One of my longest TTM turn-around times happened recently when I got this lot of cards back signed by Jake Westbrook. I had sent the cards out in 2020, and finally got them all back signed this past August. A five-year turn. I never give up on my TTMs, but at some point, you have to be realistic that some of that old stuff isn't coming back. I was able to cross Jake Westbrook off of the ledger, and that was a great feeling.
I sent an assortment of Topps cards, from 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011. On top of that (and this post), I also sent a 2008 Upper Deck.
All of the cards turned out great. I was surprised that he signed all of the cards. I try not to send that many these days, if I can help it. Still, he signed them all and I'm glad.
Westbrook (b. 1977) played in the majors from 2000 to 2008 and 2010 to 2013 for the Yankees, Indians and Cardinals. He had a career record of 105-103 with 965 strike outs and a 4.32 ERA. He was an All Star in 2004. He won the World Series with the Cardinals in 2011.
I mailed to Westbrook on June 5, 2020, and got the cards back on August 12, 2025, for a 1,894-day TAT.
