TTM Success - Montana DuRapau

This random 2019 Topps Update was pulled from my box and sent out TTM to Montana DuRapau.  I had never heard of him before, so it was a good TTM to try to get done.

DuRapau (b. 1992) played in the majors in 2019 for the Pirates.  He went 0-1 with 22 strike outs and a 9.35 ERA.

I mailed to DuRapau on August 10 and got the card back on December 19, for a 131-day TAT.

TTM Success - Derek Dietrich

This was a nice TTM success that came in from Derek Dietrich that added some recent cards to m autograph album.  The above 2018 Topps turned out nicely.

I also got three different 2019 Topps (top left, 2019 Topps Update; top right, 2019 Topps Holiday and bottom left, 2019 Topps base) and a 2020 Topps signed by Dietrich.

Dietrich (b. 1989) played in the majors from 2013 to 2020 for the Marlins, Reds and Rangers.  He had 536 hits, 84 home runs and a .245 batting average.

I mailed to Dietrich on October 11 and got the cards back on January 9, for a 90-day TAT.

TTM Success - Kyle Dowdy

Here is a Spring Training TTM success from earlier this season from Kyle Dowdy.  I sent these two 2019 Topps Update cards to Red Spring Training, and got them back signed in black ink.

I really enjoyed the 2019 Topps set, for some reason, and I was glad to see these two update cards get signed.  Dowdy never came through Kinston, but it is still really nice getting a Spring Training success (especially since I sent out to many, and didn't get a whole lot of them back).

Dowdy (b. 1993) played in the majors in 2019 for the Rangers.  He went 2-1 with 17 strike outs and a 7.25 ERA.  This season, he is in the Reds system, and has played at AAA with Louisville.  He is currently 1-2 with a 5.27 ERA and 32 strike outs.  I doubt those numbers will get him another shot at the Majors, unless injuries force the Reds hand.

I mailed to Dowdy on March 12 and got the cards back on May 16, for a 58-day TAT.

TTM Success - Scott Oberg

Here are a couple 2019 Topps Update cards that I got signed TTM from Scott Oberg.  Both turned out great, with the bottom one being a rainbow foil parallel.

Oberg (b. 1990) played in the majors from 2015 to 2019 for the Rockies.  He had a career record of 18-8 with 234 strike outs and a 3.85 ERA.

I mailed to Oberg on February 4 and got the cards back on February 16, for a 12-day TAT.

TTM SUccess - Nick Anderson

I really enjoyed 2019 Topps Holiday.  I bought a couple blaster boxes and have gotten a few of the cards signed.  They look cool in my album, and I hope to get a few more signed soon.  This TTM success from Nick Anderson is the latest card from this set that I was able to get done.

I have been more conscious of getting Marlins signed, since my buddy Dugan is a huge fan of theirs.  For some reason their cards already stand out to me, and now that he is working on Marlins autos, I've kept my eye out for some, as well.

Anderson (b. 1990) has played in the majors since 2019 for the Marlins and Rays.  He has a career record of 6-5 with 135 strike outs and a 2.81 ERA.

I mailed to Anderson on June 10 and got the cards back on July 2, for a 22-day TAT.

TTM Success - Thomas Pannone

I was really happy to be able to get a card out of my 2017 Carolina League Top Prospects set and get it signed. I still have a few cards from the set unsigned, but when I saw that Thomas Pannone was signing, I jumped on the chance.

I also got this 2019 Topps Update signed. Both cards turned out great.

Pannone (b. 1994) has played in the majors for the Blue Jays since 2018. He has a career record of 7-7 with 98 strike outs and a 5.43 ERA.

I mailed to Pannone on February 10 via Blue Jays spring training and got the cards back on May 14, for a 94-day TAT.
