It's almost inevitable that the cards get beat up a little bit in transit. Back then, it was accepted to send cards for autos during the season though. I always focused on guys that the hobby magazines said were good TTM signers -- Bert Blyleven, Kent Tekulve, Gary Carter, etc. <br /><br />It is a lot of fun, isn't it!Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-16777993302617942662015-06-26T18:23:44.782-07:002015-06-26T18:23:44.782-07:00Congrats on your first return.

It's amazing how you can feel something that genuinely cool even at a more mature age.<br /><br />Personally I prep chrome cards (when I can be bothered) by sprinkling some baby power over the surface and wiping it off with some tissue paper.<br /><br />On a sidenote, I usually don't send cards I want the player to sign in a saver or sleeve or anything as it makes things busier for the player (I'd rather have the card get damaged honestly), but I'm glad things worked out well for you. Hope you get the Omahen back too :).Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-17260459386817613082015-06-26T18:14:44.970-07:002015-06-26T18:14:44.970-07:00It's my goal to do something like that, and I ...It's my goal to do something like that, and I had wanted to during Spring Training, since I heard that's when guys were most likely to sign (well major leaguers, at least), but I didn't get it together in time. Maybe I'll try some MiLB guys. They've got nothing going on, right?Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439278650702057885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-42070014920166020572015-06-26T17:42:24.401-07:002015-06-26T17:42:24.401-07:00That's pretty cool.
