TTM Success - Christopher McDonald

He was Adam Sandler's antagonist in Happy Gilmore, a movie I have seen tons of times.  So, when I saw that Christopher McDonald was signing TTM, I was happy to send along this 2018 Allen & Ginter.  The card came back looking great, I think.

McDonald (b. 1955) has been acting since 1978.  While known for Happy Gilmore, he also appeared in Grease 2, House Arrest (a really good, underrated movie), Thelma and Louise, Dutch (another good, forgotten movie) and Grumpy Old Men.

I mailed to McDonald on November 16 and got the card back on December 21, for a 35-day TAT.

TTM Success - Phil Coyne

I got a couple cards signed TTM by longtime Pirates usher, Phil Coyne.  He is currently 102 years old, and was an usher for the Pirates for 81 years, across three stadiums (Forbes Field, Three Rivers Stadium and PNC Park).  He was featured on this 2018 Topps Allen & Ginter when he turned 100.
I also got Coyne to sign this 2010 Topps Pirates team card.

I mailed to Coyne on November 16 and got the cards back on November 24, for a 12-day TAT.
