How to Get a Card Signed From the Steelers

You might be surprised how easy it can be to obtain autographs of your favorite Pittsburgh Steelers players by mail. Many, but not all, active players will respond to requests for their signature if you write them at the team's address and include a card to be signed. It's best to write players individually rather than try to get several players' autographs at once, as large requests can get lost in the large mail shuffle.

Things You'll Need

Paper
Football cards
Envelopes
Stamps

Instructions

- 1
  Write a letter to the player whose signature you want to request. Be friendly in the note, and explain to the player why you admire him, listing some of his accomplishments you have enjoyed. Tell him that you have enclosed a card, and ask that he sign it. Be as personable as possible, because many players can see through form letters if you mass-mail the same note to many players.
- 2
  Put together a self-addressed stamped envelope (usually called an SASE). This is key because players will not pay to mail your card back to you. Write your address on both the area for the recipient and return address to ensure this envelope will be returned to you, and place a first-class stamp on the envelope. Players can put your card in this envelope, and it will be ready to mail back.
- 3
  Place the card to be signed, the letter and the SASE into an envelope.
- 4
  Mail the envelope to Pittsburgh Steelers, 3400 South Water St., Pittsburgh, PA 15203. Add an "ATTN" line with the player's name for easier sorting.
