Default Living Players with Pre-War HOF RCs

I've started getting into the idea of collecting Vintage HOF RCs that are somewhat affordable. I'd really like to try a few guys through the mail, although at their age now I just don't know if they would sign. Plus, sending a RC through the mail is a lot riskier than some reprint.

Here are a few I thought of off the top of my head who are still living. I decided to include a few 1940's/1950's guys as well.


Pre-War:

*1938 Goudey Heads Up Bobby Doerr


40's/50's guys:

1948 Bowman Yogi Berra
1948 Bowman Red Schoendienst
1951 Bowman Monte Irvin
1951 Bowman Willie Mays
*1951 Bowman Whitey Ford
1954 Topps Al Kaline
1954 Topps Ernie Banks
1954 Topps Hank Aaron
1954 Topps Tom Lasorda
1955 Topps Sandy Koufax
1956 Topps Luis Aparicio
1957 Topps Bill Mazeroski
1957 Topps Brooks Robinson
1957 Topps Frank Robinson
*1957 Topps Jim Bunning
*1957 Topps Whitey Herzog
1958 Topps Orlando Cepeda
*1959 Topps Bob Gibson

The players with an asterisk (*) are cards I still need if anyone has one for sale (lower end/cheaper preferred as I will likely lose it in the mail if I send for their signatures that way)!

Does anyone know the signing habits of any of these guys through the mail (and an address)?

Are there websites that consolidate upcoming signings (private signings or shows) you can send cards to for signing?

Thanks for any info!
Mark
