TTM Success - Casey Fossum

Here are some really nice cards that I was able to get signed TTM by former pitcher, Casey Fossum.  The above 2004 Studio turned out nicely, and this is a set that I enjoy.  I like the skyline background to these cards, so it was cool to be able to add one to the album.

This 2004 Donruss also turned out well.  I don't have very many of these cards at all, so adding one to the album is helpful.  I love a good variety in my autograph albums, and these cards I got back from Fossum help with that.

Fossum (b. 1978) played in the majors from 2001 to 2009 for the Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Devil Rays, Tigers and Mets.  He had a record of 40-53 with 607 strike outs and a 5.45 ERA.

I mailed to Fossum on February 2 and got the cards back on March 18, for a 44-day TAT.

A Big Package From Weston

I got a really nice package in tht mail from my buddy, Weston, recently that had a ton of set and PC needs.  He included 6 2013 Topps Emerald parallels that I needed for my set and bunch of Orioles.  He was able to do what not a whole lot of people have been able to do, he found me a Cal Ripken that I didn't already have in my collection.  The above 2012 Triple Play Hall of Fame card is really awesome, even without the O's team logo.

Weston really scored here with this awesome JJ Hardy All Star jersey relic.  I wasn't expecting something as nice as this, but I definitely appreciate it.  Weston really went above and beyond by sending this card.  I hope the Orioles can hurry up and extend JJ.  They both seem to want to get a deal done, so come on guys, lets get moving!

FInally, I wanted to show off this really sharp looking 2004 Donruss Brooks Robinson.  I'm really excited that Panini is bringing back the Donruss brand.  They were a huge part of my childhood, so it will be nice to see the brand come back.  Even without a license, I think Panini does a good job.

So, thanks for the package, Weston!  I really appreciate it.  Everyone, please go check out his blog, he works really hard on it and does a good job.
