Re: The autographs by mail project
Nice of those guys to return your cards! I think it says a lot about a player when they choose to respond to fans. Very classy.

Re: The autographs by mail project
Bump.
What is the Reds address that I could send a Votto SI cover to to hope to get signed? Anyone? Thanks. |

Re: The autographs by mail project
I had success a couple years ago with a few players. My most memorable card was Josh Hamilton, as he returned it almost a year later. Sparky Anderson returned my card very quickly, within about a week.

Re: The autographs by mail project
Years ago I had success doing this with Jerry Rice. There was someone else (A baseball player, I think) that snubbed me. It wasn't a Red though.

Re: The autographs by mail project
Its difficult to tell in the photos. Are they signing the hard plastic casing, or the card? Like I said, hard to tell in the photos if the autograph is just displaying clear through the hard plastic cover or if they are actually signing the casing. Just curious.
