Another Call me crazy but I'm sending this TTM thread (this time Koufax) RETURN TO SENDER

As you know from my TTM thread on George Bush, I'm a gambler. Since Koufax recently went way up on his signing fees ($800), this rookie I have of his doesn't do me a heck of a lot of good since I collect signed ones, not unsigned. And I'm not going to pay $800 for him to sign it. Thus, I sent it to him with a witty letter this past Sunday. Wish me luck!! From Sportscollectors.net he does occasionally sign one here or there so we'll see. Hopefully it won't be a lost cause. Worst case scenario would be to lose it completely, but hopefully he'll return it if he won't sign it and then I'll just sell it on ebay and be done with it.

How does he charge that $800 fee? When is signs in person, or also by mail?
Why in the world he charges so much? I have never heard of that kind of price for a signing. Is this a normal thing? Do other players charge this much or just him?
Good Luck!!!!

I would love to see the letter that goes with the card .
That is a pretty ballzy move , but one I am sure he will definitely thinkabout, I am sure he knows how popular his card is and for someone to risk losing it in any condtion , would have to be crazy or just plain ol' have a great story .
No doubt I wish you great luck.
Good Luck!
Always looking for Chipper Jones cards.
Im a very focused collector of cards from 1909 - 2012...LOL
<< <i>If memory serves me , I believe people send Sandy cards care of a Pennsylvania address but he live is Florida . I believe the stuff people send get sent to a family member . I believe some people get lucky when Sandy happens to be visiting when the mail shows up . I may be wrong. >>
Uh oh, I sent mine to Florida and from the addresses people were having success with over on sportscollectors.net , they were using Florida. Seems a lot get RTS, so I don't know what criteria he uses to determine which ones to open and which ones to just scribble RTS on. I tried to make mine look as "non autograph request" on the outside as possible, by using an official envelope from my work. It should get his attention and I would think at least get it opened. Who knows but at least it will be fun waiting on the mail for a while.

bravo!
$800? for a signature though? get real...it's not like he's JESUS or something (who by the way probably wouldnt charge a fee lol)
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know something , I was wondering the other day if there is a such thing as a Jesus Christ signature anywhere ?
I'm sure he must have signed his name somewhere , on some kinda scroll or something ?
Now that would be an amazing autograph and something There would be no price I could be offered to sell it .
I think if you did have it and you did sell it, it would be like betraying Jesus . . . a Judas of sorts .
That would be one heck of a conversation piece !

true, but a dradle on the front of the envelope my get his attention enough to open it....

Alex,
The mailing address I have for Koufax is:

Take care,
Mike
<< <i>it's not like he's JESUS or something (who by the way probably wouldnt charge a fee lol) >>
Are you sure about that? He has a history...
I think it was worth the risk.
<< <i>By the looks of your Koufax card it would probably cost $150 to replace so
I think it was worth the risk. >>
Your pretty good with that guess. That's exactly to the penny what I paid for that Koufax.

Never send what you can't afford to lose. More times than not you won't see it again so send wisely.
Time to get rid of all this stuff I have. Would include a scan but don't know how to do it on here.
If interested in buying, let me know and I will send scan to your email address.
