TTM Success - Ryan Tatusko

Yet another 2011 Bowman Chrome was pulled from the Bowman box and sent out TTM for signature. I found a working address for Ryan Tatusko and mailed the card out. The marker he used seems a little rough, but in the end, the card is still signed. It could very well have come from him putting the card back in the envelope while it was still wet. 

Tatusko (b. 1985) was an 18th round pick by the Rangers in the 2007 June Amateur Draft out of Indiana State University. He played in the minors from 2007 to 2014 in the Rangers and Nationals systems. He had a record of 45-53 with 627 strike outs and a 3.93 ERA. He would reach AAA before calling it a career.

I mailed to Tatusko on December 12 snd got the card back on December 29 for a 17-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Don Buford

Another 1991 Crown Orioles card was put into the autograph album when this one came back signed TTM from Don Buford. I originally got Buford to sign TTM back in 2016, well before I bought the Crown set off of Chandy at a card show. Chandy was a good man; i was very sad when he passed away a couple years ago. I'm glad the set was bought from him, since many of the cards from the set will live on in my autograph album. 

I mailed to Buford on December 15 and got the card back on December 27 for a 12-day TAT. I paid his fee of $5.00.

TTM Success - Jason Szuminski

This 2004 Bowman of Jason Szuminski was another card that came from Ryan. I sent it out TTM, and it came back signed in black Sharpie.

Szumimski (b. 1978) played in the majors in 2004 for the Padres. He had no record, 5 strike outs and a 7.20 ERA.

I mailed to Szuminski on December 17 and got the card back on December 27, for a 10-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Bill Lee

Bill Spaceman Lee is always a fun addition to the autograph album. I found this 2023 Panini Zenith in a box at a card show. The card is really cool, and turned out nicely, once it was signed.

I mailed to Lee on December 13 and got the card back on December 27, for a 14-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Rich Morales

Another 1971 Topps was added to the autograph album when this card from Rich Morales came back signed TTM. His marker looks like it may be about to dry out, but the signature still looks good. I had originally gotten Morales to sign TTM back in 2020 on two cards.

I mailed to Morales on November 25 and got the card back on December 27, for a 32-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Brian Dallimore

One of the 2004 Bowman Chrome cards that Ryan sent me came back signed TTM by Brian Dallimore. 2004 Bowman is a sharp looking set, and the card looks good signed (even though the signature is hard to see in the scan).

Dallimore (b. 1973) played in the majors in 2004 and 2005 for the Giants. He had 13 hits, 1 home run and a .260 batting average. 

I mailed to Dallimore on September 4 abd got the card back on December 27, for a 114-day TAT.

TTM Success - Jim Driscoll

This 1971 Topps Athletics Rookie Stars card was sitting in my to-be-TTMed box for quite a while until I finally sent it out to Jim Driscoll. I don't think the card came from Conrad's bulk 1971 box; I feel like I found it at a card show. I knew I wouldn't complete the card, as Angel Mangual passed away in 2021. Still, it's a cool card, and I'm happy to get some ink on it. 

Driscoll (b. 1944) played in the majors in 1970 and 1972 for the A's and Rangers. He had 10 hits, 1 home run and a .143 batting average. 

I mailed to Driscoll on December 8 and got the card back on December 24, for a 16-day TAT.
