TTM Success - Brad Miller

This TTM success from Brad Miller was overshadowed by the death of Brooks Robinson.  I'll always remember that I was in the process of posting this card to my Instagram account when I got the news.

Anyway, this 2020 Topps Update was signed with a fading Sharpie, but it is still signed.  It had also been out there for a while. 

Miller (b. 1989) has played in the majors since 2013 for the Mariners, Rays, Brewers, Indians, Phillies, Cardinals and Rangers. He has 740 hits, 123 home runs and a .236 batting average. 

I mailed to Miller on September 17, 2022 via a the Rangers and got the card back on September 26, 2023, for a 375-day TAT.  I had sent a 2021 Topps Update and a 2022 Topps, which he returned unsigned.

Autographs From Max - Some Cubs and Rangers

The partnership with my awesome friend, Max, and I has helped me move a lot of cards out of my boxes and has helped me add some cool stuff to my autograph albums.  Max is the person who really helped push me toward concentrating on signed cards, as opposed to baseballs.  Now, I have something like 18 full albums of signed cards, which is kind of crazy.

I had this 2021 Bowman Chrome ray wave refractor of Ed Howard for a while, and Max finally got it signed for me.  I had sent it off to someone else for a 50/50, but it came back unsigned.  I am glad it is finally done.

Max took some Rangers guys from me recently, and hit it big on a few of them.  I believe he is cleaned out on Ian Kennedy, so I am going to help provide some more to him in short order.  He also helped me add Jon Gray and Josh Smith to the autograph album.

I was glad to get a few of these "mojo" refractors signed, since I had a bunch of them.  The silver pack Dane Dunning 1986 Topps chrome turned out pretty great, as well.

Here are a couple nice Cubs cards that Max got signed for me.  The top one is Justin Steele and the bottom one is Miles Mastrobuoni.

Finally, Max got a Cole Ragans card signed for me.  I had a bunch of his cards hoarded, since I thought he was going to come through the Wood Ducks.  He skipped Kinston, so I missed out completely.

Thanks for getting these signed for me, Max, I really appreciate it!
