My earliest batch since the league started was sent on 7/29. I asked tribetown if those would count and he said yes, so here's my two so far:

Mike Cameron signed 2/2 in 7 days via private address.
Points = 7 (+6 All-Star, +1 Bonus Items)

Frank Tanana signed 7/6 (included custom) in 9 days via private address. Inscribed each one with a bible verse (not sure if that counts as an inscription)
Points (if bible verses count) = 19 (+6 All-Star, +6 Bonus Items, +7 Inscriptions)
Points (if bible verses don't count) = 12 (+6 All-Star, + 6 Bonus Items)

Technically, Bible Verses count. 26 points, wow, an awesome start!

Late to the party.

I got like a million cards (literally) from the junk wax era.

Let me know if there is a player you need

If you want, you could join the league and get some of those signed!

It costs $15 a year, but this is the best site: http://www.sportscollectors.net

You can use the site for free, but I don't think you can see the last time a player responded and some other features.

Here's my first:

Billy Wagner




Retired Players - 3 Points

All Stars/Pro Bowler - 6 Points

Should be worth 9?

From my understanding, it would be 6 points. I thought we agreed that you could choose 1 of those choices. For example, when I got Pat Neshek (current player and all-star), I chose to take 6 points since he is an all-star, instead of 5 for current.

I also have a few questions:

Can we purchase something to get signed TTM? Like if a celebrity/athlete has an online store, can we buy an item and have that count?

Do only current players count for the teams we were randomed, or does it go by what team is listed on the card? Thanks!

That's my understanding as well. Everyone else has used this too.

I didn't agree to this! lol

I think this should be mentioned in the OP somewhere. Stating something like cannot combine All-Star and Retired, All-Star and Current Player, etc.

I have no problem with that, I view it as paying for a signature (Wade Boggs, Al Kaline, etc.)

Do only current players count for the teams we were randomed, or does it go by what team is listed on the card? Thanks!
I believe we are using a player who is currently on that teams roster.

I will add that into the OP. Everyone has been using it so far (as owlsonhats mentioned), so I didn't think we had any misunderstandings. Adding that now. Sorry about that.

So retired players do not count for the teams we were randomized?

It doesn't matter to me. Whatever you guys decide. I just copied and pasted scoring from past years, I'm fine changing it if you guys want.


Randoming teams now.

One reason to only allow current rosters is that we may have expansion teams that have only been around for a decade or less. If that's the case there would be less 100% signers to hit. Using baseball as an example, we all have a 40 man roster to target and that seems more fair.
