Go in touch with the UFL and sent out a bunch of custom cards, trading cards, and a poster to the Sacramento Mountain Lions with a Culpepper card. I'll let whoever know if I have any luck in a few weeks.
I plan on doing the same with the Virginia Destroyers here in the next week or so. I just have to get to work on the customs first. Culpepper signed last year through Sacramento, don't see why he'd stop now. Hope you get a bunch of returns from that
Some favorites from my collection, so far, are...
Favorite IP Autographs: Chris Cooley, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Faith Hill, John Riggins, Bruce Smith
Favorite TTM Autographs: Stephen Davis, Jim Lachey, Peyton Manning, Mark McGwire, Chris Samuels
Favorite Sports Teams: Washington Redskins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox

I got a whole set already of customs for the Destroyers ready to send out. I just want to see if the MoLos respond fast enough to my query that I can gauge whether or not more blitzes* are feasible for the rest of the teams. (I doubt they will make it out of 2011 in one piece.)
The Destroyers have got a veteran coaching staff in place- outside of Schottenheimer, that includes former players: Lionel Washington, Ed Reynolds, and Johnny Holland. -There's a few others that have some playing experience on his staff as well that I can't name off the top of my head. Some names as well on the playing roster: Pat White, Adrian N Peterson, Odell Thurman, Dexter Jackson (WR), & Maurice Hicks among others. They have a lot of unsigned NFL veterans claimed as well. Be interesting to see if they sign with the league when no NFL team takes them.
Got Kansas City Chief offensive lineman Joe Valerio, (a shade under a year) and UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue (10 days) today. Been contacted now by 3 players over the past week from the UFL who liked my custom cards so much they wanted copies of their own so they could print them out. ^.^ Shameless self-promotion: http://lee.n8d.com/ufl/
*blitz- sending a bunch of cards to a team, addressed to all the players in the hopes of getting the majority of them autographed in one swoop. (Best used when you are after a player card set, a bunch of developmental players all at once, a bad team, or a small/ not very well known league/team.)
I think I am going to try sending just one out to the Destroyers, probably Pat White, and see what happens before I blitz it. I want to see how they are with fan mail, since they are a new franchise. I could hand deliver it, since I live about 10 minutes from their headquarters

EVERY REQUEST INCLUDES A SASE, INDEX CARD FOR "SLIGHT" PROTECTION AND LOR!!
NONE OF MY AUTOGRAPHS ARE FOR SALE!!! THEY ARE FOR MY PERSONAL COLLECTION ONLY!!!
Autograph collecting is a hobby of mine. It is not meant to be anything for profit nor beyond my enjoyment. I only send out to people I have deep respect for in their profession/field. I send out to the following but not limited to: professional/college athletes/coaches, actors/actresses from TV shows, artists/authors, voice actors/actresses, and any other random celebrity I love/respect. I try to respect everyone's privacy the best I can.
Feel free to private message me about anything. I'm always willing to help if I can. Just do not demand addresses/advice. Be chill about it and I'll definitely be of some help! Aggression and entitlement gets nothing.
Best advice I can give everyone about autograph collecting through the mail are the 3 P's: BE POLITE!!! BE POSITIVE!!! BE PATIENT!!!
Failure RTS for Marc Bulger courtesy of the Ravens- since he retired. Thanks for sitting on the envelope for 2 weeks.
Success for Judd Garrett former journeyman RB who played in the WLAF, NFL and CFL over his career. Currently on the coaching staff of the Cowboys. Included a nice thank you note and signed 5 cards.
Great set of successes CWill! I am still waiting on a RTS from Randle-El from Steelers Camp. I sent it out the day before he was released and still haven't heard anything. Just like leebo said, that's a long time to wait for a RTS. I hope they didn't just trash it.
On a more positive note, got a success that I honestly thought was a long shot. Tried to get him last year during camp, but the Lions released him. Longtime Redskins OL and Michigan alum, JON JANSEN! Sent on 7/11, got it back personalized, inscribed "GO SKINS" and signed my 4X6 custom in black sharpie. Now I have both bookend tackles, Samuels and Jansen, from the Skins. He is one of my most wanted, so I am very excited about this one.
Man the thread has really been thriving this past week, hasn't it!? Great stuff, everybody!
