a few years back i attempted to send to curt schilling right after the season ended and got a return to sender that said "players have gone home during the off-season"

so always best to wait.

I know Spring Training is better!

Less people send there so you'll get it back quicker I know I've Tried!

oh ya but you have to send when they are in the beging of Spring Training

I have the springtraining addrresses on a sticky in the sports forum, heres the link

The majority of my autograph collection is baseball related.

I would wait untl the season starts to mail to that player, or you could always mail to Spring Training....go to the teams website (http://www.stlcardinals.com) for example, and it will give the address of the Spring training Stadium somewhere.

I always send my requests at the stadiums. I never tried during spring training so I can't really tell you what's better. Most if not all players and teams do sign TTM but remember to send something for them to sign and don't forget a SASE.

Hope this helps. Goodluck with your requets :)

i am new to this intrested in baseball and american football ( not to be confused with soccer). What is better spring training for baseball or the stadium. do you stand a chance either way. could someone tell me who the best players are in football who sign or teams that usually do throught the mail. I found out james lofton charges. I dont care if they personalize it they are for my private collection and not for sale. At least not for another 30-40 years maybye then but now they are just for my enjoyment any help would be appreciated[/quote]


I'm not sure about spring training, but I know some stadiums will let you try to get autographs. Some WILL NOT even let you try(Vikings). We were at the Indy/New England game in Indy a few years ago and I got a program signed by Rodney Harrison, Ty Law, Matt Light, Bethel Johnson and a few others. We were at the Indy/Buffalo game this year and my wife got a pennent signed by about 8 Colts players and I got a card signed by Bryan Fletcher.

My wife and kids have sent out a few Topps football cards and have received most of them signed and even a few team fan packs. They sign with a sharpie and sometimes some of it is smudged, but the kids love it.

I want to write a few Baseball players, but I'm wondering if I should wait until they're playing again. Do you think mail would get forwarded to them during the off season?
