Another TTM Success From Nolan Watson

Earlier this season, I saw that Nolan Watson was on High Point's roster.  I went on Ebay and picked up a couple of his cards, and also dug through my stacks at the house for one of Gerard's team set cards that never got signed when Watson was with Wilmington.  All of this was nice and all, until I asked Watson with High Point for his autograph.  He said "Dude, I'm a catcher."  Yeah, wasn't the same guy.  Oops.
I found an address for this Nolan Watson and mailed to him.  The cards I sent all came back signed and looked great.  I noticed when they came back that I had gotten Watson before, back in April of 2021.

Since then, Watson (b. 1997) has moved.on from the Royals organization to the Padres system.  He was in AAA this year, but was on the 60-day IL when I mailed to him. 

Currently, Watson has a career record in the minors of 32-53 with 488 strike outs and a 6.14 ERA.

I mailed to Watson on August 14 and got the cards back on August 26, for a 12-day TAT.

TTM Success - Nolan Watson

This 2016 Topps Heritage Minors card of Nolan Watson turned out really well when I got it back signed TTM.  I like this design, the cards look really nice when signed.

Watson (b. 1997) was a 1st round (33rd overall) pick by the Royals in the 2015 June Amateur Draft out of an Indianapolis High School.  He pitched in the Royals system from 2015 to 2019, reaching High A.  He had a career record of 14-36 with 225 strike outs and a 6.46 ERA.

I mailed to Watson on January 7 and got the card back on January 15, for an 8-day TAT.
