Another TTM Success From Jose Cruz

With a $20 in my wallet for some reason, I decided to pull four more cards out of my boxes and send to Jose Cruz again.  He signs for $5.00/card.
I added the 1986 Topps Astros Leaders at the top, and the above 1972, 1978 and 1980 Topps.  All of the cards look nice. 

I met some of the Cruz family this past summer when I saw Jose, Jr. and Trei Cruz in Erie.  I'd liked to have met Jose, Sr., as well, but he didn't make the trip.

I mailed to Cruz on October 10 and got the cards back on October 22, for a 12-day TAT. 

Final 2024 50-50 Returns From Jack G

My friend Jack in Augusta sent me back an bunch of cards that he got signed for me this past season.  I helped him with guys who came through Kinston, and he helped me with some guys who came through his area.  
I still had a few John Habyan cards left over from last season.  Jack took them and finished them all off for me.  I may be out of Habyan now, but I sincerely doubt it, given the amount of junk wax cards that I have.
I had a ton of Grant Holmes cards in the Box-of-Shame since I missed him when I saw Rome in Hickory last season.
These are all of the different Holmes cards that Jack finished off for me.
Sergio Santos was another coach who I was able to finally get finished off.  He only did a couple for me when I saw him with Hudson Valley. 
I probably still have a ton of Dick Schofield, but Jack definitely made a dent in the Box-of-Shame.
I'm surprised I had this many different Schofields left, since I did see him a couple times in the last few years. 
Finally, here are the Daryle Ward cards I got back.  I had a ton of him, as well. 

Thanks for getting these done for me, Jack!
