TTM Success - Alonzo Mourning

Several weeks ago, my friend, Jack, asked me to check on some addresses for him to see if I could get any confirmations.  One of the addresses was one he had seen for Alonzo Mourning.  I wasn't 100% sure about what I found, but Jack seemed convinced that it was a good address.  Surprisingly, not too long after that, I found the above Mourning card in one of my boxes.  I decided to take a shot and test the address I had found to see if Mourning would sign my card TTM.  I was pleasantly surprised when it came back signed!

Mourning (b. 1970) played in the NBA from 1992 to 2008 (missing the 2002-2003 season) for the Hornets, Heat and Nets.  He had 14,311 points, 7,137 total rebounds and 946 assists.  He finished second in the 1992-1993 Rookie of the Year voting (to Shaq) and was an All Star 7 times. He won the NBA Championship with the Heat in 2006.  He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014.

I mailed to Mourning on January 8 and got the card back on February 10, for a 33-day TAT. 

2021 National Trade Night Signer - PJ Washington

This year, Trade Night was a bit different.  It was slam packed, but it turned out to be a lot of fun regardless.  It was arranged by the host, Kentuckybasketballcards (on Instagram), that Charlotte Hornets player, PJ Washington would be signing at Trade Night.  The line to get Washington stretched around the room, but Andrew and I were able to get him.  Andrew found 4 awesome cards, and gave me two of them.  Washington signed both in bronze Sharpie.  It looks better than the scan shows, really.

Washington (b. 1998) was drafted with the 12th overall pick by the Hornets out of the University of Kentucky.  He has played for the Hornets for two seasons from 2019 to 2021.  He has 38% 3-point percentage and 49% 2-point percentage and a total of 1,534 total points aver those two seasons.
