Niklas Hjalmarsson

Mailed on 10/18/09 and received 4/2 back on 10/28/09. Great return from one of my favorite Blackhawks! Niklas Hjalmarsson is one of the best young d-men I've ever seen. You have to watch the Hawks to appreciate what Hjalmarsson does. He is so cool with the puck and never gets out hustled. He is so solid on the blue line. These autographs look amazing and I'm so happy. Cards were mailed to the Blackhawks.

Hjalmarsson is my favorite Blackhawk also. I just stumbled upon this whole TTM thing. Couple of basic questions come to mind.........
1) What's the limit for number of cards you send to one person in one mailing? I'm assuming 2 or 3.
2) Do they ever not return the cards?
3) Do you send them in a toploader?

Thanks!

1) it kind of depends on how many cards you send. for current guys I usually send 2-3 but for older guys I do about up to 5. 3 is a good number though.

2) Oh all to often you don't get your cards back. Lots of guys don't sign TTM but for hockey in general, I would say the majority of guys are nice enough to sign through the mail.

3) Sometimes I do send cards in a toploader but they are heavy and are tough to send. A good way to send cards is put your cards in a soft plastic sleeve then use two index cards to protect the cards. The damage will be minimal if you do it right.

good luck and email me if you need more help.
