Step By Step Guide On How To get FREE Autographed Baseball Cards Through The Mail
Through the mail autos (TTM) are one of the most exciting things you can do with Sports cards, Baseball cards, Football cards, or plain index cards. There is nothing like getting the mail and seeing a SASE that was sent back from a player, then wondering who it is from.
These are the best instructions you can find anywhere on how to get FREE Auto's in the mail.
Just follow these instructions and you will soon have a nice autograph collection of your own.
If you don't want them you could even sell them on ebay for a nice profit.
Search ebay below for the player's autograph to see how much they go for.
What are TTM autos?
TTM stands for "through the mail." Some players will autograph cards or other items (ball’s, photos, index cards) sent to them in care of the team.
In one week my kids received 4 of them. Kerry Wood, Dusty Baker, Joe Torre and Ben sheets. All of them took around 2 months to get back.
It was very exciting to see the looks on their faces when they opened them.
How do you get them?
TTM autos are received through the mail. Follow these steps by step instructions to get the free autos.
1. Choose a player to send to. Note that big stars will usually not sign cards because of the sheer volume of fan mail they have. Choose the player carefully.
2. Choose a card of the player you wouldn't mind losing (a common or cheap insert) because the player may not sign the card.
3. Write a SHORT letter, and I mean short. Some people insist on putting all kinds of stuff like career highlights and other stuff. However, if the player is getting a lot of fan mail, they don’t have the time to sit around and read long letters asking for an autograph. Most of them don’t even read the notes and if they do just very briefly. I'm sure they would appreciate it short and sweet.
Here is the letter I use in all my mailings
Let’s pretend I'm sending to Milwaukee Brewers - Prince Fielder.
Dear Mr. Fielder (replace the Fielder with your player's name) I think you are a great player and I’m glad your on my favorite team. May I please have your autograph? Thank you very much, Sincerely, (your name)
You can usually hand write the letter on a scratch pad or blank index cards. You can get these at your local store or office supply stores.
4. Address your SASE. The small envelope size “9.2X16.5cm” works the best to do the SASE (self addressed stamped envelope). Address it like:
Your name Your address
Also, put a return address label or write in a return address in case there is a problem you wont lose your card. Remember to make sure to stamp your SASE (Don't forget this!!)
5. Address your envelope. It is best to use a #10 envelope for this. Address it like this:
Prince Fielder (Change Name as necessary) c/o Milwaukee Brewers 1 Brewers Park Milwaukee, WI 53214-3651
Again, replace Fielders name & address with the correct one for your player and team. You can get the addresses for the teams on my addresses page or the teams web site.
6. Put everything in your main envelope, seal and stamp it and you're all set!
When sending a card, just place the card in the envelope without a card saver. This makes it fast & easy for the player to sign. We have sent out a lot of TTM autos this way and not one has come back damaged.
OK so there it is, all laid out for you.
All you need is a card, envelope & 2 Stamps and your all set to get that autograph.
It can take from days to months or even years to get a card back. Part of the fun is waiting, so don't be upset if the card never comes back, just try someone else and be patient. The next thing you will know.
"You Have Mail"
Good Luck & Have Fun!
