TTM Success - George Theodore

Another 1974 Topps was added to the autograph album when this card came back signed from George Theodore. 

The Stork inscribed the card to me with best wishes and a "The Stork" inscription. The top two lines got fouled up a bit.  I think it was because some residual wax was on the surface of the card.

Theodore (b. 1946) played in the majors in 1973 and 1974 for the Mets.  He had 42 hits, 2 home runs and a .219 batting average. 

I mailed to Theodore on September 30 and got the card back on October 9, for a 9-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Glen Condren

Here is another football card that I picked up at the National this year, then sent out for TTM.  This Glen Condren card turned out nicely. 

Condren (b. 1942) played professionally from 1965 to 1967 and 1969 to 1972 for the Giants and Falcons.  He was an 11th round pick in the 1964 draft by the Giants out of the University of Oklahoma.

I mailed to Condren on August 7 and got the card back on October 6 for a 60-day TAT.

TTM Success - Rich Aude

Look! It's a 1995 Fleer.  The crazy set that looks like the designers were on acid makes another appearance.  I got this card back signed TTM by Rich Aude.  I do enjoy this set in all its weirdness, and was happy to add another one to the autograph album. 

I also added a 1995 Pinnacle and 1990 ProCards.  

Aude (b. 1971) played in the majors in 1993, 1995 and 1996 for the Pirates.  He had 34 hits, 2 home runs and a .225 batting average. 

I mailed to Aude on April 16 and got the cards back on October 4 for a 171-day TAT.

TTM Success - Jon Coutlangus

A couple 2007 cards that I had been holding into for a while finally got sent out, then came back signed.  For whatever reason, I held these two Jon Coutlangus cards.  I don't remember if there was a lull in his signing habits or if I mistakenly thought he charged.  I finally got the cards out and they came back signed in blue.

I had sent off his 2007 Topps Rookie 52 and his 2007 Topps Chrome.

Coutlangus (b. 1980) played for the Reds in 2007.  He went 4-2 with 38 strike outs and a 4.39 ERA.

I mailed to him on September 5 and got the cards back on September 26 for a 21-day TAT. 

Max Helps With An Auto

My buddy Max has been very busy lately with things beyond graphing, so he hasn't been able to take as many cards this year like he had before. Still, i was excited when he asked me to send him some Addison Russell cards for a signing.  I found 4 cards (if I remember correctly), and got this 2016 Topps Opening Day back signed.  Russell has a cool autograph. 

Russell (b. 1994) played in the majors from 2015 to 2019 for the Cubs.  He had 480 hits, 60 home runs and a .242 batting average. He was an All Star in 2016 and finished 19th in the NL MVP race that season.  He won the World Series with the Cubs in 2016.

Thanks for helping me add this card to the autograph album, Max!

TTM Success - Johnny Sutton

This 1979 Topps of Johnny Sutton came back signed in black Sharpie recently. I had never heard of Sutton, which, it the main purpose of why I send these cards out in the first place.

Sutton (b. 1952) celebrates a birthday today.  He played in the majors in 1977 and 1978 for the Cardinals and Twins.  He jad a record of 2-1 with 27 strike outs and a 3.15 ERA.

I mailed to Sutton on August 29 and got the card back on September 26 for a 28-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Kevin Whelan

A couple older Bowman cards came back signed TTM from Kevin Whelan.  The above 2006 Bowman Chrome turned out really well, even though the scan shows the card being very dark.

This 2011 Bowman also turned out nicely.

Whelan (b. 1984) played in the majors in 2011 and 2014 for the Yankees and Tigers.  His major league experience consisted of three games.  He had a 0-0 record with 2 strike outs and a 9.00 ERA.

I mailed to Whelan on August 19 and got the cards back on September 18 for a 30-day TAT.
