A few TTMs back this week

I'm going to try and make a better effort to send out TTMs, not only baseball, but football, too.  So far, so good this year!  Here are two back this week:

Mail Day!!!

I recently sent out some TTM requests to players home addresses.  I send out 5 and got 4 back already!

This is an exciting return!  I have quite a few of his cards, and it was hard to choose what to send for a TTM request!  He didn't have a great season last year, but here's to hoping he has a turn around year in 2019!!

Jeff Jackson is a former 1st round draft pick of the Phillies.  He spend his career in the minors, never making a major league roster.  I loved these 1990 Score cards!

This last one is a nice addition to my Cubs TTM collection.  Manny won 2 World Series rings; one with Oakland and one with the Phillies.  He was with the Cubs on two different occasions during his career, totally 7 years with the team.

Weekly TTM's

It's about time some little white envelopes started coming in.  I have been sending out quite a bit of requests lately, and they were coming in at a regular rate, but now, they've slowed way down.  

Brad Brach is currently with the Orioles.  He's their closer, and he was an All Star in 2016.

This next one was a request from last year.  Corey Spangenberg is currently with the Padres.  He was sent to the minors briefly this year, but currently serves as a bench player for the Padres.

Weekend TTMs

A few more PWE's from spring training.  They are trickling in, which is better than no responses at all. 

Colton Murray is a non-roster invitee with the Tampa Bay Rays.  So far in spring training, he's pitched in 5 games with a 6.23 ERA.  Unfortunately, it looks as if my letter was dropped in a water puddle, because the envelope soaked through onto the card.  You can see it if you look at the lower left corner.

The second envelope was from Vance Worley.  He's in spring training with the Reds as a non-roster invitee.  He currently has a 1-1 record, with a 7.27 ERA.  As you can see, he crossed out the Twins logos on the card.  I looked for the rationale, but all I've seen is "apparently" he didn't enjoy his time in Minnesota.

Trey Mancini

When I opened a box of 2016 Bowman, this was one of the first cards out of the packs, and I liked the way the card looked, and I really wanted to take a shot to see if I could get an autograph on it.  Well, I was lucky to get this one back over the weekend.  Trey Mancini spent most of the year in AA and AAA, where he hit a combined 20 HR.  He did get a September call up, where he did well, hitting .357.

Bob Melvin

Got a few PWE's back yesterday.  I was so excited because they are few and far between these days.  School and interviewing for jobs has left me little time to do TTM and trading.  I'm falling behind on my goal of 50 TTMs this year.

This was one I sent out last summer, to A's manger Bob Melvin.  Another Orioles card to add to the collection!

I was excited to get this back last week; mail from David Segui.  He currently lives in Kansas City, KS, right across the river!  I wanted to add some more Orioles to my TTM collection, and he helped me out!

I received a couple of TTMs after Christmas, and I'm now just finally getting time to get these up!  I recently bought a notebook computer and ditched my desktop, so now I'm trying to figure out how to use everything and transfer everything over.  The scanning was tricky, but I think I have it figured out.
