Any Success with asking for rookie cards?

[willardst]

Yea,
Im thinking of writing to people and asking for signed rookie cards to start the collection?
Has anyone else had success with rookie???

matter of fact, i was just wondering the same thing. however, i was going to send rookie's their rookie card and see if they would sign it. the only thing im worried about is if theyve never seen the card before and they like it so much that they keep it and dont send you anything in return.

lOL.
YEA I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BUY ROOKIE
CARDS AND I DONT WANNA SPEND 90.00 DOLLARS
FOR A BOX OF THEM.
BUT THEY SELL THOSE TOPP CARDS
IN SMALL PACKETS DONT THEY?

yea i just bought some from wally-world (wal-mart) and they were in a pack of 32 for $4.67. in case they dont send them back, im not out of a fortune.

No offense, but, I really dont see why you shouldnt send them their rookie card. Its like sending them any card. All it does to a collection is increase its worth.

and if you do send it and dont get it back then it would be a waste. at the start of a season I could see, but as the season progresses the more iffy it becomes. adrian peterson for example, hes become a popular name over night. yea it would be great to get his autograph. but more than likely with his status, he may keep that card and send back an AP or a PP on some worthless card.

iffy means likely or unlikely. and my personal opinion would be to send a rookie card to a rookie prior to his NFL debut. he will probably be someone that is not highly respected and not a lot of fans yet to jump on the band wagon. but if you wait to mid- to end- of season and he just "goes off" and has an outstanding year, everyone will start sending request after request, and he will be overwhelmed and start sending PP or AP's. Or he could be so stuck on himself and send nothing at all. not saying this happens but its just my opinion.
