Hall of Famers' Through the Mail Signing Habits and Information

The players listed below are the living members of the baseball hall of fame. Some have their own websites. Click on their name to go to them. Where I know, I will list the signing fees, if there are any. This list is meant to be of assistance in collecting autographs through the mail. It is not the final answer. I have reported signing fees to the best of my knowledge. They do change from time to time, for example, Monte Irvin recently raised his from the $10 fee. You are responsible for any items you send ttm, I am not claiming any responsibility for players who do not answer their mail.

Jim Rice, Andre Dawson, and Rickey Henderson appear to be the next few guys getting into the hall of fame. Of those Dawson is a great signer. Get him now while he can be had. I believe he charges a fee of $10 for signatures. We will see over the next few months. Rickey Don't Sign! Haha. One of his famous quotes. Rice doesn't sign ttm, but he can still be had at shows for a reasonable price. Good luck. Get them now or you will pay more later!
