Another TTM Success From Derin McMains

When I found and pulled this card at the National, I had already forgotten that I got Derin McMains TTM back in 2024. I pulled this 2007 Bowman blue parallel and added it to my pile. 

I got home and searched my 2007 box and found this 2007 Bowman Chrome. I could have saved myself some time had I searched here and saw that I already had gotten a 2007 Bowman Chrome signed during that initial TTM submittal. Oh well. Of course, I pulled a few other guys during that pass through the box.

I mailed to McMains on August 13 and got the cards back on August 28, for a 15-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Derin McMains

My older Bowman box is fun to look through.  I like seeing the prospects from years past, with the hope of adding a few to the autograph album. 

The autograph on my 2007 Bowman Chrome Derin McMains it tough to see on the scan, but in person, it looks pretty nice.  I ended up with a ton of 2007 Bowman from my own boxes that I busted and others that I got from the former LCS.  The older the Bowmans get, the harder it is to get them signed in person; unless the player is a coach or something. 

McMains (b. 1979) was an 11th round pick by the Giants in the 2001 June Amateur Draft out of the University of Arkansas Little Rock.  He played in the minors from 2001 to 2007, all in the Giants system.  He was able to.reach AAA.  He had 461 hits, 21 home runs and a .257 batting average. 

I mailed to McMains on October 2 and got the card back on October 21, for a 19-day TAT.
