown posted so I don't know if I agree with that. In my letter I said that if he was using an autopen or ghost signer that he should send my cards back unsigned. Well he sent one back signed and the other unsigned so if he was using an autopen why not just do both??

I got Johnny Musso back (2,2) for my AA set today, signed in black sharpie...Mailed out 12/19/05.

downtown · February 17, 2006 12:17PM

Mr Karras sent back the letter I sent him and added a thank you from his daughter. I sent him two of the Topps All-American cards and she didn't have it in her collection so she kept one for herself. She must collect dad's cards.

downtown · February 25, 2006 2:35AM

Picked up in a trade

CopperJJ · February 25, 2006 5:56AM

Hi guys, I forgot to post yesterday. I got (3/3) from Jay Novacek all AA Retired, so I have 2 for trade for others AA Retired that I don't have.

KLS23 · February 26, 2006 11:35AM

Hey guys,

I have a few of these to send out myself. I noticed that on sportscollectors.net there are lots of reports of success with Bruce Matthews...but no address on the site. Anybody track down a mailing address for Bruce? I believe it should be somewhere in TX. Thanks in advance.

brianwintersfan · February 26, 2006 12:13PM

Go on the message board part of the site and post a message that you need his address. People are pretty cool about helping out over there.

brianwintersfan · February 27, 2006 2:58AM

downtown · February 27, 2006 12:45PM

Someone may have already posted one of his, but Danny Wuerffel was in today.

rlankhaar · February 27, 2006 12:54PM

I love seeing these cards! Thanks guys!

duner · March 3, 2006 5:16AM

AWWW YEAAH!

I had my first TTM success today.....Got Dick Butkus back. Best part....I sent 2 AAs to be signed, and he sent me those back and 3 additionally signed cards.

At first I was skeptical they were all autopens, but after examination they check out.

I can already tell this is going to be addicting!

Downtown....where did you get Foley's addy?

downtown · March 6, 2006 1:58PM

After not getting anything in mail for a wile...these came today along with Jerry Sloan and Virgil Trucks.

DUNER...the Foley was picked up in a trade.

brianwintersfan · March 6, 2006 2:08PM

Just got this one back today as well.

kennylow · March 6, 2006 2:30PM

Herschel has an awesome auto!
It's nice being these ex-athletes, even the ones that were wipeouts in the pros. I wonder how much they can make just signing autos for card companies.

CopperJJ · March 7, 2006 6:47AM

Today brought Dan Fouts, yesterday brought my second success with Herschel Walker. 2 AAs in blue sharpie, one with full name, the other only H Walker.

duner · March 7, 2006 9:24AM

Has anyone attempted to get the chromes auto'd? I can't really tell if the auto will either immediately smear, or if the auto won't be visible on the background.

My First 40 requests are somewhere in transit...but I'd sure like get a couple of chromes signed for my next round.

brianwintersfan · March 7, 2006 2:35PM

I just tried it and it won't work. The sharpie has nothing to stick to.

duner · March 7, 2006 2:38PM

Thanks for the info BW....too bad I just bought 25 chromes, but i guess that's better than having 25 chromes come back all covered in smudged sharpie

brianwintersfan · March 7, 2006 3:24PM

Just didn't look to good so I would not waste your postage. I'm sending out another batch on Thursday.

downtown · March 8, 2006 12:31PM

I am up to 12 with 13 out...more out saturday.

downtown · March 9, 2006 8:46AM

I should start sending a fresh sharpie. brianwintersfan card is clearer.

duner · March 9, 2006 10:15AM

4 more back today....montana, walker, mcmahon, and cappalletti.
I have my reservations about montana!

I received a RTS from novacek (12475 S. Brady-Mountain Rd. Brady, NE 69123) anyone know a good address?

KLS23 · March 9, 2006 12:28PM

Hey guys,

Got back Keith Byars today....turnaround time was less than a week! Will post a scan later.

duner · March 9, 2006 2:18PM

By popular demand...here's my montana sig.

duner · March 9, 2006 2:22PM

Downtown, coud you post Dave Foley's address? I tried PMing you, but it appears you have it disabled.

brianwintersfan · March 9, 2006 2:37PM

I actually showed mine to Harvey Meiselman and he thought it looked pretty good. So I'm not sure what to tell you Duner.
The thrid one is downtown's

duner · March 9, 2006 2:43PM

All the sigs coming from his address are from the same hand....i just dont think it's joes. If you look at the cards he signs for upperdeck the J and the Ontana are different...the one's coming from his home have that stop-start effect, his certified autos are pretty much elliptical semi circles.

Maybe his auto's changed....either way, for the $1.26 postage it matters very little to me. If it was a 1980 topps I sent him, I'd have some serious anxiety.

brianwintersfan · March 9, 2006 2:46PM

<< <i>If it was a 1980 topps I sent him, I'd have some serious anxiety. >>

So would I since his rookie is 1981

I may spend the $20 and send it to PSA/DNA and see for sure. Harvey compared it to a known autopen he had and one he got in person and he thought it might be legit. He agrees PSA/DNA is the way to go to make sure.

KLS23 · March 10, 2006 11:59AM

Also, received Wendell Davis back today in 7 days. So far, so good.

Ken

MooseDog · March 11, 2006 12:30AM

ANYTHING received from Montana in the mail is autopenned. 100% guaranteed.

There are three variations of the autopen that I have seen. As I have stated in other threads, Joe is GREAT in person so long as he is not with his wife or family but I doubt he even sees his mail.

five7teen · March 11, 2006 12:50AM

Well, he's scheduled to be at The National - anyone have an idea how much that'll cost?

brianwintersfan · March 11, 2006 2:52AM

<< <i>ANYTHING received from Montana in the mail is autopenned. 100% guaranteed. >>

I think I'll let PSA/DNA decide that.

gregm13 · March 11, 2006 3:02AM

Slightly off topic, but I recently sent out 15 TTM requests for hall of famers and mailed them to the hall of fame. Three were returned (Marv Levy, Jackie Slater and Anthony Munoz) and I received the Joe Gibbs back un-autographed in the SASE w/ a note stating that he is too busy now that he has returned to coaching.

Very dissapointing so far. I re-mailed the Levy, Slater and Munoz to their respective teams and asked they be forwarded. I thought the Hall of Fame forwards mail for all hall of famers. Some players must have requested that the hall not forward any mail to them.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Greg M.

brianwintersfan · March 11, 2006 3:19AM

The only one I have sent so far that was c/o HOF was John Henry Johnson. I did get them back but I also heard that others had success with him that way. You may be better off sending them directly to their homes if it doesn't work this time.

Stone193 · March 11, 2006 3:30AM

Brian

Good luck on the auto - take a good look at the sig - if it has a hard start and stop - perhaps with a little "welled up" ink - I would guess autopen. If the sig is light on the end, as if pulled away with less pressure - probably real?

I was also curious about the pen - and according to this company - "it can use ANY kind of pen" - I was thinking that kind of pen wouldn't be used in a machine but I guess anything goes.

duner · March 11, 2006 3:32AM

2 more successes today....got two ozzie newsomes, and 2 john david crows.

duner · March 17, 2006 2:40AM

Three more successes today....does anyone else think the Sayers looks suspicious?

ChicagoGlen · March 17, 2006 3:27AM

With www.sportscollectors.net, do they have a lot of Baseball players address? I think what you guys are doing is great. I would love to get White Sox player autographs for a bar display in my house.

brianwintersfan · March 17, 2006 3:31AM

<< <i>With www.sportscollectors.net, do they have a lot of Baseball players address? >>

I would say yes. I also have Harvey Meiselman's brand new address book so I would be happy to get you started if you need some addresses.

brianwintersfan · March 20, 2006 4:13AM

duner · March 20, 2006 4:26AM

BW...did you send griffin to the alumni assoc, athletics, or the other number?I sent mine out c/o the alumni assoc. a month ago and still haven't received anything back.

brianwintersfan · March 20, 2006 4:51AM

c/o Longaberger Alumni House
2220 Olentangy Rd.
Columbus, OH. 43210-1035

Mine clocked in at 41 days

JBiggs · March 20, 2006 5:32AM

Very nice. I especially like the Sayers.

ATFF, Heritage, Cracker Jack, Tradition and just about any "throwback" set make great TTM requests.

I attempted the 2004 Topps ATFF Baseball set and ended up with 60 successes- Not bad considering the checklist.
