My son and I started TTM over 20 years ago.
Those were the days when Joe DiMaggio, yes Joe DiMaggio, would sign one item TTM. But he would sign every month if you sent him another item.
We used to keep charts to see who were the quckest signers and the slowest.
Clint Hartung took one year.
Many HOFers took only a few days as did Bobby Thomson.
I can remember the joy of going to the mailbox every day to see who sent us back an autograph today. Great bonding experience with my son.
Now my son has a great job at ESPN and works closely with all the baseball people there. No autographs though
.
It is a shame that this is what it has turned into:
"Just got an email from Steiner that indicates they now have a Barry Larkin exclusive."
