The same is true of Terry Bradshaw (his brother signs his TTM items). Terry has even confirmed this stating he hasn't signed through the mail since he retired.

RIP GURU
<< <i>Nolan Ryan will only sign for something like 60 bucks . >>
Nolan Ryan signs through his foundation for the following prices.
Price Item
$35.00 Each Signed Flat Item 5" x 7" or smaller (such as baseball cards or game tickets)
$55.00 Each Baseball or Signed Flat Item Larger than 5" x 7"
$80.00 Each Signed Cap or Glove
$105.00 Each Signed Bat or Jersey
$18.00 Each Personalization or Stat (324 wins, 5714 K's, HOF '99, etc.)
He is a generous person and his prices are quite reasonable for his status compared to people like Ripken Jr., Reggie Jackson, etc.
The only drawback is that his turnaround time is very, very, very slow though since he got his new job with the Rangers.

Take care,
Mike
before i sent any of these, i checked with a few sites and made sure the address is correct, still got 4/6 failures, 2 weeks and no success yet.

<< <i>Funny about BALBONI only signing his Mariners card. Is he still sore about being traded ? >>
I doubt that was it because he signed this one for me TTM in Royals uniform. A lot of players won't sign their yankees cards. It was either David Wells or Roger Clemens who said they won't sign Yankee cards. They said that's something for only their kids will have.
Wantlist:
2001 Fleer Genuine Elston Howard Material Issue Jersey
2001 Leaf Certified Jackie Robinson Fabrics of the Game Jersey #32
say i get back around 75% of what i send out signed.
