TTM Success - Mike Cameron

I got a really cool TTM from a recently retired player when I got these cards in from former player, Mike Cameron.  I was really excited to get these back because those two Topps 206 cards really turned out great.  They were the first ones I was able to get signed, and man, do they look awesome.
Getting Cameron also helped with my Topps Autograph Project.  I added more cards from 2001, 2002 and 2003, and they all came out great.  I asked Cameron for a Gold Glove inscription, but I didn't get one.  He was probably so busy, he didn't catch that in my note.  The cards came out grea, regardless.
Cameron (b. 1973) played in the majors from 1995 to 2011 for the White Sox, Mariners, Mets, Padres, Brewers, Red Sox and Marlins.  He had 1,700 hits, 278 home runs and a career average of .249.  He was an All Star in 2001 and was a three-time Gold Glove Award winner (2001, 2003 and 2006).  He finished as high as 16th in the MVP voting in 2001.

I sent the cards to Cameron on March 28 and got them back on April 11 for a 14-day TAT.
