Hi guys. 

Finally joined and figured out how to post. 

Jealous and inspired by some of the collections here to start ttm collecting again. I stopped during covid as was not getting many replies (understandably) and due to health reasons. 

I wonder if anyone can help. I have used fan mail biz in the past. I see someone has posted a success from the amazing England player Terry butcher for example. Im just wondering if you guys could advise where you would be able to source addresses such as these? 

Any help I would appreciate as itsxbeen a long time. I had mixed success in the past but saw my returns slow down a lot and gave up. 

Thank you and happy new year to all. May your mailboxes flow during 2026.

For ex Ipswich town players I've always sent a letter directly to the club addressed FAO (who it's for) and I've had no problems getting a reply....hope this helps

Hi Robin

Welcome to the group and Happy New Year to you

I get most of my address from StarTiger.  It cost about $6 per month but also allows you to track your requests so well worth the money IMO.  Its more for general celebrities rather than being focused on sports though.

I don't have a current address for Butcher but if you are after anyone who I have posted recent replies from then I'm always happy to help 

is it just football you collect or anything else?

Thanks for the helpful replies guys. 

Serena I've subscribed to startiger. 

I kind of go in phases football yes. 

Was looking for butcher to start so will see if Ipswich works as he's been a long time want from me. 

I'll post any successes on the forum.
