Another TTM Success From Bernie Carbo

Back in 2018, I got a TTM success from Bernie Carbo.  I got around to sending to him again this year.  I had the above 1979 Topps that my buddy Ryan sent me a while back. The card turned out great. 

Carbo also sent this religious tract card that he signed.  This was a cool card to add to the album. I appreciate Carbo adding an extra to the TTM request. 

I mailed to Carbo on November 9 and got the cards back on November 30 for a 21-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Travis Miller

A 2001 Topps was added to the autograph album when I got this card back from Travis Miller.  The autograph is kind of tough to see, but it's there.

Miller (b. 1972) played in the majors from 1996 to 2002 for the Twins.  He had a record of 7-18 with 199 strike outs and a 5.05 ERA.

I mailed to Miller on October 31 and got the card back on November 29 for a 29-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Kason Gabbard

Here are a couple late 2000s cards that came back signed TTM from Kason Gabbard.  Above is a 2008 Topps and below is a 2006 Topps Update.

I thought I had more of Gabbard's cards, but these two were the only ones I was able to find.

Gabbard (b. 1982) played in the majors from 2006 to 2008 for the Red Sox and Rangers.  He had a record of 9-7 with 103 strike outs and a 4.53 ERA.

I mailed to Gabbard on October 30 and got the cards back on November 29 for a 30-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Steve Braun

Several nice vintage cards came back signed TTM by Steve Braun recently.  I was especially happy that I added another 1972 Topps to the album.  I like the old school All Star Rookie trophy.

I also got back his 1978, 1980 and 1983 Topps.

Braun (b. 1948) played in the majors from 1971 to 1985 for the Twins, Mariners, Royals, Blue Jays and Cardinals.  He had 989 hits, 52 home runs and a .271 batting average.  He won the 1982 World Series with the Cardinals.

I mailed to Braun on October 22 and got the cards back on November 29 for a 38-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Guy Hoffman

Here are a few 80s cards that I got back signed TTM from Guy Hoffman.  The above 1980 Topps White Sox Future Stars card looks pretty cool.

Above left is a 1987 Fleer Update and above right is a 1988 Topps.  Hoffman inscribed both of these for me, and both look great.

Hoffman (b. 1956) played in the majors in 1979, 1980, 1983 and from 1986 to  1988 for the White Sox, Cubs, Reds and Rangers.  He had a record of 17-17 with 187 strike outs and a 4.25 ERA.

I mailed to Hoffman on October 31 and got the cards back on November 26 for a 26-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Jose Bautista

A while back, Jose Bautista was coaching for some team that was going to come through Kinston; I think maybe Myrtle Beach. For whatever reason, I didn't see him (COVID season, maybe?). I don't remember now.  Anyway, I had his cards pulled, then put away, then pulled again.  I finally sent to him TTM, and after quite a while, got the cards back signed.  I was glad to finally get his 1991 Crown Orioles card into the autograph album. 

I also got a 1989 Topps, 1994 Topps Finest and a 1994 Topps signed.

Bautista (b. 1964) played in the majors from 1988 to 1991 and 1993 to 1997 for the Orioles, Cubs, Giants, Tigers and Cardinals.  He had a record of 32-42 with 328 strike outs and a 4.62 ERA.

I mailed to Bautista on October 24, 2023, and got the cards back on November 25, 2024, for a 398-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Tim Birtsas

Here are some more cards of Tim Birtstas that I got signed TTM recently.  I've held these cards for a while.  I was glad to add the above 1989 Score to the autograph album. 

I also added the above 1986 Donruss (left) and the above 1988 Topps (right).

I mailed to Birtsas on November 6 and got the cards back on November 21 for a 15-day TAT.
