TTM Success - Allan Ramirez

An Oriole who had eluded me for some time was finally added to the autograph album when I got two cards back signed TTM from Allan Ramirez. The above 1984 Topps turned out great. I had this card pulled for a while, but I missed a signing and had to hold the card and wait for the next one. I saw that Ramirez was signing TTM, so I located the card and sent it out.

I also sent the above 1991 Crown Orioles card out and got it back. 

Ramirez (b. 1957) played in the majors in 1983 for the Orioles. He went 4-4 with 20 strike outs and a 3.47 ERA.

I mailed to Ramirez on December 15 and got the cards back on January 5 for a 21-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Rich Reese

This 1969 Topps of Rich Reese was another card that I found recently at a card show. I had gotten Reese in the past, but wanted to add a 1969 Topps to the autograph album. 

I had gotten Reese TTM in 2023 on a 1971 Topps. Getting this 1969 done as well was nice 

I mailed to Reese on December 8 and got the card back on January 5, for a 28-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Chip Lohmiller

This 1993 Action Packed ABC's Monday Night Football card of Chip Lohmiller is a pretty cool card that Jesse found in a box at a card show. He was with me and told me that Lohmiller signed TTM, so I figured it would look cool in my autograph album. I was right.

Lohmiller (b. 1966) played professionally from 1988 to 1996 for the Redskins, Saints and Rams. He made 204 field goals with a 71.8% success rate. He won Super Bowl XXVI with the Redskins.

I mailed to Lohmiller on December 24 and got the card back on January 2, for a 9-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Scotty Layfield

Another early 2000s Bowman that Ryan sent me came back signed TTM recently. This 2002 Bowman of Scotty Layfield turned out well. I like the 2002 Bowman design; it os easy to recognize, unlike some of the other early 2000s Bowman designs, which all look similar.

Layfield (b. 1976) was a 20th round pick by the Cardinals in the 1999 June Amateur Draft out of Valdosta State University. He played in the minors from 1999 to 2003 in the Cardinals system, reaching AAA. He had a record of 11-15 with 222 strike outs and a 3.23 ERA.

I mailed to Layfield on December 12 and got the card back on January 3, for a 22-day TAT. 

TTM Success - John Fulgham

Finding early 80s cards to send out TTM are getting tougher to find these days. I did pull a couple of John Fulgham, who I hadn't sent to before. Above is a 1980 Topps, which turned out great.

I also got a 1981 Topps signed. This card is really sharp, and looks great. I always have liked this set, but am running low on bulk cards from the set. On one hand, I like clearing out the space in my boxes; on the other hand, I loke having options to send out. It's a conundrum. 

Fulgham (b. 1956) played in the majors in 1979 and 1980 for the Cardinals. He had a record of 14-12 with 123 strike outs and a 2.84 ERA.

I mailed to Fulgham on December 2 and got the cards back on January 2, for a 31-day TAT. I paid his fee of $5.00/card.

TTM Success - Derell McCall

Here are two Derell McCall cards that I was able to get signed TTM. I'm pretty sure that the above 2003 Bowman came from the stack of early 2000s Bowman that Ryan sent me.  I think the below 2003 Topps came out of my own box.

McCall (b. 1981) was a 10th round pick by the A's in the 2000 June Amateur Draft out of J. M. Tate High School in Florida. He played in the minors from 2000 to 2004 and 2007 to 2009 in the A's and Marlins systems. He reached AA in affiliated ball and also bounced around the independent leagues for a bit.

In the minors, McCall had a record of 45-52 with 531 strike outs and a 4.29 ERA. I mailed to McCall on December 10 and got the cards back on December 30, for a 20-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Mitch Harris

A 2015 Topps Update of Mitch Harris was rescued from my Topps box during a recent pass through my boxes. I was trying to find some recent cards to send out, and I saw that Harris signed pretty regularly. He signed my card in blue Sharpie.

Harris (b. 1985) played in the majors in 2015 for the Cardinals. He had a record of 2-1 with 15 strike outs and a 3.67 ERA.

I mailed to Harris on November 19 and got the card back on December 30, for a 41-day TAT.
