I oly have two out there at the moment, you could say I'm a slow collecter over the last year I have only had about 20 sent out, lol.
But I plan on sending around 12 on Tuesday so I hope I get a lot of them back.

Well I received 59 autographs this year. I have about another 60 or 70 out there, so hopefully I'll get atleast 50 next year, plus all the autographs I purchase

I've been collecting for so long every year gets harder and harder.( I don't write anybody who sends out preprints, autopens or secretarials) I try each year for 365. average of one per day over the year. This year was 412 TTM and 126 that were either purchased or who i got inperson. 365 is always my goal each year.

I'm hoping to get even a few 'cause it seems like I don't have any luck at all... I just started collecting in june and I have about 40 letters out there but have only got one success...

Maybe I have a better luck next year, I hope so.

Hi Britneyfan,
Back in 1986 I was sending out on an average 100-150 requests per week. One week I sent out exactly 150 requests(retired baseball players) unbelievably I did not get one success out of that 150 nor did I get a RTS. Till this day I still have that list all yellowed and creased and when I look at it I have to wonder what ever happened to those requests. I written it off to either something happened to the mail that day or the twilight zone.

I have since written to those players and have received successes. So hang in there!!!!!!!
