TTM Success - Ricky Jones

Here is another 1991 Crown Orioles card for the autograph album. This card is signed by Ricky Jones. I had never heard of him before, so it was nice to get this card taken care of.

Jones (b. 1958) played in the majors in 1986 for the Orioles. He had 6 hits, no home runs and a .182 batting average. 

I mailed to Jones on November 13 and got the card back on December 4, for a 21-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Glenn Borgmann

Back in 2018, I got a few cards signed TTM by Glenn Borgmann.  One of the cards that I didn't send at the time was a 1974 Topps. I found this one in the boxes from Conrad. I went ahead and sent it out and it came back signed in blue Sharpie. 

I mailed to Borgmann on November 22 and got the card back on December 4, for a 12-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Bud Norris

A private signing popped up with a former Oriole that I wanted to add to the autograph album, Bud Norris. I wanted him on an Orioles card, so I chose this 2015 Topps.  I like this set, and it was an easy choice.

Norris (b. 1985) played in the majors from 2009 to 2018 for the Astros, Orioles, Padres, Braves, Dodgers, Angels and Cardinals. He had a record of 67-90 with 1,153 strike outs and a 4.45 ERA.

I mailed to the signing on September 22 and got the card back on December 4, for a 73-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $20.00.

TTM Success - Royle Stillman

My question to knock out another 1991 Crown Orioles card led me to Royle Stillman.  It also helped me add the above 1978 Topps to the autograph album. He signed the card in blue ballpoint, and it turned out nicely.

The signature on the 1991 Crown turned out well, also.  I haven't counted how many of these that I've gotten, or how many I could still add, but they're fun to put in the album. 

Stillman (b. 1951) played in the majors from 1975 to 1977 for the Orioles and White Sox. He had 33 hits, 3 home runs and a .213 batting average. 

I mailed to Stillman on November 5 and got the cards back on December 2, for a 27-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Mark Mangum

This 1997 Bowman of Mark Mangum was my second success from him.  I had gotten him TTM back in 2021, and figured it was time to send to him again to get this one oit of the box.  I had forgotten that I got that 2021 success, but it wouldn't have stopped me from sending this one out, too.

I mailed to Mangum on October 28 and got the card back on December 2, for a 35-day TAT.

TTM Success - Brett Evert

This 2001 Bowman of Brett Evert was another card out of the stack of older Bowmans from Ryan. I sent it out TTM and got it back signed in black Sharpie. 

Evert (b. 1980) was a 7th round pick by the Braves in the 1999 June Amateur Draft out of North Salem High School in Oregon. He played in the minors from 1999 to 2007 in the Braves, Mariners, Brewers and Red Sox. He wound up reaching AAA. He had a record of 43-50, 714 strike outs and a 3.88 ERA.

I mailed to Evert on November 20 and got the card back signed, along with a note telling me happy holidays, on December 2, for a 12-day TAT.

TTM Success - Nathan Panther

Here is another older Bowman card that my friend Ryan sent me to try TTM. Nathan Panther has one of those great names, so I was excited to get his card back signed. 

Panther (b. 1981) was a 15th round pick by the Indians in the 2002 June Amateur Draft out of Muscatine Community College in Iowa. He played in the minors from 2002 to 2008 in the Indians system. He reached AAA. He had 594 hits, 56 home runs and a .255 batting average. He played in Kinston during the 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons.

I mailed to Panther on February 5, 2025, and got the card back signed on December 2, 2026, for a 300-day TAT.
