I've had that work for non-A list actors and actresses and some lesser known athletes. Just follow the successes and the addresses they used and you'll be fine! Sometimes you have to give up on some players and celebs because they simply don't sign TTM, even at their private home addresses.

Often on this site, I see that the addresses for retired players are through their agents. Does that ever work? So far it has not for me. I am just wondering if it's a waste of time. I'm looking at Gary Payton, and guys like Larry Johnson.
