How did you track down Dennis Lamp and Mike Lum. I'm working on Cubs only and they are 2 folks that never seem to reply for me.

Mike

Shoot me a message and I'll give you the addresses I used.

Great thread. Curious about the current % completion as well. Any luck on Sutter or Fernando?

So far it's right at 74% complete. As for Sutter and Fernando, I either keep getting a RTS or it's just mailed back unsigned with now explanation.

Too bad you missed it but Sutter had a signing last month.

Great thread. Do you have a list of who you're missing?

Curious as to why they won't sign. The Fernando traded card looks much nicer than his 3-player rookie card (much like the 82 Traded Ripken looks better than his 3-player rookie card).

I'm curious to know that myself! I've sent Mr. Sutter donations, and the money and card is sent back.

I wrote Porter in the mid 1990's and for whatever reason I chose his 1981 TT card to get signed

This thread brings back a lot of good memories.
Back in the mid 80's I had a friend who did a bunch
of TTM. At any one time he had over 700 in the mail.
It's been 25+ years since we've talked. I'll try to look
him up. Best wishes and keep us updated.

Have you ever heard anything about Danny Ainge not signing his baseball cards? I seem to recall he doesn't sign them for some reason.

I have sent him the 1981 Topps Traded card to his home address and to the Celtics address. They either come back, RTS, refused, to busy to sign, or never come back at all.
