You've found the elusive rookie card of your favorite player and you want to get it signed. The most effective way to get it done is through the mail.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Search the phone book or the Internet for the team's mailing address.

  2. Step 2

    Send the card to the player with a self-addressed, stamped return envelope to help ensure that the card actually comes back.

  3. Step 3

    Include a brief note, such as: "Dear player, would you please sign the enclosed card and return it to me in the enclosed envelope? Thanks, your greatest fan."

Tips & Warnings
  • Send two cards and indicate in your letter that one is for the player to keep for his personal collection. Often, the first place that players see a new card is in their fan mail, and although it's unfair, players typically will just keep a new card.
  • Some players are very diligent about answering their mail, others let letters pile up for months, and still others never answer their mail at all.
