Cont. that the pros have people called copy signers who sign it for them because their always so busy. Do you think that thats true so I shouldn't bother sending them in or should I send them in because even if they are copysigned I can't prove it so I'll never know and they are cool to collect. any thoughts? please help!!!

If you really don't care, then go ahead and send them in. I think most pros would sign it personally anyway. The bigger thing I would worry about is that there are a lot of athletes who don't sign through the mail and who won't even send your card back. Because of this, make sure you are willing to lose the card before sending it. If the card is special before it's signed, try to get it signed personally.

Actually, most professionals answer their fan mail themselves. Some don't,however. My suggestion would be to mail to the person at the professional franchise you want the autograph of. It'll take a few weeks to get them back cause of the schedules of the athlete might be in conflict with other engagements they have.
As for the copysigners issue, I've not had a problem with it yet. However, some professionals pay the copysigners to sign it for them just so they don't have to mess with us the fans. Just remember to thank them for taking the time to autograph the card when you send it in. Always do that. They appreciate that more than you'll ever know. My recommendation would be to only send also a minimum of 1 card per athlete and max of 3 cards per athlete. Don't get carried away ! They don't like to have to sign too many cards from a certain individual. Be very cautious there.

Athletes have had proxy signers since the days of Babe Ruth! Many people have been pretty disappointed in the last 5-10 years in the age of high tech authentication. They have discovered that their autograph wasn't from the player.
Also, with everybody using Ebay for a quick buck many of the big name stars know that their signature is worth a pretty penny and won't sign much to keep it that way!
Personally I'd do it... it sounds like fun! Good Luck!

Write them a letter, most of them will sign like 500 small pics or cards and they have people send you those and a letter thanking you for your intrest, dont send one or your own cards unless its a cheap one. I used to do this when i was young, you get something back like 3 out of ten maybe.

If you want to get superstars this way, you'll probably be disappointed (or deceived, but may never know it).
Bench players may not be so difficult. They get far less fan mail.
Important: players are under NO obligation to return anything you send them, so don't send anything you are afraid of losing.
