I did this in the early 80's. Bought Smalling's list to test it out. The first three I sent to were Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Pete Rose. After weeks and then months passing and not getting any back, I decided not to send any more out.
Then after 6 months from sending the original ones out, I got Ted Williams back. I was pretty pumped. Then started sending more requests out. Never did get that Rose or Mantle back.
