TTM Success - Shane Andrews

These cards of Shane Andrews had been put aside for a while until I finally put them all together to send out to him TTM. I had seen that he signed and pulled the cards separately and put them in separate places "so I would remember where they were." Yeah, that didn't work. I finally got them all together and am happy with the results.

Andrews (b. 1971) played in the majors from 1995 to 2000 and 2002 for the Expos, Cubs and Red Sox. He had 375 hits, 86 home runs and a .220 batting average.

I mailed to Andrews on January 29 and got the cards back on March 14, for a 44-day TAT.

TTM Success - Jason Monti

Here is a nice 2007 Bowman Chrome of Jason Monti that I got signed TTM. His signature is basically an @, which is kind of weird. I could have saved myself a couple of stamps and done that one myself. 

Monti (b. 1985) was a 25th round pick by the Blue Jays in the 2007 June Amateur Draft out of Sacred Heart University. He played in the Blue Jays system in 2007 and 2008, reaching Low A. He had a record of 9-1 with 67 strike outs and a 4.42 ERA.

I mailed to Monti on October 6 and got the card back on March 14, for a 159-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Clint Zavaras

This 1990 Topps of Clint Zavaras was a nice addition to the autograph album until I checked and saw that I had gotten him TTM before. Oops. Oh well, another card has been removed from the boxes, and that's always a good thing.

I mailed to Zavaras on February 21 and got the card back on March 13, for a 20-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Joe Whitman

A couple 2024 Topps Pro Debut cards came back signed TTM from Joe Whitman. The above chrome refractor turned out great.

He also signed a base card that turned out great.

Whitman (b. 2001) was a second round pick by the Giants in the 2023 July Amateur Draft out of Kent State. He has played in the minors from 2023 to 2026 in the Giants system, reaching AAA. He has a record of 16-22 with 333 strike outs and a 4.53 ERA.

I mailed to Whitman on January 14 and got the cards back on March 13, for a 58-day TAT.

TTM Success - Bryan Rekar

Here are a couple Topps cards of former pitcher, Bryan Rekar that came bacl signed TTM recently. He signed a 1996 and a 2002 Topps.

Rekar (b. 1972) played in the majors from 1995 to 2002 for the Rockies, Devil Rays and Royals. He had a record of 25-49 with 383 strike outs and a 5.62 ERA.

I mailed to Rekar on November 25, 2024, and got the cards back on March 13, 2026, for a 473-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Joe Borchard

My friend Ryan sent me a couple older Bowman cards of Joe Borchard that I sent out TTM. They came back signed not too long after. I like this 2003 Bowman. I get them mixed up with 2001, since the designs are so similar (and 2004, too).

I also got this 2002 Bowman signed, and it also looks nice. I'm really glad Ryan sent me these older Bowmans that I didn't have in my boxes.

I mailed to Borchard on March 2 and got the cards back on March 12, for a 10-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Tony Richie

A nice 2004 Topps of Tony Richie came back signed TTM recently. I found the card in my broken 2004 set that I got from the former LCS and sent it out. Not much to his autograph, but Ruchie did sign it, so that's fine.

Richie (b. 1982) was a 4th round pick by the Cubs in the 2003 July Amateur Draft out of Florida State. He played in the minors from 2003 to 2008, all in the Cubs system, reaching AAA. He had 287 hits, 17 home runs and a .260 batting average. 

I mailed to Richie on February 28 and got the card back on March 10, for a 10-day TAT.
