100

I am kinda a big nerd, and I have a spread sheet where I keep track of what cards I send out and the dates.  If you follow my blog, you know I had an incident last summer where my spread sheet got deleted, went MIA, whatever.  Anyway, I keep track of what I send to the big leagues, minor leagues, home addresses, and other categories.  I received this week my 100th TTM from home address mailings.  I have a 69% success rate from TTM home address mailings.  I don't think that's too bad! 

Chris Donnels is someone I had tried to send TTM to once before, but it came back as return to sender.  Well, after looking at Sports Card Forum, I discovered his new address.  I really wanted to get his signature to add to my Mets pages.

Brandon Beachy from Spring Training

Wow!  One that I thought was long gone from Spring Training this year showed up in my mailbox from Brandon Beachy of the Braves.  Beachy is rehabbing in the minors from Tommy John surgery last June.  He only has a few more starts to make before he rejoins the dangerous Braves!  I might have to look at him as a waiver wire pick up in fantasy baseball!

Another trade with hpennington22

I got another hook-up via Zistle from hpennington22.

Cubbies!

 

Mets!

Mark McGwire!

2011 Bowman!

Royals!

Bob Boone again!

I received cards back from Bob Boone today.  This was the second time I have gotten a return from him, however, this time was longer than the last time.   This TTM request was a victim of my lost spread sheet, but it was somewhere around a year to get this back.

Koji Uehara

I also got another return from Koji Uehara.  He's currently in Boston's bullpen.  I was worried about sending the Cognac card; I wasn't sure if the autograph would take or not, but it looks great!

Rex Hudler

I got another return from Royals TV guy Rex Hudler.  This time, he kept one of my cards, which is totally fine!  He's signing mail on the road because this envelope came from California.

Ryan Roberts

I got a few returns this week, one of them from Florida, courtesy of Ryan Roberts.  I don't have many Diamondback signed cards, so this will be great for my collection!
