Tracy Woodson

I'm so excited to have these TTM cards back from Tracy Woodson.  I have forgotten how much I love the 1989 Score design; simple and basic.  Plus the blue signature looks great with the blue on the cards and the Dodger blue uni.

My first TTM back from this years AFL

I only sent three TTM requests to the Arizona Fall League this year.  I couldn't find any cards of the players there very quickly, nor could I turn around a trade for some TTM cards very quickly.  My first one back is from Royce Lewis, Twins prospect.

I also got cards back from probably the best TTM signer out there, Pat Neshek.  I am trying to get one card of every team he's been on, and have a page(s) dedicated to him in my TTM binder.  He sent everything back but my 2015 Topps Gold Astros card.  He also included some cards from his collection!

More TTM mail!

Quite a few envelopes back again this week.  

Bryson Brigman is in the Marlins minor league system.  He was traded to the Marlins from the Mariners at the trade deadline last year.  I sent this request to the Arizona Fall League.  I sent one card and got three back!

Next up is one I had long written off.  I sent this to Dave Hansen when he was a coach with the Dodgers.  I think this is a new record for how many days it took to get this back!

Another one back from the AFL.  This one was from Indians prospect Rob Kaminsky.  He's a non-roster invitee to Indians Spring Training this year.

Little White Envelopes

Ah, nothing like a huge USPS blip (this may be a conversation for another post) to fill my mailbox with a ton of little white envelopes that have probably been sitting at my post office for a week.  Three of four came on the same day.

Ricky Horton is probably best known for pitching for the Cardinals.  He played in a total of 3 World Series (2 with the Cardinals, 1 with the Dodgers), and won a ring with the Dodgers in 1988.  I think these are all nice looking cards.

I sent these next cards out in May of 2013, so needless to say, I had written them off long ago.  However, I did get my cards back from Mike Henneman, but he now uses The Athlete Connection, LLC to handle his autograph requests.  I did get this black and white paper photo in my little white envelope.

Finally, Aramis Garcia.  He's a catcher in the Giants organization.  He spent most of the year between A and Aa ball this year.  He did get an invite to play in the AFL.
