TTM Success - Tom Tellmann

Here is a random 1985 Topps card that came back signed TTM from Tom Tellmann.  I had this in the box for quote a while before finally sending it out.

Tellmann (b. 1954) played in the.majors in 1979, 1980 and from 1983 to 1985 for the Padres, Brewers and A's.  He had a record of 18-7 with 94 strike outs and a 3.05 ERA.

I mailed to Tellmann on October 21 and got the card back on March 29 for a 159-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Tony LaRussa

This 2024 Panini Select Tony LaRussa was pulled from the blasters that I got a few months ago.  I thought it was a really cool card, so I sent it out to LaRussa TTM to get signed.  He signed it in thin blue Sharpie.

I mailed to LaRussa on December 24 and got the card back on March 26 for a 92-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Wyatt Strahan

Here is another card that I saw in my box for quite some time and finally decided to send it out.  This 2014 Panini Prizm of Wyatt Strahan red white and blue parallel is a pretty cool card.  It turned out great signed.

Strahan (b. 1993) was a 3rd round pick by the Reds in the 2014 June Amateur Draft out of USC.  He played in the minors from 2014 to 2019 in the Reds system.  He reached AA.  He had a record of 18-35 with 370 strike outs and a 4.47 ERA.

I mailed to Strahan on March 10 and got the card back on March 22 for a 12-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Carson Speirs

Another Spring Training TTM success came in, this one from Carson Spiers.  He signed my 2024 Topps, and it turned out nicely.  I am a big fan of this set, and any time I can get one signed is a good time.

Spiers (b. 1997) has played in the majors since 2023.  He has a record of 5-10 with 103 strike outs and a 5.69 ERA.

I mailed to Spiers via Reds camp on February 12 and got the card back on March 22 for a 38-day TAT.

TTM Success - Manny Sanguillen

Manny Sanguillen is a player that I have gotten in person before (2015 National VIP signer).  I got him on a ball then; this was before I was concentrating on cards.  Since then, I had put aside a few of his cards to try to get him into the autograph album.  Above is his 1974 Topps, which has a cool action shot.

This is his 1975 Topps.  Both of the cards came out of the Conrad boxes a while back. 

Sanguillen (b. 1944) played in the majors in 1967 and from 1969 to 1980 for the Pirates and A's.  He had 1,500 hits, 65 home runs and a .296 batting average.  He won the World Series with the Purates in 1971 and 1979.  He was an All Star in 1971, 1972 and 1975.  His best MVP finish was 8th in 1971 (NL).

Sanguillen appeared on the 1986 Hall of Fame ballot and appeared on 0.5% of the vote. 

I mailed to Sanguillen on December 24 and got the cards back on March 22 for an 88-day TAT.  I paid his fee of $10.00/card.

Another TTM Success From Ryan Pepiot

Another Spring Training TTM success came back, this time from Ryan Pepiot on a 2025 Topps.  I had gotten him last year and tried again when Series 1 came out.  The card turned out well, as was expected. 

After Pepiot signed with the Rays, I thought I'd have a shot at seeing him with Durham.  He has stuck with the Rays all season, which is good.

I mailed to Pepiot on February 26 and got the card back on March 21 for a 23-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Erik Miller

Recently, I made a push to send out some more recent cards TTM to steer away from the glut of 70s stuff I have been posting.  I got all of that 70s stuff a while back from Conrad's boxes, and now need to clear out room in the more recent stuff.  One of the cards I sent out was this 2019 Bowman Chrome of Erik Miller.  It came back signed in black Sharpie. 

Miller (b. 1998) has played in the majors since 2024 for the Giants.  He has a record of 8-5 with 105 strike outs and a 3.07 ERA.

I mailed to Miller on March 4 and got the card back on March 21 for a 17-day TAT.
