TTM Success - Peter Kussow

Here is another 2025 Bowman Draft TTM success; this one being from Mets pitcher, Peter Kussow. The cards turned out great.

Kussow (b. 2006) was a 4th round pick by the Mets in the 2025 July Amateur Draft out of Arrowhead Union High School in Wisconsin. He has not yet made his professional debut. 

I mailed to Kussow on February 11 via Mets Spring Training and got the card back on February 27, for a 16-day TAT. 

I had heard that some prospects and draft picks were signing at Spring Training this season, so I gave a few a shot. It worked.

TTM Success - Alejandro Freire

Here is a Spring Training TTM success from this year. I had held onto these Alejandro Freire cards in my to-be-TTMed box for a while once I realized he was a good TTM signer through the Rays. He was among the first batch I sent out to Spring Training this year, and one of the few that came back.

I got a 2006 Upper Deck and a 2006 Topps Rookie 52 signed. He is a firmer Oriole I can add to the autograph album and cross off of the list of former Os.

Freire (b. 1974) played in the majors in 2005 for the Orioles. He had 16 hits, 1 home run and a .246 batting average. 

I mailed to Freire via Rays camp on February 9 and got the cards back on February 27, for an 18-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Jayson Werth

Last night, I showed a TTM success from his father; tonight i show a TTM success from Jayson Werth. I signed up for a private signing on SCN for Werth, so I could get one of my older Orioles Bowmans out of my box. This 1998 Bowman Chrome turned out nicely. It was coincidence that both Werth successes came in on the same day.

Werth (b. 1979) played in the majors from 2002 to 2005 and 2007 to 2017 for the Blue Jays, Dodgers, Phillies and Nationals. He had 1,465 hits, 229 home runs and a .267 betting average. He was an All Star in 2009 and his best MVP finish was 8th (2010, NL). He won the World Series in 2008 with the Phillies. He appeared on the 2023 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.

I mailed to the signing on October 21 and got the card back on February 24, for a 126-day TAT.

TTM Success - Dennis Werth

Here are a couple cool cards that I found in my box and sent out TTM. They are sugned by Dennis Werth. He has a nice signature, and both cards look good.

Werth (b. 1952) played in the majors from 1979 to 1982 for the Yankees and Royals. He had 29 hits, 3 home runs and a .209 batting average. He is the father of former major leaguer, Jayson Werth.

I mailed to Werth January 2 abd got the cards back on February 24, for a 53-day TAT.

TTM Success - Tyler Kehrer

Here is a random 2010 Topps Pro Debut that I sent out TTM to Tyler Kehrer. I went through my box a while back and pulled a handful of the cards to try to send out. 

Kehrer (b. 1988) was a first round (48th over all) pick by the Angels out of Eastern Illinois University in the 2009 June Amateur Draft. He played in the Angels system from 2009 to 2012, reaching High A. He had a record of 13-12 with 257 strike outs and a 4.72 ERA.

I mailed to Kehrer on December 3 and got the card, along with a nice note on February 23, for a 82-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Tim Nordbrook

Back in 2024, I got Tim Nordbrook to sign a couple cards for me TTM. When I had sent those cards off, I couldn't find two of the cards I had pulled to send to him. Eventually, I did find them, so I sent to him again. One of the cards was the above 1977 SSPC. These are nice cards, and always look good when signed.

I also crossed this 1991 Crown Orioles card off. I'm not sure where I had put the cards, but it was probably "somewhere I would find them". I mean, I did find them.

I mailed to Nordbrook on December 16 and got the cards back on February 23, for a 69-day TAT.

TTM Success - Randy Couture

This really cool acetate card of Randy Couture is something I found at a card show and sent out TTM. Chris has me watching UFC much more regularly lately, and I have found that I enjoy it. 

Couture (b. 1963) is a six-time UFC champion. He holds a 19-11 record in MMA. 7 of his wins came by knockout and 4 were by submission. He was elected to the UFC Hall of Fame in 2006.

I mailed to Couture on February 7 and got the card back on February 21, for a 14-day TAT.
