Another TTM Success From Jim Gott

This TTM success from Jim Gott was another one of those TTM efforts to thin out a player's cards from my boxes.  I had been gathering Gott's cards again for some time and finally pulled the trigger on getting them in the mail.  The above 1988 Donruss Baseball's Best was the card that pushed me to send to Gott again. These are really nice cards; those orange and black borders New great.

I also got a 1994 Fleer Ultra, 1994 Donruss, 1993 Fleer and 1993 Score signed by Gott.  It's funny how similar the Fleer and Score cards are.

I mailed to Gott on January 8 and got the cards back on February 6, for a 29-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Eric Wedge

Oops. I meant to post this yesterday, but got busy searching boxes of cards and forgot. Anyway, I got some nice cards back signed TTM from Eric Wedge.  The above 1993 Score turned out nicely and comes from a very underrepresented set in my albums.

I also got a couple Topps (2004 and 2005) cards signed. These also turned out nicely.

Wedge (b. 1968) played in the majors from1991 to 1994 for the Red Sox and Rockies.  He had  20 hits, 5 home runs and a .233 batting average.

He managed the Indians from 2003 to 2009 and the Mariners from 2008 to 2010.  His managerial record was 774-846 (.478 win %).

I mailed to Wedge on May 6, 2021, and got the cards back on March 10, 2023, for a 673-day TAT.

TTM Success - Ruben Amaro Jr

 
I got some more junk wax era cards out of my box and into my album with this TTM success from former Phillies GM, Ruben Amaro, Jr.   I had a bunch of his cards, so I was glad to be able to get a few signed, and then send some off to some friends, so they too could get a few done.

Surprisingly, I don't have a whole lot of 1992 Fleer (top left).  Those must not have survived the great card purge I did a few years ago.  I had taken a buch of junk wax cards and made gift bags that I gave out for Halloween.  Now, I kind of wish I had kept some of those, because I wasn't doing TTM back then.

Amaro (b. 1965) played in the majors from 1991 to 1998 for the Angels, Phillies and Indians.  He had 218 hits, 16 home runs and a .235 batting average.

I mailed to Amaro on July 31 and got the cards back on August 24, for a 31-day TAT.
