Kind of surprised this came back RTS since I've seen all the recent successes from him. Maybe he just got overwhelmed. Sent on 6/1/13 and it came back 6/25/13.

Sent to:

Mr. Ralph Kiner
200 Bradley Place # 204
Palm Beach, FL 33480

DON'T listen to the Admin and send to the Hall of Fame. He wont get it if you send it there. Ralph is VERY hit and miss. It all depends on what side of the bed he wakes up on any given day. Something I noticed on a site that is used by serious collectors, the last 3 or 4 successes from him have included a cash donation. I know yours wasn't opened, but maybe he is a better signer if you send some cash with it since everyone writes to him because he was such a good signer. There were some who sent to him and didnt enclude any cash, and they havent received theirs back. Also, did you double check the address that you used, since the sticker says "unable to forward." From what I can read, you have (800) as the house number, right? Thats not the right house number for him. Good Luck and Happy Collecting

Thanks for the info, Chad. I won’t be sending to the HOF; I think I’m going to wait and send to his home address again when I see a few successes pop up. I did have the correct address, 200 Bradley Place # 204, it just looks like 800 when the scribbled out address. I actually did enclose a $5 donation since most of the recent successes I saw on SCF had that sent along. I guess I didn’t write “donation enclosed” on the envelope but I’m a little hesitant on doing that…maybe I will when I give him another shot.

Congrats on your success! I'll probably give him another shot if I see some more recent successes.

Don't put a return address on the envelope so he can't RTS it and include the cash. Worked for me.

i agree on the don't listen to the admin on the ones that tell you to send to the hall of fame on any of the players. the hall of fame does not forward any mail to the players. some of the addresses that are on this site are not worth even sending to. that is why i started to do my own homework, and make sure i find a working address.to the OP good luck on sending it again. hopefully you get it signed.
