Knock yourselves out folks.

Well, I guess that I will be the first to respond...I just got back Mike Piazza 0/1 this past week, sent c/o Spring Training...Sent a 4x6 pic......At least he returned the picture....Oh well......I have also gotten failures from Mark Teixeira, Ron Santo, and Ron Oester...

Glad to see this thread materialize. Stuff like -

RTS
FOE
Refused
Autopenned
Preprints
Ghostsigned
Stamped
Requests people have written off
Items returned unsigned etc

Basically anything not a success. I think next month "What did you get today" should be "August 2006 - TTM Successes"

RTS from

Graig Nettles
Taynon Sturtz
Patrick Bryant
Mike Dunham

rdf8585 · 07-21-2006, 01:47 AM

Pre-prints and form letters are likely from

George Brett
Robin Yount
Michael Young

RTS from Phil Niekro likely, but he's possible if you keep trying.

MOST Phillies send preprint photocards in black. Not all of them but MOST. Noted excetion this year is Ryan Howard who has been sending photocards which are signed.

Howard seems like a nice guy...i had the cahcne to talk to him after a barons game one time

Better get Howard quick because soon those picks will be in black and preprinted

RTS- Duke Snider: Don't know why?

Can't followup on address!!!??

Don't worry with Snider. He is near Niekro territory. Snider will have periods where he signs everything, others where he's a constant RTS, and others where he signs for some and not others. I'm pretty sure he's still on Fallbrook Lane or whatever it is.

Cecil Fielder RTS...again
Does anybody have a working address for him??

When did you send to him? I sent to him a few months ago and did not get anything back.

I've had failures with Ron Oester, Phil Niekro, Michael Young and Joe Morgan c/o home. Is it true Niekro only signs for women?

semperfi · 07-23-2006, 08:56 AM

I have had a couple successes from Niekro, with my name (male)...I am not sure what the trick is, it seems to be hit or miss. I am 2/3 but I know a lot of people aren't as lucky. You may want to keep trying.....he is a big fisherman so maybe you could put something on the envelope that would draw his attention.....Good luck
