Another TTM Success From Roy Face

In an effort to clear some more cards out of my boxes, I pulled a bunch of stadium and team history cards out for use when sending to older players who I may not have many cards of.

I had sent to Roy Face in the past, but I thought this 2010 Topps Pirates Franchise History card would look cool when signed. It does. I have a bunch more of the history cards, so hopefully I can find some more folks to send them to.

I mailed to Face on May 6 and got the card back on May 14, for an 8-day TAT.

TTM Success - Thomas Pannone

I was really happy to be able to get a card out of my 2017 Carolina League Top Prospects set and get it signed. I still have a few cards from the set unsigned, but when I saw that Thomas Pannone was signing, I jumped on the chance.

I also got this 2019 Topps Update signed. Both cards turned out great.

Pannone (b. 1994) has played in the majors for the Blue Jays since 2018. He has a career record of 7-7 with 98 strike outs and a 5.43 ERA.

I mailed to Pannone on February 10 via Blue Jays spring training and got the cards back on May 14, for a 94-day TAT.

TTM Success - Kevin McGlinchy

I added a cool 1998 Bowman Chrome card to my autograph album when this card came back signed TTM from Kevin McGlinchy.

McGlinchy (b. 1977) played in the majors from 1999 to 2000 for the Braves.  He had a career record of 7-3 with 76 strike outs and a 2.75 ERA.  He finished 6th in the 1999 NL Rookie of the Year voting.

I mailed to McGlinchy on April 23 and got the card back signed on May 14, for a 21-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Danny Tartabull

I had gotten Danny Tartabull in the past, but when I did, I didn't get him on an 87 Topps for my set.  So, I waited around for quite a while, and finally sent to him again.  When I did, I also included this 1992 Upper Deck Royals checklist.  This card looks really cool, and I was glad I sent it along and paid Tartabull's fee.

Of course, I sent the 98 along, and it turned out great.  I don't know what took me so long, but I'm glad the card is crossed off of my list and in my 87 album.

I mailed to Tartabull on March 9 and got the cards back on May 12, for a 64-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $10/card.

TTM Success - Leslie Jordan

All it took for me to send this card out for a TTM signature was my wife's devoted following of Leslie Jordan's Instagram account (@thelesliejordan).  He posts videos daily, and she goes nuts whenever he posts.  I knew Jordan from seeing him in Jason Goes To Hell - The Final Friday, on the TV show, Reba, or as a voice actor on American Dad.

It took me a while to find this card in my collection, but when I did, it went out for signature.  It came back not too long after, along with a signed ad for one of Jordan's stand-up shows.  That one was addresses directly to my wife, so that one went into her autograph collection.

Jordan (b. 1955) has acted since 1986, and aside from being known from the movie and shows notd above, he also has appeared on Will and Grace, American Horror Story and The Cool Kids, among a wide range of other shows and movies.

I mailed to Jordan on April 30 and got the card back on May 12, for a 12-day TAT.

TTM Success - Tom Murphy

I took a couple more cards out of the lot that I got off of Conrad and added them to my autograph album.  This success from Tom Murphy really turned out nicely.  The above 1972 Topps looks especially sharp.

This 1973 Topps also looks great; the blue Sharpie blending well with the blue in Murphy's KC jersey.

Murphy (b. 1945) played in the majors 1968 to 1979 for the Angels, Royals, Cardinals, Brewers, Red Sox and Blue Jays.  He had a career record of 68-101 with 621 strike outs and a 3.78 ERA.  He finished in 30th place in the 1974 AL MVP race.  That season, he pitched in 70 games to the tune of a 1.90 ERA.

I mailed to Murphy on April 30 and got the cards back on May 11, for an 11-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Tim Raines, Jr.

With all of the time I've had on my hands lately from the COVID crap, I have been cleaning out some card boxes and been more aggressive in sending out TTM requests.  Some of the players, I have sent to in the past, but I still had some decent cards remaining, so I have gone to the well again for some more autographs.  Tim Raines, Jr. is one of those players.

I had picked up some of Raines's cards because I thought I would see him while he was coaching Aberdeen.  I never got there, and he isn't coaching there anymore.

I had also picked up these various Bowmans.  They all turned out really well when signed.

I mailed to Raines on April 27 and got the cards back on May 11, for a 14-day TAT.
