Another TTM Success From Craig Paquette

I had a bunch of Craig Paquette's cards in my box that had been sitting there for a couple years, so I decided to send TTM to him again.  I had some good ones, but just held onto them while I sent other folks out.  I finally got around to sending these, and am glad I went ahead with it.  The above 1993 Upper Deck SP turned out really well.  I have no idea where I got the card.  It could be a remnant of the collection I had when I was younger, of course, or it could have come out of a repack box a while back.  Who knows.
These cards all came out of various 5,000-count boxes that I have acquired over the years.  I've been trying to thin that stuff out and cycle more stuff in, but it definitely is a chore.  The 2002 Topps Chrome and 2002 Topps (top left to right) both look great.  The 1994 Score and 1994 Donruss (bottom left to right) ae both cards that usually get left out when I am choosing what to send to players.  I was glad to get those two sets in this request and add them to the album.

I mailed to Paquette on August 12 and got the cards back on August 22, for a 10-day TAT.

TTM Success - Craig Paquette

It took two tries, but I got a TTM success from Craig Paquette.  I had been wanting to get him for a long time, but kept putting it off.  When I finally sent to him, I picked the wrong address.  I don't know how that happened, but when the envelope came back RTS and I checked the webpages, I wanted to headbutt my wall.  Anyway, I tried again, and was successful.
I had a bunch of Paquette's cards, but had to narrow it down to four.  I had to add the ProCards AAA (at the top) to the binder.  I also need more 1994 Topps in the binder, so this one was an easy choice.
Finally, I liked the 1994 Pinnacle and Pinnacle Museum so I included both of those.  The Pinnacle Museum actually came out of an album that my mom gave me, so it was nice to get that one signed.

Paquette (b. 1969) played in the majors from 1993 to 2003 for the A's, Royals, Mets, Cardinals and Tigers.  He had 620 hits, 99 home runs and a .239 batting average.

I mailed to Paquette on March 13 and got the cards back on March 24, for an 11-day TAT.
