Anyone get desmond howard back? I sent mine c/o the Lions and get an RTS

brianwintersfan · March 21, 2006 7:16AM

I sent one to his home but I haven't gotten anything back yet.

duner · March 27, 2006 5:06AM

BW....when did you send the carter and the van pelt out? I sent mine towards the middle of january, and still haven't received anything from either.

brianwintersfan · March 27, 2006 5:20AM

Just got them back and both took 18 days to get in. Seems odd that you didn't get them back yet??

CopperJJ · March 27, 2006 8:26AM

Got my Montana back today...definately not a autopen since half of the loop in his last name is missing.

Are all 91 players in the set alive and available for signing??

Thanks for sharing the experience here!

I believe they are but some most likely will only be available at shows since they won't do TTM.
That Butkus is a sweet hit!

Very nice cards guys.

I've enjoyed your journey with the sigs immensely!

Keep'm coming!

Just mailed out 31 new ones a few days ago so I'm hoping for a stuffed mailbox in the coming weeks. It was a mix of the Topps AA set along with some baseball as well. As of now I'm waiting on a total of 74 to come back.

I sent to Desmond 1/21/06, haven't received a return or RTS yet c/o a Cleveland Oh addy.

B-Dub.....how what's your status on the AA set? I think I'm at 21 players and 8 doubles so far....I haven't had anything come through the door in about a week.

brianwintersfan · April 10, 2006 6:02AM

Just a quick count shows I sent out cards to 51 different players. So far I have gotten back 23. Just got some RTS's from Merlin Olsen, Lorenzo White and Desmond Howard. I have a different address for Howard so I'm going to re-send. I'm also going to give a second try to Staubach, Griese, John Jefferson and Earl Campbell who I have heard nothing back from for 3 months.

duner · April 10, 2006 6:41AM

B-dub, let me know what address you used for lorenzo white. I found an alternate address for him...but I haven't gotten anything back yet. I don't think there's been a success for howard in over two years, got an rts c/o detroit. I haven't gotten anything for campbell back yet either....but his success rate's usually pretty good. I hear griese's pretty good but he takes forever, staubach is supposed to be hit or miss for a legitimate signature, and olsen charges a fee.

brianwintersfan · April 10, 2006 6:47AM

Lorenzo White
14321 Bedford Ct.
Davie, FL.33325-1221

Maybe I will wait a little longer on some of them before I resend. The Olsen envelope had everything blacked out with a Refused-RTS stamp on it. Have you tried this address for Howard yet??

15907 Stockbridge Ave.
Cleveland, OH. 44128-2009

duner · April 10, 2006 6:53AM

I only tried the lions address for howard.

as for white, give this one a try. I sent mine three weeks ago to no avail yet, but someone had a success with the lauderhill lakes address this year. Rumor has it, he actually does live at the address the rts' are coming from but has managed to get the post office to send all those packages back.

2860 Somerset Dr. #K111
Lauderhill Lakes, FL. 33311

brianwintersfan · April 10, 2006 7:16AM

Thanks!

downtown · April 10, 2006 12:12PM

I have 21 successes out of 35 sent.....still waiting on most of them.

duner · April 24, 2006 3:48AM

You've got the magic BDub....my ttm requests must smell funny or something. At least the lorenzo white address worked for one of us.

brianwintersfan · April 24, 2006 4:00AM

Thanks for the help on that one! I guess I'm just getting lucky these days. Keep the faith and keep on sending. Sometimes that's the best way to get the luck going again.

joestalin · April 24, 2006 1:57PM

Wow, this really is a great thread. It looks like if you have the info and you are smart you can get these. I have a large quantity
of the All American base cards if anyone needs any. I have been collecting the stickered set, but these are in most cases much
nicer. Should I send my 1/1 press plate to Foley to sign? Think I would get it back? So I can find out everyone's addy in the set
on that sportscollector.net?

Thanks
JS

Here is a reference pic, if anyone is interested.

brianwintersfan · April 24, 2006 2:07PM

Foley is good about signing so you should have no problem there. If you sign up on SCN you should be able to find most of them. If not you can just ask on here and we can help you out.

brianwintersfan · May 4, 2006 6:38AM

Sorry for the Willie Davis as I scanned them together.

duner · May 14, 2006 6:21AM

duner · May 25, 2006 8:07AM

Anyone want to trade their doubles?

I have doubles of:
Newsome
Foley
Bruce Matthews
Bubba Smith
Montler (on back)
Crow
Butkus
Bartkowski
Lyons
Musso
Pruitt
Griffin

brianwintersfan · May 25, 2006 8:39AM

Just curious if you paid the fee for John David Crow??

duner · May 25, 2006 10:34AM

sent him $10 and 2 cards...pled college poverty to get him to sign them.

brianwintersfan · May 25, 2006 1:19PM

joestalin · May 27, 2006 10:59AM

The first tragedy has hit this set. Ironhead passed away today. Did you all alrady get him to sign?

Kevin

duner · May 27, 2006 11:12AM

Ironhead hasn't signed ttm's for a few years now because of his illness. I think the only way you can get his sig is to buy the certified auto.

brianwintersfan · May 27, 2006 1:52PM

Didn't even know the poor guy was sick. The thing that really brings it home is that he was only 3 years older than me!
RIP Ironhead!

duner · June 3, 2006 4:19AM

This was a nice surprise

brianwintersfan · June 3, 2006 6:36AM

Very nice indeed!
What address did you use??

duner · June 3, 2006 6:55AM

To be honest...i'm not sure, it was whatever scn has on file

CopperJJ · June 3, 2006 2:35PM

It's been quite a while since I have had a success from this set.

brianwintersfan · June 3, 2006 3:24PM

I just re-sent a few that I never got back the first time along with a few new ones that I will never get back

Gonna sit down and start sending some out from this set again as I have also been on a cold streak.

brianwintersfan · June 7, 2006 3:40AM

bsavage · June 7, 2006 3:48AM

This thread inspired me to start trying to get autos TTM. So far I have only gotten back Bubba Smith, but I am already hooked.

brianwintersfan · June 7, 2006 4:11AM

There are plenty who will sign so go for it!

duner · June 7, 2006 4:37AM

B Dub, what addy did you use for jefferson? have you sent james or easley out?

brianwintersfan · June 7, 2006 6:18AM

John Jefferson
21272 Victorias Cross Ter.
Ashburn, Va.20147-4938

I did get back Roland James but did not send out to Easley as of yet

Bubba was my first success too. Congrats and welcome to the set.

Thanks, CooperJJ & WintersFan. I had a response from Marty Lyons waiting for me when I got home. He auto'ed the card and the two index cards I had put in there for protection. Plus he personalized one of those. It's really a cool feeling when you get one back.
