TTM Success - Alan Page

This 1976 Topps football card of Alan Page came back signed TTM recently. I picked him to send to TTM because I had read that along with being a football player, he also was a drag racer. I thought that was pretty cool, so in the letter I sent him, I mentioned who my dad is and how he has drag raced for a long time. I did get the signed card back, but nothing else. Maybe he read my note. Maybe he didn't. Oh well. I tried.

Page (b. 1945) played professionally from 1967 to 1981 for the Vikings and Bears. He was an 9-day pro bowler (1968-1976), and was an All Pro five times (1970, 1971, 1973, 1974 and 1975). He was the NFL MVP in 1971. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988.

I mailed to Page on November 14 and got the card back on February 9, for an 87-day TAT. I paid his fee of $30.00.

TTM Success - Jeff Branson

Here are some nice cards that came back signed TTM by Jeff Branson. The above 1988 Topps Traded showing Branson in a Team USA uniform was pretty cool. 

He also signed a 1993 Topps and a 1994 Topps. Both of these also look nice.

Branson (b. 1967) played in the majors from 1992 to 1998, 2000 and 2001 for the Reds, Indians and Dodgers. He had 383 hits, 34 home runs and a .246 batting average. 

I mailed to Branson on January 3 and got the cards back on February 6, for a 34-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Bernard Moon

This is another signed 2025 Topps Pro Debut that has been added to the autograph album. I got this one signed TTM by Bernard Moon. The 2025 Topps design is such a good one, and the cards look great signed.

Moon (b. 2005) was a 16th round pick by the Reds in the 2023 July Amateur Draft out of Redan High School in Georgia. He has played in the Reds system since 2023, reaching A ball. He has 188 hits, 14 home runs and a .259 batting average. 

I mailed to Moon on January 23 and got the card back on February 5, for a 13-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Jack O'Connor

Another 1991 Crown Orioles card has been signed and added to the autograph album. I saw that I could add Jack O'Connor via TTM, so I found some other cards to send along.

He signed a 1982 Topps, 1983 Topps, 1983 Donruss and 1988 Score. The Score is the only card I saw that showed O'Connor in an Orioles uniform. 

O'Connor (b. 1958) played in the majors from 1981 to 1985 and 1987 for the Twins and Orioles. He had a record of 14-17 with 177 strike outs and a 4.89 ERA.

I mailed to O'Connor on January 2 and got the cards back on February 5, for a 34-day TAT. 

May 15, 2016, Graphing of the Jackals at Bird Dawgs

Graphing the Frontier League has its challenges. The hardest challenge is getting cards of guys that you'll see. In the case of the New Jersey Jackals, I was only able to find cards of Felix Stevens prior to the series.

I ordered cards of Stevens from gosportscards, and got all of them signed during the first game of the series on Friday. He was really nice and jad a good series, hitting a few home runs. 

In all, we got the following autographs: Felix Stevens x 10. 10 total autographs. The next series should be much better.

Another TTM Success From Chuck Porter

Oops. Here is another example of me forgetting who I have sent to TTM. I had gotten Chuck Porter TTM back in 2016, but forgot. Almost 10 years later, I sent another 1985 Topps to him and got it back signed. 

Since I had forgotten, the card got put in the autograph album, even though I try not to put duplicates in there. Oh well. I'll live.

I mailed to Porter on January 13 and got the card back on February 4, for a 22-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Carson McCusker

This nice 2025 Topps Update of Carson McCusker came back signed TTM back in February.  I had busted a box of Update and pulled a few guys that I wanted to try TTM, and got pretty lucky. The 2025 Topps design is a good one, in my opinion. 

McCusker (b. 1998) played in the majors last season for the Twins. He had 5 hits, no home runs and a .172 batting average. 

I mailed to McCusker on January 20 and got the card back on February 4, for a 15-day TAT.
