    Anybody Else Send Out Baseball Cards for Autos?

    Hey guys, last year I started sending out baseball cards to players for autographs, and I was wondering if anyone else here does that on a regular basis? If so, what cards have you gotten back?

    So far I've gotten Josh Fields and Vinny Rottino, and Justin Morneau sent me back a signed postcard of him instead of the baseball card I sent him haha. This spring I've sent out Miguel Montero, Brian Bannister, Ian Kinsler, and a couple other young guys whose names escape me at the moment.

    There used to be a member that used to send things out to get signed and went to spring training and got auto but for the life of me I can't remember who it was.

    I had a friend that did, but he stopped because players would send something else signed and wouldn't even send the unsigned cards back.

    In my personal opinion an autograph is meaningless unless you get it in person.

    Here's my most prized possession, and I got it in person.

    I agree. I also don't trust anyone to send my stuff back either. I don't care if they are famous.
