Remember the other week I said I'd sent off requests to a few players and Frank Ramsey being one of them? Well he must have signed the day he got it and walked to the mailbox and posted it. I guess he like the letter I wrote to him?

Ramsey doesn't have any cert autos apart from the action packed series that i know of?

He is getting on now and is 75 or so. A little while ago he survived a twister by hiding in a closet and afterwards that and the chimney and the closet were the only things left. His house and all its champs rings, photos and trophys were gone :(

And signed perfectly on the spot win GREEN marker! =D> =D> =D>

WOW
How nice was that!
That is really cool
Those are the sort of things that make the hobby great!
Thanks Chad
 
SUPER FAST!!!

Love the green he used, great to see he's spreading the love with green.

That's unreal Chadly ol chap!

Congrats!

So what's on the back of the card? Does it mention him at all, or did you just feel that was a great card to get signed - which it is! Looks superb now with the green siggy, that's awesome!
 
I send in those skybox logo cards coz they show the sigs so well. I have Cousy, Cowens, Nelson, Ramsey on them. It also gives room to personalize it too. That makes it so much better.

I sent a Bucks logo to Bogut in the hopes of a "To Chad" one too.

They just have team info on the back.

$1.85 well spent and one of my favs in my PC now :-)
 
thats awesome chad, well done! the green pen is a bonus, makes it all the more special. see thats why i want to get into this TTM auto collecting, you can get some great rare autos!

its funny how a 75 year old man can sign so meticulously and neatly, yet these young bucks today can barely scribble some shonky looking initials! i guess thats a benefit of TTMing, these older players dont get the opportunity to sign so much so when they recieve a nice letter and a some recognition of their service to their club and the game, theyre happy to sign and actually take some effort in signing.
 
I've got
2 x Cousy (To Chad)
Tommy Heinsohn
Dave Cowens
Larry Bird
Bob Pettit
Dolph Schayes
Kevin Mchale
Don Chaney
Bill Sharman
Dave Bing
Ed Macualey
Jerry West
Adrian Dantley
Frank Ramsey
Elgin Baylor

Had a sort of success with Red Auerbach but he signed to my mate instead :-(

heaps of the 90's Celtics players (Barros, Fox etc)

My bro has had a heap of success with Lakers players over the years too. He would have 30+ ttm autos of them.
 
I agree with the green pen man, that looks super cool. Almost looks like it came out of a pack! Probably couldnt have signed it any closer to "the spot" if you were sitting there telling him how to do it.

Terrific addition to the collection - very very cool :D
 
That's amazing, what a great bloke for doing that.
I didn't think that most people would be up for that.
How did you get most of their address? Did you send them
a return postpack?
You must be so stoked!!!:D
 
I'll be adding a guide to TTM autos when Magic goes ahead and makes the FAQ/info forum like he said he would where all the info stickys etc will go into to make the site a little cleaner.

I have mostly home addresses and send there with a sase here or to a mate in the US.

I'm pretty stoked with it yeah. I just got an email from a mate in Canada too and he is sending me the one cert auto Ramsey has too! What a great old school auto day.

We could only wish the current players took as much pride and put as much thought into their sigs and the placement on cards.
 
What about that idiot that signed the top loader the guy sent the card in (it was on Beckett sometime back)

Hilarious!
