Received letter back from Cal Ripken's Donations Coordinator - can't/won't even send a signed photo - big disappointment because I know his would have brought in "big bucks" for us. I have already had a couple people tell me that they would "get a 2nd mortgage" to bid on anything from him. Oh well, maybe he just doesn't "like horses/animals". Big, big disappointment. :cry: :cry: Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm not exactly sure what it is you are doing but I am assuming trying to get stuff for a charity auction? If I'm wrong then you can quit reading here, lol,. My sister is part of a non-profit organization and they were able to get the entire Carolina Hurricanes team sign a jersey for free for her auction. I also know many minor league baseball teams are always willing to sign stuff for charity.

All autographs I have collected are for a Charity auction. The money is going to a childrens hospice called ACORNS which is a wonderful place

Yeah, Cal tends to not sign much anymore... Luckily I called his agent, and I got an autographed book from him 60 days later. 1 month 29 days.

Hi horserescue :)

Sorry for your failure :?

Maybe you could try again and call them: (410) 823-0808
Fax: (410) 823-0850

700 letters without SASE is 700 x $0.42 = $294 + 700 x 15 minutes per letter = 175 hours - Success Rate under 40%
700 phone calls (before sending you autograph request) = 0$ + 700 x 5 minutes per call = 59 hours - Success Rate 95%

Good luck {up}
