Wasn't TTM, but FINALLY got a tough-one off of my list.

Buddy got this IP in Cali last week!

Anyone sent to Miesha Tate lately? Anyone know if Take Down Enterprises is still good for her?

15 envelopes in yesterday - but only 1 MMA - Big Riggs Hendriks

You do celeb TTM too ragtop?

I got 5 in myself, but only Jon Tuck was TTM.



On a side note, my collection list was created in notepad. Think I'm going to convert it over to excel for easier following up process. I started it in 2006... It's going to take a lil' while!

I used notepad too when I started in 2002. Shortly after, I converted everything to Excel so I can keep track of when I sent to celebs. My autograph requests are now all done in Excel, and then I have a database of items signed also in Excel also. My autograph tracking sheet has several columns if you are curious, lol. One tab for each sport (sport/category. The columns I use are name, address, items sent, date sent, date received, total days, results (ie signed 3/3, etc.), and results comments (if they include something or didn't sign something)

As for what I collect, I primarily have done baseball since I started collecting TTM in 2002. Recenty though, heavier into MMA and baseball. i used to do a ton of celebrities, especially via set addresses since I subscribe to a movie set magazine and was a member of StarTiger (kind of wish I had it still). I still do some, but not as many as larger envelopes gets costly to send and the success rate just isn't there via sets.

Other than that, I will send to other sports, but typically just to good signers and better players, like Dirk Nowitzki in basketball, some HOF in various sports, Olympians, and some things like that. What can I say, I am addicted to the hobby! i sent out 1,453 TTM request last year :-x Wow, 1st time I looked at that number - lots of money in stamps and supplies!

Absolute love this one! He is on my wantlist - might end up having to buy one...

He is even hard to buy. I have had ebay send me listings with his name for years and there are never autographs. I would guess in 3 years there was one signed item and I bought it. I am only 90% confident of authenticity so am still considering getting another.
