Boxing Addresses
Remember, addresses do change. I can't promise that the addresses I give you will always be correct. It is a matter of trial and error. You can consult Dave Dylis who publishes a comprehensive list of addresses and tries hard to keep it up to date(see links) Or you can use Who/Where to find Boxers that have listed Phone numbers. There are also books in libraries which contain addresses. Two which come to mind that can be found in the 900 Section of Referene are " The VIP Addresses Book" and " The Star Guide"
Of course there are several things
to keep in
mind when sending for autographs through
the mail.
First is to make sure you send
a
self-addressesed STAMPED
envelope. Do not
expect the boxer to pay the postage for
you.
Second is to do some research
on this
particular boxer. If he was a good
fighter but never
became more then a contender (like Gerry
Cooney) you
do not want to start your letter off,
" Just a special hint. I look on
the back of
boxing cards and check in Boxing
Magazines and
Websites to find out Boxers' Birthdays.
I then send
a Birthday Card with my autograph
request. To send an autograph request to
another Country
you must follow certain procedures. You
cannot send U.S. postage for the
return item and
you should not send cash. Go to a Post
Office(better
call ahead) and ask for an
International Reply
Coupon It costs $l.05 and you
include it with
your autograph request envelope. Tell
the boxer to
take the International Reply
Coupon to his
Post Office and they will trade it for
the first
class postage of his country. Remember
when you mail
the autograph request to tell your Post
Office it is
for a foreign country. The average cost
to send a
letter to another country is $ .60 to $
1.20.
Remember Canada is a foreign country,
but Puerto Rico
is not! .
I have given you plenty of variety, I
have addresses of foreign boxers, old
boxes, new champions, and even two
former boxers who are incarcerated, and
hppen to be brothers. Thanks for all of
your support, and keep your e-mails and
suggestions coming. As far as te
foreignn boxers-
remember to send an International Reply
Coupon and take your letter to the
counter in the Post Office. You can NOT
mail it with first class U.S. postage.
I just thought I would pass on another
trick I recently learned. (YES EVEN US
Old dogs can learn new tricks. Now
right in the context of the leter I send
to the boxer I ask questions and I leave
room for their answers. This way they
don't have to write a seperate letter to
send to me. Check out my new page
