TTM Success - Mike Nixon

Another of the cards that Ryan gave me came back signed TTM; this one came in from Mike Nixon.  This is a 2002 Bowman Chrome.  Nixon's auto isn't much, but the card is signed and now in the autograph album. 

Nixon (b. 1983) was a 3rd round pick by the Dodgers in the 2002 June Amateur Draft out of Sunnyslope High School in Arizona.  He played in the Dodgers system from 2002 to 2005, reaching AAA.  He had 308 hits, 11 home runs and a .267 batting average. 

I mailed to Nixon on November 26 and got the card back on June 2 for a 188-day TAT.

TTM Success - Max Kuhns

Something else that I've been trying to do with my cards is to try to get a few team set cards out of my box.  I was successful in getting this 2017 SAL All Star Card of Max Kuhns signed TTM. 

Kuhns (b. 1994) was a 21st round pick by the Mets in the 2016 June Amateur Draft out of Santa Clara University.  He played in the minors in 2016 through 2019 and 2023 in the Mets and Phillies systems.  He had a record of 2-4 with 99 strike outs and a 5.20 ERA.

I mailed to Kuhns on May 6 and got the card back on May 29 for a 23-day TAT.

TTM Success - Kevin Hooper

As I said before, I did a purge of sorts of my older prospect cards.  I pulled a bunch to try to send out TTM, and the above 2007 Topps Rookie 52 card of Kevin Hooper is another example that came back signed.  The card turned out nicely.

Hooper (b. 1976) played in the majors in 2005 and 2006 for the Tigers.  He had one hit, no home runs and a .125 batting average. 

I mailed to Hooper on May 6 and got the card back on May 27 for a 21-day TAT.
