Another TTM Success From Derin McMains

When I found and pulled this card at the National, I had already forgotten that I got Derin McMains TTM back in 2024. I pulled this 2007 Bowman blue parallel and added it to my pile. 

I got home and searched my 2007 box and found this 2007 Bowman Chrome. I could have saved myself some time had I searched here and saw that I already had gotten a 2007 Bowman Chrome signed during that initial TTM submittal. Oh well. Of course, I pulled a few other guys during that pass through the box.

I mailed to McMains on August 13 and got the cards back on August 28, for a 15-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Chuck Tiffany

Yet another card that I picked up at the National came back signed TTM. This is a 2005 Bowman Heritage Blue Backs insert of Chuck Tiffany. I found it in one of the boxes at the show and figured I'd give it a shot to try him TTM. It came back looking great.

Tiffany (b. 1985) was a second round pick by the Dodgers in the 2003 June Amateur Draft out of Charter Oak High School in California. He played in the minors from 2003 to 2006 and 2008 in the Dodgers and Rays systems. He would reach AA before spending a few seasons in the independent leagues. He had a record of 17-13 with 322 strike outs and a 4.00 ERA.

I mailed to Tiffany on August 12 and got the card back on August 27, for a 15-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Ryan Cameron

Another card I found at the National was this 2003 UD Sweet Spot of Ryan Cameron. I thought it was a pretty cool card and saw that Cameron signed TTM. The card looks great.

Cameron (b. 1977) was an 11th round pick by the Rockies in the 1998 June Amateur Draft out of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He played in the minors from 1998 to 2007 in the Rockies, Red Sox and Phillies systems. He wound up reaching AAA. He had a record of 48-51 with 886 strike outs and a 3.98 ERA.

I mailed to Cameron on August 4 and got the card back on August 25, for an 11-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Taylor Harbin

Another card that I picked up at the National came back signed TTM by Taylor Harbin. He signed this 2009 Bowman Chrome x fractor. His autograph looks different from the facsimile auto on the card from 17 years ago. 

Harbin (b. 1986) was an 8th round pick by the Diamondbacks in the 2007 June Amateur Draft out of Clemson. He played in the minors from 2007 to 2014 in the Marlins and Diamondbacks systems, reaching AAA. He had 849 hits, 60 home runs and a .266 batting average. 

I mailed to Harbin on August 13 and got the card back on August 24, for an 11-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Don Kessinger

This 1969 Topps Deckle Edge card of Don Kessinger is another card that ai picked up at this year's National. I saw it and knew I could get it signed, so I added it to my pile.

I spent more time sitting at one table (because they had chairs) looking through their bargain bins that I did looking at showcases.

I mailed to Kessinger on August 5 and got the card back on August 22, for a 17-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Rod Henderson

Here is a cool 1994 Bowmans Best card that I found in. A bargain box at the National this year. I found a bunch of cool cards at the show to try and send out TTM. This one was the first to come back, from Rod Henderson. The card looks really cool, and turned out great.

Henderson (b. 1971) played in the majors in 1994 and 1998 for the Expos and Brewers. He had a record of 0-1 with 4 strike outs and a 9.58 ERA.

I mailed to Henderson on August 10 and got the card back on August 22, for a 12-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Ryan Pepiot

This 2022 Topps Holiday insert of Ryan Pepiot was sitting around in my box for a while. I found it after I had gotten Pepiot TTM back in 2023, misplaced it when I sent to him at Spring Training in 2025, then found it again. So, it is finally signed. It's a cool parallel, even though it is hard to see his signature. 

He has been on the IL all season. Maybe he will rehab in Durham next year, once the lockout ends.

I mailed to Pepiot on July 18 and got the card back on August 18, for a 31-day TAT.
