Trust me, even the most patient of us have had our times where we've gotten frustrated. Right now I have a ton of stuff pending, and it's hard to wait it out. I've had to wait almost a year before getting a success, and I know that some other people on this thread have waited even longer than that.lmt022 wrote:Hey guys, first time posting on this forum.
What's the longest any of y'all have ever waited on a response TTM?
I started collecting in July of last year, and I have recieved quite a few back, but my concern is that I won't see half of the cards I've sent out.
I've got cards out now that have been out since I started doing this, and I'm just kind of, I don't know, worried or aggravated that I will never see said cards again. (Most of them aren't really worth anything, but I am a pretty avid collector of cards, and it's a little aggravating to see them go away with no hope of seeing them again.)
Apart from that, does anyone have any advice for someone in my position? (Impatient, aggravated, and kind of new to the whole concept.)
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Unfortunately, you are going to have a lot that either get lost in the mail, kept by the athlete you send to or just tossed in the trash all together. For that reason, you never want to send anything out that you aren't prepared to lose. I've taken a couple of chances on items I wish I'd never sent. Even if they won't sign, it doesn't mean they'll send it back to you.
Best advice I can give is to try to be patient and hold out hope. I think that TTM responses for the NFL this year have been longer than in years past. Maybe that's a byproduct of the lockout, maybe it's a trend, not too sure. Trust me when I say this, it's a great feeling when you go to the mailbox and get a response that you thought was long gone turn out to be a success. Hang in there, we're all in the same boat with you.
