Autographs Through The Mail

View:

Whether you are a fan of tennis or you simply enjoy collecting sports autographs, sending your requests through the mail will save you both time and money. Because the majority of sports also have a Hall of Fame that recognizes it's most outstanding players, many fans have found great success in requesting autographs in their care. Tennis, like most other popular sports, has a Hall of Fame that features inductees from past to present.

If you would like to send an autograph request, be sure to include your return address in the upper left hand corner of the envelope and also include a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with enough postage for your signed item to be returned. Below is a list of all living inductees of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, along with the mailing address in which to send your requests.

Now that you know who to write to and where to send the letter, it's time to consider what type of autograph you want to request. Many fans simply ask their favorite tennis player to send a signed photo, but others get more creative with sending their own tennis memorabilia to be signed. One popular example is a tennis ball, which can be shipped inexpensively and will make for a terrific addition to any autograph collection. Some fans also prefer to send blank index cards, t-shirts, trading cards, amateur photos that they have taken of their favorite tennis star or other sports-related memorabilia.

It's important to note that many tennis players are more than willing to accommodate their fans with autograph requests. It is equally important that, due to time and scheduling, tennis fans be patient with their favorite athlete(s) who are always on the go and receive a lot of fan mail. There is no way to guarantee who will or will not sign autographs, but a kindly worded letter, a SASE and sending one or two items to be signed will greatly increase the chances of success. It's a good idea to never send more than two items to be autographed and always be polite in your request. Happy collecting!

Autographs Through The Mail

If you are an NBA fan, then you are probably an avid collector of sports memorabilia. One of the most popular types of NBA collectibles are those that feature an autograph from the sport's top athletes. When sold from a specialty store, autographs are often outside of the price range for many and there are sometimes concerns surrounding their authenticity. Therefore, one of the most popular and least expensive ways to collect autographs is through the mail. The best part of all is that the only cost involved is that of postage stamps.

NBA athletes, in general, are often very accommodating to their fans and are commonly happy to sign an autograph. The best place to reach an NBA player is through their franchise team, which will not frequently change addresses and is therefore the most reliable way of making sure that your fan mail reaches its intended destination.

During the height of their career, many NBA athletes are swamped with autograph requests. Therefore, it can often be difficult to respond to each letter individually or even in a timely manner. Therefore, patience is the key when collecting NBA autographs through the mail. When requesting an autograph, always send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with enough postage to accommodate the return mailing costs. If you are sending your own NBA collectible to be signed, including a photo or trading card, make sure that the envelope size will accommodate the item without it having to be bent. If you are sending a larger collectible, you may need to ship the item in a box to ensure safe delivery and always be sure to include the actual return postage and not cash to cover the costs of mailing.

You can always reach an NBA athlete in care of their franchise team. In addition, listed below are the addresses of the Dance Teams for each NBA franchise. The dance squads will often send posters, signed and/or unsigned, to fans who request them.
