Whitey Herzog, Tom Herr and Stan "The Man" will send you a postcard whether you send him a card or not.

there are hundreds of athletes from all sports who are good, quick signers.

Narrow your search depending on what you collect, what team you like, a set you are working on, etc. In my opinion.

there are really a bunch of guys but im going to tell you right now that the guys that sign index cards are fewer and fewer .
Alot of the guys are afraid of fraud . Easy to tranfer an autograph off of an index card

if you wanna try some basketball guys to can send to:

Larry Nance
Mark West
Dan Majerle
Hersey Hawkins
Maurice Cheeks
Kurt Rambis
Lenny Wilkins
Jerry Sloan
BJ Armstrong

and if you wanna try foot ball:

Herschel Walker
Pat Swilling
Jeff George
Andre Reed
Mark Kelso
Nick Lowery
Bruce Armstrong
Steve Walsh

and if you are so inclined to do hockey:

Adam Oates
Brent Sutter
Al MacInnis
Bill Gadby
Scotty Bowman
Milt Schmidt
Mike Madano
Dave Andreychuk

there really is alot of guys that sign thru the mail in all sports.....around 1300 TTM successes for me so far

Ahmanfan, searched the yankees and sent those already

mickeymantle24, im cheap, i just want to pay for the stamps

bigwilli, thanks, i will try to send cards if i have of that player, otherwise i will have to go with index cards, i already sent one to rick cerone this week, i heard bobby bonilla takes about 15 days, i'm too impatient for that

thanks everyone for the list, as i am looking at the player's address and success time, i sent a batch last monday/tuesday, i will send out another this monday. thanks once again everyone, any other players that take a week to sign and get back, with no fee except for a SASE?

Some older HOFers that are incredibly quick returns and I've had them all back in less than a week:

Chuck Bednarik - NFL
George Blanda - NFL (Personalizes everything)
Ace Parker - NFL
Steve Largent - NFL (Prompt when in the office)
Larry Little - NFL
John Wooden - NCAA Basketball (Personalizes everything)
Sparky Anderson - MLB
Bobby Doerr - MLB
Al Kaline - MLB

Well all i have to say is if you arent patient you will never get a great TTM collection going . I am still getting some spring training
autos back now. You need to be able to show patience because the guys you send to have lives , they dont sit at home just to
wait for the mail so they can sign the next letter they get .

I sent out 6 baseballs a few weeks ago and have all 6 back within 10 days...

hi ozzy,er keith

bigwilli · November 7, 2008 10:39AM

scn is a great site for TTM . so is startiger . i enjoy sending out cards and balls to get autographed . I dont
however enjoy the cramps in my hand from writing a bunch of letters .

Ahmanfan · November 7, 2008 10:48AM

<< <i>i heard bobby bonilla takes about 15 days, i'm too impatient for that
>>

If you don't want to wait 15 days, then TTM autographs are not the hobby for you.

bigwilli · November 7, 2008 10:53AM

I would say 4 weeks is about the average TTM . Some shorter some alot longer.

I remember sending to Jeff Nelson when he playes for the Yanks . A couple days after i sent it , he got traded to the Mariners . The
next year he played for the Rangers and thats when i got it back . That envelope did alot of traveling

what i meant to say is that i dont want to wait to get an autograph and get one within a week of the not so famous players, thats why i have this thread up saying who does sign within a week, if im waiting for a longer time, i'd rather go with a more famous player.

thanks everyone for there lists and sites to look at, i am looking at them right now, i appreciate it!

bigwilli · November 8, 2008 2:00AM

ok,well if you are going to send index cards the only advice i can give you is use colored ones such as blue or green .
there are a few guys that will only sign colored one . Fred Lynn is a great example . I ones got a pink one back from him.
