I got a bag as well when I requested a fan pack. As for spring training this will be my first one sending out. I think I will do a mix of ones that almost always sign but I will try some of the harder guys as well.
Ben ... on February 22, 2010 I sent the following to Spring Training. Here are the results:
Ryan Howard Shane Victorino Jonathan Papelbon (01/24/11 … sent back unsigned with form letter) Jacoby Ellsbury (01/04/13 ... almost 3 yrs. Did not sign cards but sent other items) Alex Rodriguez Mark Teixeira Nick Swisher Curtis Grandersoon (03/08/10 … did not sign my card but sent me a signed postcard pic)

I was real happy to be able to add these four cards to my autographed '52 Topps set. I used part of the profit I made from selling a raw '52 House (the rare yellow Tiger/Logo variation) to purchase these.

Real nice day for additions to my collection. I came back from Tampa today (weather pretty much sucked) and these were waiting for me.

A couple of '51 Bowmans:

This came from a trade with Evan (Orioles93):

A couple of weeks ago I read on another Forum that Whitey Ford was signing TTM from his home in Florida. What really drew my attention was that he was doing so for only $10.00 per card. For that price I figured I would send out two. Well, after only nine days, I received back the following. THANKS MR. FORD!

10.00 per card? He was up to 35 per card at one point. I also saw where people are suspecting his wife started to sign some of his stuff....but yours look fine, Doug....congrats!
Barry ... yeah, these two look good. If you go to his website there is a fee schedule and the fees are MUCH higher. That's why I tried sending to him in Florida. The below was copied and pasted from his website:

The only Seaver auto I have is on his 1968 card too, but it isn't slabbed. Maybe I'll take it with me to the National this year to get slabbed. What do you think Doug?
BTW, those Whitey autos look great. I actually have this signed picture I got from a buddy I played hockey with that moved to North Carolina and didn't want it bring it along.
