TTM Success - Nick Maronde

Here are some nice cards that I got signed TTM by Nick Maronde.  I've got a bunch of 2012 Topps Heritage Minors cards, and was able to get one of them out of the box and into the album with this success.

I also got a 2012 Bowman, 2013 Bowman and a 2013 Topps Crome signed.

Maronde (b. 1989) played in the majors from 2012 to 2014 for the Angels.  He had a record of 0-0 with 19 strike outs and a 7.13 ERA.

I mailed to Maronde on March 2 and got the cards back on March 27, for a 25-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Josh Rutledge

Some more early 2010s cards got signed via TTM recently, this time from Josh Rutledge. The above 2012 Heritage Minors turned out nicely. I liked this set when it came out. I inherited a bunch of these cards when the LCS closed, so, I've been able to get a few signed here and there. 

I also sent this 2010 Bowman, which also turned out nicely.

Rutledge (b. 1989) played in the majors from 2012 to 2017 for the  Rockies and Red Sox. He had 284 hits, 20 home runs and a .258 batting average.

I mailed to Rutledge on January 11, 2021, and got the cards back on June 18, 2022, for a 523-day TAT.

TTM Success - Daniel Corcino

Topps Heritage Minors are some nice sets, which look really cool when signed.  So, I was able to pull from two sets of Heritage Minors (2012 and 2014) and send a couple cards off to Daniel Corcino for him to sign TTM.

Both of the cards turned out nicely, and I was glad to remove them from my prospects boxes.

Corcino (b. 1990) played in the majors in 2014 and 2018 for the Reds and Dodgers.  He had a record of 0-2 with 16 strike outs and a 3.97 ERA.

I mailed to Corcino on January 4 and got the cards back on April 5, for a 91-day TAT.

TTM Success - JR Graham

Here are a few cards that I got back TTM from JR Graham.  I had a bunch of his 2012 Topps Heritage Minors, so a few of my friends got some in some TTM starter packs, after my success from Graham came in.  This was a great design, based off of 1963 Topps.

I also got Graham to sign a 2011 Playoff Contenders Draft Ticket and a 2015 Topps Update.

Graham (b. 1990) played in the majors in 2015 and 2016 for the Twins.  He had a record of 1-1 with 55 strike outs and a 5.10 ERA.

I mailed to Graham on August 31 and got the cards back on January 9, for a 131-day TAT.

TTM Success - Greg Billo

I was able to find an address for Greg Billo and get his 2012 Topps Heritage Minors card signed TTM.  I had a ton of 2012 Heritage Minors in one of the boxes that I got from my former LCS, so it was nice to be able to get one of them out and into my autograph album.

Billo (b. 1990) was a 28th round pick by the Royals in the 2008 June Amateur Draft out of Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park, Illinois.  He pitched 7 seasons in the minors in the Royals and Angels systems, reaching AA.  He had a record of 23-29 in the minors with 389 strike outs and a 3.35 ERA.

I mailed to Billo on November 30 and got the card back on December 11, for an 11-day TAT.

TTM Success - Andrew Susac

I had seen that Andrew Susac had been signing sporadically, so I took some cards I had missed getting signed when he was in the Orioles organization and sent them TTM.

Suscac (b. 1990) has played in the majors since 2014 (he didn't appear in a game in 2019 due to not being called up from the minors) for the Giants, Brewers, Orioles and Pirates.

He has 61 hits, 7 home runs and a .219 batting average. He won the World Series with the Giants in 2014.

I mailed to Susac on September 28 and got the cards back on October 9, for an 11-day TAT.

TTM Success - David Holmberg

I have been working diligently on trying to keep myself busy while there has been no (good) baseball news to speak of.  I have gone through all of my card boxes three or four times, and have a ton of TTM requests out, and even more to write and send.

I came across David Holmberg in my box, and found out that he was signing.  I sent him two cards, and I was surprised to see that he included the above 2012 Topps Heritage Minors with my cards.  That was really awesome of him.

He signed my 2013 Bowman Chrome that I sent, along with a 2014 Topps.

Holmberg (b. 1991) played in the majors from 2013 to 2015 and 2017 for the Diamondbacks, Reds and White Sox.  He had a career record of 5-10 with 66 strike outs and a 5.49 ERA.

I mailed to Holmberg on April 27 and got the cards back on May 7, for a 10-day TAT.
