late last year i decided to partake in a private signing organized by chris potter sports. they had a laundry list of players who would be participating, and after much thought, i pared down my list of players to three. although i know wish i had sent in a couple of cards for george scott. anyway, it was three dodgers that made the cut.
i received my cards back the other day and i am very pleased. here's duke sims and his awesomely fantastic 1971 o-pee-chee card:
here's the only non-dodger card i sent in - a 1978 topps don stanhouse
i've had a ttm success with ted sizemore in the past, but i'm not sure if i will send the card above out or not.
my experience, the first i've had with chris potter sports, was a good one. i will definitely be on the lookout for more signings that they host, although i probably won't go in on the current one - i can't quite bring myself to pony up the $185 for dr. mike marshall to sign a 1974 topps traded card.

I have only good things to say about Chris Potter Sports too.
Like you, I'm passing on good ole' Dr. Mike Marshall - if I had some legitimate expectation of being able to obtain an autograph from everyone else who ever played for the Mets, maybe I could bring myself to spend $185 to get him to sign a card...
Yep, Chris has helped me knock a few Orioles off my list over the past few years.
And I'm glad I don't need Marshall, what a sham!
When I first joined facebook, I friended Duke Sims along with a dozen or so 60s-80s players. I messaged him once and he answered a question, but it just felt weird. I later purged my friend list and all baseball players got cut except Ron Kittle and Warren Cromartie. I have never asked Ron for anything, I hear his a great TTM guy, just don't expect him to sign your 1984 Topps card, but I did ask Warren if I could send along some items. He gave me a PO box address, but after sending the items and waiting a long time and several messages to him asking if he would return the items (signed or not), I finally got him to answer me that the package apparently was stolen from his residence!
So much for using FB to get autographs for this guy!!
