A recent comment on one of my old posts passed on some good insight from an avid collector. He has a few blogs, notably posting his collection of Hall of Famer autographs at Collecting Cooperstown. Here is what he passed on...

Hi Ben, nice blog! Just in case you haven't heard of it, there's an extensive TTM database on www.sportscardforum.com that lets anyone look up addresses to acquire baseball and other autographs. Members get access to lots more TTM features. I don't do the TTM thing myself but I am a staffer on sportscardforum.com. It's free to become a member and if you collect sports cards, this is the site that gets the most traffic. I've been a member since December, 2003. Sorry about spamming the site but I hope the TTM database helps you in your autograph quest.
ReplyDeleteI also happen to live in Pasadena, love baseball and I also went to the Dodger Caravan at Trader Joe's in February, 2010. I also blogged about it on my andystadium.com blog.

Awesome, thanks for the tip. It looks like a great site, I'll add the link to mine.
