TTM Success - Jason Tyner

I added some nice cards to my autograph album with this TTM success from Jason Tyner.  I found a few of them at my LCS, and a couple others were ones from my boxes here at the house.  The above 1999 Finest looks a lot better in person.  I found it at the LCS.  It was one of those types of cards that used to have the protective film over it, that had to be removed.  I prepped it with powder, and it turned out pretty well.

I also got a 2002 Topps Chrome, 2002 Upper Deck and a 2003 Topps signed by Tyner.

Tyner (b. 1977) played in the majors from 2000 to 2003 and 2005 to 2008 for the Mets, Devil Rays, Twins and Indians.  He had 373 hits, 1 home run and a .275 batting average.

I mailed to Tyner on October 14 and got the cards back on December 9, for a 56-day TAT.

TTM Success - Ryan Minor

I added some cool cards of a former Oriole with this TTM success from Ryan Minor.  He is currently the manager at Single A Delmarva in the Orioles system.  He was once a prospect for the Orioles, who's claim to fame was that he started at third base for the Orioles on the day that Cal Ripken ended his streak.

I had quite a few of Minor's cards in my Orioles box, so it was easy finding some to send out for the TTM request.  I pulled this 1999 Topps out of the box I got while I was at Andrew's last month.

I really like the 1999 Bowman set.  Those are really cool-looking cards.  The Topps Finest turned out really nice, as well.

Minor (b. 1974) played in the majors from 1998 to 2001 for the Orioles and Expos.  He had 56 hits, 5 home runs and a .177 batting average.

I mailed to Minor via the Delmarva Shorebirds on May 10 and got the cards back on June 15 for a 36-day TAT.

TTM Success - Jeff Shaw

I don't have many cards at all from the late 90s and early 2000s, so when I got this success from Jeff Shaw, I was pretty happy.  I have no clue where I picked up this 2000 Topps unless it was on the stack of like 5 cards I have from that set.  It's a nice looking set, so I need to add more of them o my collection.  It all starts with finding some and picking them up.

I picked up the 1999 Finest frmo my LCS.  I like how the card turned out, even though the auo is hard to see in the scan.  The 1998 Topps came from the huge lot my mom picked up a while back.

Shaw (b. 1966) played in the majors from 1990 to 2001 for the Indians, Expos, White Sox, Reds and Dodgers.  He had a career record of 34-54 with 545 strike outs and an ERA of 3.54.  He was an All Star twice (1998 and 2001).

I mailed to Shaw on March 28 and got the cards back on April 6, for a 9-day TAT.
