Autograph request form letters and photos

Nolan Ryan was doing this for a long time. If you sent a card to be signed via rangers. he would send back a postcard sized pic that was signed.

I think most if not all Nolan Ryan's ttm b&w cards are auto-pens.

Some players do sign stacks of their own cards to send out or have a secretary of the team send back out for autograph requests and they are legitimate. Obviously some can be ghost signed or auto-penned too and varies with each player. I've gotten actual signed team issue type cards from guys ttm over the years like Texiera, Joe Mauer, Paul Moliter, Kirby Puckett, Curtis Granderson etc..

Correct - the 4X6 Ryan black and white postcard-sized photos were autopenned. I had one as a kid

Some were Autopen, some were not. If you post a picture, I can tell what you are looking at. I've been collecting Ryan for 44 years.

Ryan isn't one of the ones I have.

I'll post scans, sounds like it'll be a mix of real and autopen.
