A Team Set Auto From Ryan Y

This a quick look at a card that I was able to send off this past season and get signed.  A guy from Instagram named Ryan graphs the Washington area and got this 2019 Frederick Keys team set card of Cameron Ming signed for me. 

Ming is now the pitching coach for the Everett Aquasox now that he has wrapped up his playing career.  I had a chance to get Ming in person, but missed out. Thankfully Ryan was able to take care of the card for me. 

Another TTM Success From Jim Lonborg

Jim Lonborg is a player who I have already gotten TTM twice (in 2018 and 2023), but it found these two cards in my boxes, so i sent to him a third time.

I like the above 1990 Swell Baseball Greats.  I have a few more cards from this set that i could possibly send off. We'll see. 

I got this 1982 TCMA Baseball's Greatest signed as well.  I'm not sure there are many more from this set that I can fet signed, but it do have a bunch.  Maybe it was a partial set that ended up at the old LCS; I think that's how they got into my boxes.

I mailed to Lonborg on October 9 and got the cards back on October 21 for a 12-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Dick Bosman

Back in 2018, I got Dick Bosman TTM on three cards.  I had a few more left over, so I sent to him again.

The above 1974 Topps was damaged at the bottom, but otherwise looks good.

I also got this 1975 Topps Mini signed.  When Bosman signed for me in 2018, he signed in black.  These were signed in blue, which i prefer.

I mailed to Bosman on October 7 and got the cards back on October 21 for a 14-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. 

TTM Success - Seth Maness

A couple nice 2013 Bowmans came back signed TTM from Seth Maness.  I think 2013 Bowman is a sharp set.  The cards look nice signed, but it gets harder and harder to get them done in person.

Maness (b. 1988) played in the majors from 2013 to 2017 for the Cardinals and Royals.  He had a record of 18-10 with 156 strike outs and a 3.21 ERA.

Formerly from Pinehurst, Maness played at ECU.  He was drafted by the Cardinals in the 11th round of the 2011 June Amateur Draft.  He had formerly been drafted by the Marlins in the 41st round of the 2010 June Amateur Draft, but didn't sign.

I mailed to Maness on October 1 and got the cards back signed on October 19, for an 18-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Jim French

A 1971 Topps was added to the autograph album when I got this one back signed from Jim French.  I can't remember if I got this from Ryan or if it came out of Conrad's boxes.  Still, I like the old Washington Senators uniform. 

French (b. 1941) played in the majors from 1965 to 1971 for the Senators.  He had 119 hits, 5 home runs and a .196 batting average.

I mailed to French on October 2 and got the card back on October 16 for a 14-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Bob Lacey

Another request to a TTM signer who i had gotten before got me these two cards back from Bob Lacey.  I had gotten him back in 2021 on a few cards; these two were left over, so I sent to him again.  The above 1981 Topps is a nice card.  His signature is a bit faint, but still looks fine.

I also sent off this 1978 Topps, which also turned out nicely.  I like the old A's jersey.

I mailed to Lacey on October 7 and got the cards back on October 15, for an 8-day TAT.
