There are still a lot of HOF players that will sign through the mail. Here are some that have signed for me in the past few months. Lawrence Taylor will sign care of the Pro Football Hall of Fame - it will take three or four months, but you will eventually get your items signed at no charge. George Kell signs for free. George Blanda does too. Igor Larionov and Scotty Bowman have signed for me recently as well. Bob McAdoo will sign care of the Miami Heat. If you ask for it, Stan Musial will send you a photo postcard personally signed for the cost of a SASE. And if you count college football hall of famers, then Billy Sims, Greg Pruitt, Rick Casares, Pete Dawkins, and Gary Beban have all signed for free in the last few months. I think a lot more players sign for free than you would think. I think I got 72% responses for the summer requests that I sent out (just shy of 200 requests), and it was a nice variety of different sports, and the worst of those players would be players that had at the very least played in an All-Star Game or Pro Bowl. Guys like Boog Powell, Gus Zernial, Bobby Shantz, George Saimes, George McGinnis, Ed Meador, etc...
<Yogi Berra but I hear you may not get your card back.> damn bears,i called em, never got it?talked to dale berra, notlike they would need the $ or have any reason to lie, they arent hurting for cash or anything i dont imagine i bought a 80$ one, its going with dc , ins, prob have it flew in by secret service to him,man that sucks, now my 229$ psa 3 with 50$ will prob show after i send the other one, i know how my luck is

I just got Peyton Manning back this week.It is dead on with my Upper Deck autograph.Funny thing is I got a preprint from his brother and I am still waiting for his father.I will add a scan when I get home. Mike
Not many of the older football guys sign for free anymore. Off the top of my head the ones that sign for free are:
Chuck Bednarik Andy Robustelli Joe Schmidt Mike McCormack Jim Langer Dwight Stephenson Larry Little George Blanda Harry Carson Steve Largent Ozzie Newsome Charlie Joiner Dan Fouts Willie Davis
Even though the guys above don't charge, I usually include $5 per card (mainly for the older guys)
These guys charge $5 per card to sign: Bill Dudley George McAfee Dante Lavelli Yale Lary Stan Jones Charley Trippi Ace Parker Herb Adderly
These guys charge $10 to sign: Bob St. Clair Hugh McElhenny Lenny Moore Joe Perry
These guys charge $15 to sign: Gino Marchetti
$20 to sign: Art Donovan Frank Gifford Paul Hornung
$25 to sign: Raymond Berry Bart Starr
This is only a partial list. Let me know if you need any more info.
