The failures this month are of two Sports Illustrated magazines. Both were somewhat on a wing and a prayer. In fact, I barely had an address for one.
I sent the American Pharaoh 6/15/15 cover to Bob Baffert (the horse’s trainer). Unfortunately there really isn’t a good way to get an address for Bob. I’m trying something with a jockey for another horse and if that works out I may resend this. My research for Bob’s address didn’t turn up much. I could only get a street name and city. That was either not enough or maybe he’s moved.
The other return I got was from Kate Upton. This was her 10/7/13 cover with the Upton brothers where they were all in Atlanta Braves uniforms. I’ve sent to both the Upton brothers with no luck so I thought Kate would be the more interesting/quirky part of the magazine if I could get it. According to my research I sent to what might be her management, but no love there.
Thanks for visiting BravestarrCards.com: Card Collecting and TTM Autographs.
Hey,
what address did you use for Kate Upton? And why did you write you got a success from her and also you send to her management, but no love there? 🙂 So, success or not? 🙂
I really want her autograph too. Did you write her something nice?
Thanks, Todd
I sent it to her twice and the first was a failure. The failure was c/o IMG New York. The success was c/o The Lion Model Management LLC.
Thank you Bill. Did you write a long letter or something special?
Todd
I don’t think I wrote anything super special. I have a pretty standard two paragraph format that I use. I think I probably wrote maybe 2-3 sentences specific to her and then I probably commented on the Astros because Verlander was in the World Series around then.
