Here is a bit from Minnesota Twins pitcher Pat Neshek's website.
Monday, July 16 7/16/07 When I returned home the other day I found the mail pile to be the most I have seen in quite some time. I got through all the letters and they are heading back if you sent return postage. Most of the letters were auto request with photos, cards, indexes and other things. If you ever need anything signed, send it over with a SASE. Speaking of the letters I thought this would be a good time to go over some of the basics. The easiest is if you want something back you must include a SASE otherwise known as a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope. If this is missing I'm sorry but you probably aren't going to get anything back. I have a box of stuff that is basically all no SASE items...baseballs, cards, oddball things. I hate not being able to return people's items but I've had over 100 of these and can't sit in PO lines and buy stamps for people I don't know. Two, Don't include money for postage, got a couple that threw in $5 and told me to ship a package back...go to the post office, package up a return envelope and buy stamps, it's easy. Three, don't ask me to get items signed by my teammates...yes I get a couple of these every day. Four, try to keep the letters as short as you can be. If you are reading this right now and are going to send me a letter for something to sign something with just "please sign my card, thanks" is a dream to read. As always you can send me anything you need to get signed and you will most likely get it back quick if you follow the above. I can knock out about 200 letters a day if they are just auto request. It's the problem letters that really slow me down.

Hey, just wondering, how should you send one out, should it be in a top loader with a regular envelope or what? Can the SASE be smaller than the envelops, should the card be in a penny sleeve? Can anyone help answer these questions please?

*READ BEFORE TRADING PLEASE* Right now my parents aren't letting me do much much trades because of the postage expense so if you want to trade I'm either gonna need a bubble mailer (that I can reuse, meaning glueing a white piece or paper on and being able to have space for stamps) or stamps inside or maybe a dollar or two in the bubble mailer to cover expenses. Please try to understand. We might be able to work something out if it's something really good. Include "WILLHELPCUTDOWNPOSTAGEFORMZHANG13" in additional notes in a proposed trade or I will not agree to the deal. Also, if trading I expect you to send first.
Finally got a photobucket with a few of my cards: http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/aa179/mzhang13_cards/
I have a vast collection of strictly baseball cards. Sadly, not much autos or GUs, but a few star rookies and inserts. If you need any cards send me a message and I'll check my collection.
Right now I'm trying to get rid of a $15 lot of 05-06 Topps basketball cards and a few football cards.
I always want good autos and good GUs (especially Red Sox and Nomar Garciaparra).Good Traders List: oneoftheguys - completely returned the cash will a free card when he couldn't find the card I bought
