TTM Success - Asher Wojciechowski

That's a tough last name.  I believe is it pronounced Whoaj-see-chow-ski.  Anyway, I got some cards signed TTM by Asher Wojciechowski, a former Oriole.  This 2015 Topps Heritage turned out nicely, and is a nice add to the autograph album, since I didn't have many of these in there.
I also got a 2010 Donruss Elite Extra Edition and a 2009 Upper Deck signed.

Wojciechowski (b. 1988) played in the majors in 2015, 2017 and 2019 to 2021 for the Astros, Reds, Orioles and Yankees.  He had a record of 9-15 with 195 strike outs and a 5.93 ERA.

I mailed to Wojciechowski on September 26 and got the cards back on November 7, for a 42-day TAT.

TTM Success - Denny Ribant

Here are a couple really nice vintage cards that I got signed TTM by Denny Ribant.  The above 1966 Topps was an Ebay purchase that I picked up to go with the 1968 Topps (below) that I found in my box.  I liked how this card looked, so I got it and am happy with it being in my album, now.
The 1968 Topps also turned out nicely.  This is definitely a Spring Training head shot (note the palm trees in the back).

Ribant (b. 1941) played in the majors from 1964 to 1969 for the Mets, Pirates, Tigers, White Sox, Cardinals and Reds.  He had a record of 24-29 with 241 strike outs and a 3.87 ERA.

I mailed to Ribant on October 25 and got the cards back on November 5, for an 11-day TAT.

TTM Success - Stan Wall

This 1976 Topps card that I got back signed TTM from Stan Wall turned out nicely.  I liked the colors on the card, and was glad when it came back.  I have a ton of 1976 Topps, so it was nice to put one of them to use.

Wall (b. 1951) played in the majors from 1975 to 1977 for the Dodgers.  He had a record of 4-6 with 55 strike outs and a 3.86 ERA.

I mailed to Wall on October 26 and got the card back on November 5, for a 10-day TAT.

Two Tough 87s Added to the Album

These two signed 1987 Topps cards are two of the tougher ones to add to the set.  I got up with someone on Facebook (Marty S.) who was dismantling his signed set.  So, I bought these two off of him, and had him put aside a few more for a later purchase.

I had written to Tony Walker several times, but had gotten RTS on everything I sent.  When I saw this one available, I went ahead and took the deal, so I could cross him off of my list.

Walker (b. 1959) played in the majors in 1986 for the Astros.  He had 20 hits, 2 home runs and a .222 batting average.
I had sent to Shepherd a while back, but never got anything in return.  This signature is really faint, so if a signing comes up, I'll probably try to upgrade this one at some point.

Shepherd (b. 1960) played in the majors from 1984 to 1986 for the Blue Jays.  He had 18 hits, 2 home runs and a .167 batting average.

I'm looking to scrape together some more money to buy a few more cards off of Marty, so I can keep pushing this set toward completion.  I know that Ricky Wright (and Dick Howser and Roy Lee Jackson) will keep this out of reach, but I'm going to keep trying.

TTM Success - Jack Daugherty

Here are some early 90s cards that I got signed TTM recently by Jack Daugherty.  I had gone through those 90s boxes and pulled a bunch of people to send to, and Daugherty was one who had a bunch of cards.  I hadn't added a 1992 Fleer to the album in a while, so this one was nice to put in there.
I also got a 1990 Topps, 1991 Topps and 1992 Topps signed.

Daugherty (b. 1960) played in the majors in 1987 and from 1989 to 1993 for the Expos, Rangers, Astros and Reds.  He had 194 hits, 10 home runs and a .256 batting average.

I mailed to Daugherty on October 26 and got the cards back on November 14, for a 9-day TAT.

TTM Success - Al Weis

Another 1968 Topps was robbed from my vintage box and added to my autograph album when I got this card back signed TTM from Al Weis.

Weis (b. 1938) played in the majors from 1962 to 1971 for the White Sox and Mets.  He had 346 hits, 7 home runs and a .219 batting average.

I mailed to Weis on October 26 and got the card back on November 4, for a 9-day TAT.

TTM Success - Tim Scott

Some more mid-90s cards came back signed TTM; this time from former pitcher, Tim Scott.  This 1995 Topps turned out nicely.
I also got a 1992 Stadium Club and a 1993 Topps signed.

Scott (b. 1966) played in the majors from 1991 to 1997 for the Padres,  Expos, Giants and Rockies.  He had a record of 24-13, with 253 strike outs and a 4.13 ERA.

I mailed to Scott on October 26 and got the cards back on November 4, for a 9-day TAT.
