The western junior guys are pretty good I've had lots of IP successes with them over the years good to see they are just as good TTM

Shelby,
WoW!
You really seem to clean up.
You send out (and receive) a ton.
How do you( or any of you folks) find the time to do so?
I love the hobby and have for many years but must admit it is pretty time consuming.
Especially if you are one who does TTM and IPs.
There is researching, collecting the materials (cards, photos,pucks or whatever you get signed) and writing letters and sending. Plus heading to the arenas, hotels and card shows for the in persons.
Do you have a spouse or significant other?
What do they think of it?
My lady has her moments...
Sometimes is interested, sometimes tolerates it.
Thanks for any insight.

Thank you Polarmist.
I have sent out a lot of envelopes over time - I tend to send them in bunches when I have time. I wish I could get more autos in person but rarely have the opportunity now. My family sometimes tag along so that helps.
I love sending to the older players as well as the juniors (some who will be future stars - others - well it is nice in the collection).
The best times were the charity golf tournaments - I remember coming home with nearly 100 autos. Those days are over seemingly.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me and I hope that I too continue to help those of you on here!

Cool on the Ellis and the Kelly.
I managed to send out a whack of stuff start of this month so hope I start seeing them in the mailbox.
Thanks for the input there.

My pleasure.
I am going to dare to send out a card that has been signed by Charlie Hodge and Ron Ellis. I will send it to Henri Richard - probably the most reliable signer but wish me luck.
