Possible TTM Success From Billy Crystal

When this TTM success came in from Billy Crystal, I was really excited.  That was until I posted them on my Instagram and was told by a lot of people that there's a strong possibility that he has a ghost signer sign his mail.  Dang.  I was really glad to get this Empire State Building Allen and Ginter card signed.  It still looks cool though.
Crystal (b. 1948) is an actor and comedian best known for his roles in The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, City Slickers; he hosted the Oscars countless times and was a cast member and also multi-time host of SNL.

I mailed to Crystal on February 22 and got the cards back on March 15 for a 21-day TAT.  Whether they're ghost signed or not, they're still going in the album.

TTM Success - Mike Schmidt's Ghost Signer

I was excited when these came in after mailing to the Hall of Fame, but after further review, and seeking opinions from some friends, I received a TTM "success" from someone other than Mike Schmidt.

I was disappointed, too, because I figured that if I sent via the HOF, I had a good shot of getting a legit signature back.  However, that wasn't the case, and I have a couple of novelty cards in my album.
I just hate that I ended up wasting some sharp 87s, and will have to pay to meet Schmidt in order to insure that I will get legitimate autos for my set.  Oh well, it was worth a shot (and 2 stamps, 2 cards and about 15 minutes of my time).

I mailed to the Hall of Fame on April 23 and got these cards back on May 11, for an 18-day TAT.
