TTM Success - Sean Conner

Here is a nice 2009 Bowman that I added to the autograph album.  This card of Sean Conner came back signed TTM in black Sharpie.  His signature looks very close to the facsimile autograph on the card, so i guess it hasn't changed much over the years.

Conner (b. 1987) was a 10th round pick by the Reds in the 2008 June Amateur Draft out of Palm Beach State.  He played in the minors from 2008 to 2010 in the Reds system.  He reached A ball.  He had 100 hits, 9 home runs and a .228 batting average.

I mailed to Conner on February 6 and got the card back on February 14 for an 8-day TAT. 

May 2025 Graphing of Jackals at Bird Dawgs

The New Jersey Jackals came to town last week and I was able to get some nice cards signed.  I had some help from Chris and Jesse.

It was cool that a former major leaguer was on the Jackals.  Miguel Gomez was really nice and signed everything we had.

Chris got a bunch of them done which helped me out since I missed the Wednesday day game.

I also had some nice 2018 Bowman Chrome Arbert Cipion.  I had gotten him a while ago when he was with the Mudcats.  I also got some team set cards of Colt Webb signed.

In all, we got the following autographs: Albert Cipion x 5, Miguel Gomez x 30 and Colt Webb x 4 (39 total autographs). 

TTM Success - Mike Frank

A couple more older Bowman cards were added to the autograph album when I got this TTM success back from Mike Frank.

These are a couple 1999 Bowman, and they turned out nicely.

Frank (b. 1974) played in the majors in 1997 for the Reds.  He had 20 hits, no home runs and a .225 batting average. 

I mailed to Frank on January 29 and got the cards back on February 13 for a 15-day TAT. 

Andrew Helps With a Mattingly

My buddy Andrew lives in Evansville, Indiana and has access to cheap signings with Don Mattingly.  He reached out to me and offered to take a Mattingly card of mine and get it signed for me if I wanted to pay the fee.  I was all for that, so I sent him this awesome insert from 1990 Bowman.  The card turned out great.

Thanks for getting the card done for me, Andrew.  If they keep these signings up in Evansville, I'll definitely send another along.

TTM SUccess - Brandon Williamson

Here are a couple recent cards that I was able to get signed TTM by Brandon Williamson.  The above 2024 Topps Heritage is a really nice card.  I loved that Heritage set, and was glad to get a few signed when I did.

I also sent off this 2023 Topps Update. The signature shows up a little better on this one than the Heritage.

Williamson (b. 1998) had played in the majors since 2023 for the Reds.  He has a record of 5-5 with 110 strike outs and a 4.39 ERA.  He hasn't pitched yet this season; he's on the 60-day IL.

I mailed to Williamson on January 13 and got the cards back on February 10 for a 28-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Dave Criscione

Here is yet another 1991 Crown Orioles card that I got signed TTM for the autograph album.  I had never heard of Dave Criscione.  He signed the card nicely and inscribed it with his uniform number. 

Criscione (b. 1951) played in the majors in 1977 for the Orioles.  He got into 7 games and had 3 hits, 1 home run and a .333 batting average. 

I mailed to Criscione on February 3 and got the card back on February 10 for a 7-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Andrew Owen

Here is a TTM success that was driven by my need to justify purchasing some cards.  A couple years ago, I bought a 10-card lot of 2019 Perfect game cards of Andrew Owen.  He had been drafted by the Rangers and I had hoped he would be a Wood Duck. He never made it to Kinston, and I was stuck with bis stuff (in the box next to Antonio Cabello, Bayron Lora and Kenen Irizarry.  I found an address for Owen and sent two of the 10 cards out TTM.  They came back signed.

Owen (b. 2002) was a 14th round pick by the Rangers in the 2022 July Amateur Draft out of Grossmont College in California. He went 1-2 with a 14.54 ERA and 4 strike outs at the Rangers Arizona complex league team.

I mailed to Owen on January 15 and got the cards back on February 7 for a 23-day TAT.
