Zach Daniels

 A TTM back from this summer.  I actually traded or bought this card thinking he was an Iowa Hawkeye alumni, but I got the wrong Zach Daniels!

TTM x2

 I hope this means I'm back in the TTM game a little bit.  I have always liked the 1990's minor league cards.  I think they look great autographed!

Surprisingly, a few PWEs from TTM requests

A few PWE TTM requests back, despite "rona" trying to ruin everything.  Hell, "rona" is ruining everything.  At my hospital, I have taken care of COVID-19 patients and PUIs.  Kansas City has been ok so far, but we are waiting for the influx of patients to happen.  I got one back from Will Smith that I had written off, and one back from this years brief Spring Training.

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!

It's been a slow TTM summer

I guess it's really my own fault, I haven't been able to send out many TTM envelopes due to an increase in job hours.  But, I have gotten to back in the last couple of months.  Slow, but it's better than none.

Taylor Trammell

Finally!  I got a TTM back this week!  I have been ramping up my efforts this season, and my little PWEs come back in waves, and, quite frankly, it's been thin lately.  Taylor Trammell is in the Reds system.  He was chosen for the Futures Game this year during the All Star break, and was named the MVP.

This week's PWE's

Two PWE's back this week.  My ratio is this year is not very good, but it's getting better...five out this week, two back in.

Reese McGuire

This one came back last week from Spring Training 2017!  Reese was a non-roster invitee back in 2017.  He spent 2017 at three different levels in the Blue Jays system.  This year, he's starting at Buffalo, the Blue Jays Triple A team.

A handful of TTM's back

I haven't had time to dig out from under my desk to post these in a timely manner.  However, I'm hoping to do more TTM's (it's already July!) and more trades to round out the summer.


First, Creighton Blue Jay Alumni Dave McKay.  He's currently the first base coach for the Diamondbacks.

This was an awesome return.  He must have signed this right before he was called up to the Giants.  I was surprised he didn't make the Giant's roster out of spring training.

Marty Cordova

I really never had any of these Classic Best cards; I only bought one pack, because if I remember right, they were pricey.  I like the look of the card and I had read that Mr. Cordova was a great signer.
