I sent off a bunch of TTM requests to start the new year, and a few of them were of guys I had gotten in the past. Sid Bream, for example, was someone I needed on some 1987 Topps cards. I sent a few 87s out to a few other guys to see if I could get them back. Ron Gant doesn't have a card in the 1987 set, so I thought I was done sending to him. That is, until I found the above 2014 Stadium Club Firebrand insert at my LCS.
The card floated around my card room for about a year, until I finally put it in my "to be TTMed" box. I ended up sending it out earlier this month, and am glad I did so. It is made of wood, and turned out pretty well. I was afraid it would break in transit, but it turned out ok.
I added a few other cards to the request, including this 1996 Gallery that I picked up while I was visiting Andrew back in May.
I also wanted to add a couple Topps cards to the pile, so I sent a 1989 and a 1999. What a huge difference 10 years makes.
I mailed the cards out to Gant on January 2 and got the cards back on January 11, for a 9-day TAT.
