Ryne Sandberg - FAIL

I sent two pictures to Ryne Sandberg as a c/o Philadelphia Phillies about two months ago. Today I received the pics back unsigned with a PP and a letter basically stating that he gets "too much" fan mail...

I did not scan the envelope because the PP is already in my garbage can. I am not one of those knuckleheads that brags about a PP and talks about how it is "still cool". No, it's not. It's fake and holds zero value. However, if anyone wants to send me money to purchase the PP then message me and I would be more than happy to pull it out of the trash and mail it out. Thanks!

Maybe you should not have thrown it away and assumed it was a pre-print. Ryne Sandberg does not sent pre-prints he sends pre-signed.

I sent him a jersey and $ and haven't received anything and it's been about 3 months. Not looking to good.

Thanks for the info. I took a 2nd look and it definitely is not a PP. Are you sure it is not secretarial? I'm intrigued now...

When you send to the Phillies, someone goes through all his mail and sends out pre-signed photos. They are not pre-prints. The best way to get him is to send to his Biltmore Estate address AFTER the season ends. When you send it to his home he can respond personally. He has signed multiple times for me through that address. I have never sent a fee mainly because his foundation is no longer in operation. Good luck

I sent him my jersey and $10 at that AZ address on Feb 6th and have gotten nothing.
