Freddi Garcia 6 days C/O Braves

[ThePhantom]

I've sent out these recently and am hoping to get some successes

Dan Plesac c/o MLB Network
Jamie Moyer c/o Philadelphia Phillies
Scott Cousins c/o Florida Marlins
Mike Leake c/o Cincinnati Reds
Greg Maddux 8 x 10 c/o Chicago Cubs
Ryne Sandberg 8 x 10 c/o Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs
Greg Maddux c/o Home Address
Ryne Sandberg c/o Home Address
Brandon Webb c/o Texas Rangers
Mike Maddux c/o Texas Rangers
Ted Lilly c/o Los Angeles Dodgers
Phil Hughes c/o New York Yankees
Russel Martin c/o New York Yankees
Joe Girardi c/o New York Yankees
David Wright c/o New York Mets
Alan Trammell c/o Arizona Diamondbacks
Kosuke Fukudome c/o Chicago Cubs
Darwin Barney c/o Chicago Cubs
Tyler Colvin c/o Chicago Cubs

Ideally I'd like to get 40-50% success rate. I know some of these are bad signers but I have heard of successes from all of them. I'd love to get the Greg Maddux ones back and I wrote a pretty in depth letter so hopefully that helps.

[bravesfan1515]

Moyer is as sure as you can get in this hobby, I have tried (Greg) Maddux, Sandberg, Girardi and Wright to no avail so if you hear from them please let me know

[ThePhantom]

Sandberg selectively signs. Maddux I'm probably never going to see again but I thought I'd try as he is my all time favorite.

I'd be really interested to know if you hear from Maddux, as well. He's one I'd like to get someday.

I'm sending these out today:

Tim Hudson
Brian McCann
Jeff Francoeur
Adam Laroche

Don't know if I'll get anything back, but I figured I'd try anyway.

[bravesfan1515]

I have LaRoche TTM (twice), McCann (twice), and Hudson (once) in person. I hope you have good luck with them. McCann is a great guy IP

I hope so too. LaRoche and and Francoeur seem like the most likely, McCann and Hudson were the ones I'm not sure about since they're the bigger "stars". I'd like to try to get some of the Braves from the 90s, eventually.

[bravesfan1515]

No TTM today but did get the autographed Chipper Jones jersey I ordered.

[jcash21]

I sent a LOR, SASE, and 2 cards to Mo Vaughn yesterday. Anyone had any/heard any successes with him before?

Also, I'm thinking of trying Griffey, Jr c/o Seattle Mariners. He works with the front office or something, I believe...?

Lastly, I'm going to be sending some photos out to Jair Jurrjens, Tommy Hanson, and Martin Prado in the next few days, so that's something to look forward to.

[ThePhantom]

Tommy Hanson would be pretty cool to get.

Got the first of my MLB cards that I sent out. Dan Plesac's auto. Glad to get this back as I really think he is one of the smartest commentators out there.

Is Andre Dawson pretty reliable if you include his fee? I have a ball with some other signatures that I might send him but I'm really scared I might never get it back.
