If your sending to HOF type athletes... include a good writing utencil for them to use! It's worth the extra $1!!!
When I do TTMs... I always give them a couple sharpies/pens to use.
That way if they don't have nice markers/pens lying around to use... they will hopefully use the ones you send them and you'll get a better looking graph.
I always say in the letter they can keep them. Which hopefully helps out other TTM collectors. The only person to give them back was Harrison Ford.
I usually also send them a couple extra pictures etc for them to keep. That way when annoying/greedy collectors ask for extra items, the athlete/celebrity will have some extra items handy.

It's rare they don't have a sharpie. I have never sent a sharpie and never had an issue.
You are always welcome to but you don't have to.

No need at all. The price of buying all those sharpies and the extra price of postage to send them would really add up fast. I've never sent one, and never had an issue

It's not rare that they don't have a sharpie. But who knows how many graphs they had signed with that sharpie before they sign your item.
I don't want my stuff signed with a dried out gross sharpie.
Or if I want it signed in a certain color... I'll make sure I send that color marker.

I meant that it's rare because usually if one sits down to answer their fanmail they usually have something to answer it with.
You are always welcome to send your own sharpie if you want a certain color, and you are right there is a possibility of something signed with a dried out sharpie. I was just saying it's not necessary to send because a lot of members don't.

No You will be fine

It's only a hassle to send a sharpie PLUS it would cost more.
But it wont't be an issue.

Good luck!
