TTM Success - Kevin Witt

When I saw the Star Wars stamp on my return mailer, I knew I had a TTM success that had been out for a couple of years.  I opened the envelope and saw that the cards that I had sent Kevin Witt finally came back.  I was really excited about the above 1999 Fleer EX.  These acetate cards loom awesome when signed, and this one was almost worth the wait.

I also got a 1998 Team Best, 1999 Bowman and a 1999 Bowman Chrome signed by Witt.

Witt (b. 1975) played in the majors in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2006 for the Blue Jays, Padres, Tigers and Devil Rays.  He had 93 hits, 15 home runs and a .233 batting average. 

I mailed to Witt on May 7, 2021, and got the cards back on January 9, 2024, for a 977-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Armando Rios

These Armando Rios cards were in some of the boxes that I got from the former card shop.  I found them right after I had sent to him TTM a while back.  I had thought about sending to him again, but I waited a while, just in case he would remember my name and decide not to sign.  I really liked the above 1999 Fleer Ex Century card, so it was worth the wait.

I also got a 1999 Bowman and a 1999 Bowman Chrome signed.  The 2002 Topps Chrome refractor was a card that I had sent to him in my original TTM request, but it had come back unsigned.

I mailed to Rios on January 23 and got the cards back on April 10, for a 77-day TAT.

First 2022 TTM Success - Mike Mussina

Right before the holidays, I sent off a batch of TTMs to wrap up the year.  One of the requests was a repeat to Hall of Famer, Mike Mussina.  I had several cards of his sitting aside waiting to be sent out, and I had a little bit of money available to pay his fees.  So, I took the four cards that I most wanted to get back and sent them out.  The above 2020 Topps Turkey Red turned out so well.  This card is super sharp; I am glad I chose it to send out.  It was my 4th choice to send, but might look the best of all of these.

Here are the other three cards that I sent.  The one on the left is a 1999 Fleer Ex clear acetate card that looks amazing.  In the middle is a 1997 Flair Showcase and the one on the right is a 2000 Pacific Invincible.  All of the cards I chose turned out great.  I have several more that I probably will send sometime later on.  I have to recover from the holiday spending and some of the private signings that I have taken part in.

I mailed to Mussina on December 22 and got the cards back today (January 3), for a 12-day TAT.  I paid his fee of $10/card.
