Hello one and all!

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can list our successful TTM autograph requests and how we went about doing it (eg addresses used, items sent etc).

Mostly I will email the "contact" section of someone's official website to ask for instructions and assistance and probably get responses from 90% of the site admin.

Anyway, I am happy to kick things off :)

Person: Layne Beachley (Surfing)
Address: Julia Kish, Sports & Entertainment Limited, Level 3, 243 Liverpool Street, EAST SYDNEY NSW 2010
Item/s sent: letter, sharpie texta, stamped self-addressed envelope, 8x12 photograph

Person: Andrew Gaze (Basketball)
Address: Mr Andrew Gaze, Australian Basketball Resources, PO Box 2222, IVANHOE EAST VIC 3079
Item/s sent: letter, sharpie texta, stamped self-addressed envelope, 8x12 photograph

Person: Dermott Brereton (AFL)
Address: C/O SEN 1116AM, 473-479 Swan Street, RICHMOND VIC 3121
Item/s sent: letter, sharpie texta, stamped self-addressed envelope, First Day Cover envelope
 
Person: Ricky Ponting
Address:
Ricky Ponting C/O Ponting Foundation Level 1/189 Rouse Street Port Melbourne VIC 3207
Item/s Sent : 8x6 photo and BBL card.

Recieved back in exactly 7 days. You may only send 2 items per household per year
 
I've been thinking about doing this for awhile now, a side project to see if I can get autos from all roster players during the Bulls Championship years. I have the cards, the envelopes, the writing paper, the US global postage stamps, now the hunt begins for addresses. I joined SCN last night, hopefully that will be fruitful.

The 1st group of players I will target will be Pete Myers, Jo Jo English, Rodney McCray, Larry Krystkowiak, Corey Williams, Scott Williams, Stacey King and Brad Sellers. (Unless someone can point me in the direction of an official card release with them in Bulls uniform and auto)

Anyway, I'll be sending a minimum of 2 cards to each player, if I have success, I'll pass on the extras to OCT.

Got back kershaw, Johnson, and Stockton.

Doesn't look like Watt is replying anymore as he has a deal with a memorabilia company.
