It is just the bad cell phone camera photo and the rig I have to send 11x14 photos. The photo is in a toploader with the front cut out so that the player doesn't have to take it out of the toploader. Just sign it and put it in the SASE. The top loader is attached to a piece of cardboard to protect it in the mail. The photo is a custom done by a photographer and memorabelia dealer in Marshfield. If anyone wants his info pm me.

Zach Braddock is my new Least Favorite Brewer based solely on his lack of concern over having a legible signature.

 

 

You've never seen Carlos Gomez's auto then :laughing

 

No I haven't seen it. . .though by your post, I'm guessing it's a scribble.

 

Not sure if modern players quite understand how short their careers are, and how quickly they will be replaced in the minds of fans. Autographs are one way for them to live on for years--especially for marginal players. But if they're making an illegible ink glob, who is even going to want that picture 5 years from now?

 

Look at that beautiful Mariano Rivera sig and then look at the slop made by Lucroy. Why wouldn't he want to make it better?

not sure how into this hobby some of you are but I thought I would pass along one of my latest projects. Most of the Miracle on Ice 1980 Olympic team sign really well ttm. You can pick up a set of cards on ebay for around $10. I believe I got all but 4 guys in under a month. Was a really fun project for what I believe to be the greatest team in the history of teams (and im not even a hockey fan).

I have thought about doing that with the celebration picture, I just have not had the time, ambition or money to start it. I am also trying to finish projects of the living members of the 1962 and 1966 Packers teams.

I'm hoping in the next week or two that I hear back from one Mr. Sabathia. I sent a ball to him last spring training, with the notion it's a one year turn around. We'll see what happens.

 

I never think to do much during TTM since all I would want is baseballs and I don't wanna take the risk of not getting them back. Maybe I should jump on that Mariano Rivera train though, his signature is incredible, and if I had to chooe he's probably my favorite Yankee.

wow!

 

I mailed him some 8x10s last season, and never got them back...

 

When did you send it to him?

 

I keep hoping he sends back mine, but I'm sure they either found the garbage or his personal collection...

Sabathia hasn't signed for anyone since spring training last year.

 

Hoffman last success on SCN is 7/7/09 and even then he only signed a piece here and a piece there usually personalizing. He really hasn't signed ttm since march of 2006.

 

Thornburg has signed everything and anything this spring training. Looks like he signed nothing as a Timber Rattler. Maybe he never got that mail.

I'm gonna hit him up again once the season starts... If I sent it to spring training now, it might miss him.

 

I did however get Heckathorn back last year, and I sent he and Thornburg the same stuff, on the same day... They weren't Timber Rattlers when I sent it out, they had just been moved up. I gave them a couple weeks to get settled in, then I sent the 8x10s.

 

You just never know I guess. I'll try again.

I was just going to type the same thing as Brewers Super Collector. It may have just been Wisconsin that did not pass along mail. I have sent a few things to Wisconsin in the past and did not get them signed. Thornburg has signed a lot of stuff this ST. I would just sent to Huntsville where he is starting the season according to Twitter.

After Thornburg got moved up to Brevard County last season, I sent the 8x10s there, not to the Timber Rattlers...

 

I never got them back.

 

I will try again this year and send them to Huntsville...

 

How many can you send and not be asking too much of them? I sent Heckathorn 3 phptos, and he signed all 3.

I think the most I have ever sent is 2- for most I say that three is the maximum. If they don't want to sign all three they will either not sign or only send a few signed back. Hope this helps. Good Luck! I will be sending a few to Huntsville as well...all depending on who is assigned there. Especially Scooter Gennett or Khris Davis.

Brew City,

Was the "My First Brewers game" certificate something you made or purchased somewhere? I would like to do something like that for my son who will be going to his first game at Miller Park on Friday.

I sent an 8x10 to Brandon Williamson after he was called up from the T-Rats, got that one back about 2 weeks ago.

 

Also sent one to Kaleb Cowart, got that one back last week. I sent this one out a long time ago, didn't expect it back, but there it was! (Took the photo of him when he was with Cedar Rapids at T-Rats stadium. Talked to him a few minutes before the game (really nice kid), he flipped a foul ball to my son during the game, so we took a photo, hoping to have it signed the next time they were in Appleton. By the time they came back, he had already been moved up, so we sent it to him...)
