TTM Success - Travis Adams

A signed 2026 Topps came back TTM from Travis Adams after I sent it to him at Spring Training. There isn't a whole lot going on with his signature, but it is signed and in the album now.

Adams (b. 2000) had played in the majors since 2025 for the Twins. He has a career record of 2-4 with 63 strike outs and a 6.94 ERA.

I mailed to Adams on February 14 via Twins camp and got the card back on March 25, for a 39-day TAT.

TTM Success - Doug Jennings

This 1989 Topps that I got signed TTM by Doug Jennings turned out great. The A's cards in the 1989 set always looked cool. I guess it's how the green and yellow team name and player name ribbon really pop on the card. 1989 will always be a good-looking set in my opinion. 

Jennings (b. 1964) played in the majors from 1988 to 1991 and 1993 for the A's and Cubs. He had 65 hits, 5 home runs and a .202 batting average. 

I mailed to Jennings on October 30, 2024, and got the card back on March 24, 2026, for a 510-day TAT.

TTM Success - Scott Ruskin

This 1993 Topps card of Chris Ruskin came back signed looking nice from a TTM submission I sent out not too long ago. I'm surprised that I'm still finding new guys who sign TTM out of some of those Junk Wax Era cards. 

Ruskin (b. 1963) played in the majors from 1990 to 1993 for the Pirates, Expos and Reds. He had a record of 11-9 with 146 strike outs and a 3.95 ERA. 

I mailed to Ruskin on March 7 and got the card back on March 23, for a 16-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Steve Soderstrom

Here are a couple nice 90s cards of Steve Soderstrom that I found in my boxes and sent out TTM. The above 1994 Upper Deck Top Prospects insert was a nice find in the boxes. I remember when 1994 Upper Deck came out, it was all the rage, especially the Electric Diamond parallels.

This 1997 Bowman also turned out nicely.

Soderstrom (b. 1972) played in the majors in 1996 for the Giants. He had a record of 2-0 with 9 strike outs and a 5.27 ERA.

I mailed to Soderstrom on February 25 and got the cards back on March 20, for a 23-day TAT. 

June 23-24, 2026, Graphing of the Brockton Rox at Bird Dawgs

Before I left for vacation a few weeks ago, I caught two games between the Brockton Rox and Down East Bird Dawgs. I caught Tuesday and Wednesday's games, and was able to get a few cards signed.

I was glad to get this card of Derek Bender signed. I wasn't sure what to expect from him, as he is the former Twins minor leaguer who had tipped his team's pitches to his opponent so his team's season would end early. Allegedly.

I got a few Perfect Game cards signed by Hayden Travinsky. I like having the option of getting Perfect Game cards signed; I just hate that they're so cumbersome to find.

I also got a few random team set cards signed. I bailed on the Thursday game since I still had cards to locate for my vacation. This is the last time I'll see the Bird Dawgs until mid-August.

In all, I got the following autographs: Derek Bender x 2, Brendan Bell x 4, Joe Kemlqge x 4 and Hayden Travinski x 6 (16 total autographs).

Another TTM Success From Chance Sisco

A friend of mine reached out recently with another private signing with Chance Sisco. I had gotten him a few times and had answered a private signing before, but i had more Sisco cards, the price was good and I wanted to help out his signing. So, I sent off this 2015 Topps Pro Debut gold parallel, along with a couple others. 

I was going to only send the Bowman card on the right, but I had mentioned to my friend Brayden about the signing, abd he said "I have two Siscos right here". So, he sent them to me. He didn't want one back signed, so I will keep it in my album myself.

Sisco is playing with the Chicago Dogs independent team this year. Maybe I can go check a game out while at the National soon.

I mailed to the signing on February 14 and got the cards back on March 20, for a 34-day TAT. I paid a fee of $5.00/card.

TTM Success - Mike Hartley

A couple more Junk Wax Era cards came back signed TTM; these.were from Mike Hartley. He signed the above 1993 Topps and the below 1994 Donruss.

Hartley (b. 1961) played in the majors from 1989 to 1993 and 1995 for the Dodgers, Phillies, Twins, Red Sox and Orioles. He had a record of 19-13 with 259 strike outs and a 3.70 ERA.

I mailed to Hartley on February 6 and got the cards back on March 20, for a 42-day TAT.
