TTM Success - Griffin Burkholder

Griffin Burkholder signed this 2025 Topps Pro Debut card TTM for me back in January. While I was looking for his cards to send out, i went through the 2025 Pro Debuts that I had put aside in a box, right after I busted several hobby boxes. I noticed a Burkholder parallel that I didn't realize that I had pulled. I looked closer at the card and saw 1/1. So, I busted something like three boxes, immediately put everything aside and didn't realize I had pulled a 1 of 1? Talk about embarrassing. Even more, when I wrote Burkholder for this TTM, I mentioned that I had his 1/1 and he could check out my Instagram if he wanted to see it. Crickets. Maybe he doesn't collect his own cards? Oh well, it's my first 1/1 in a long time and... it's put aside... for safe keeping. 

Burkholder (b. 2005) was a 2nd round pick by the Phillies in the 2024 July Amateur Draft out of Freedom High School in Virginia. He has played in the Phillies system since 2024, reaching A ball. He has 33 hits, 4 home runs and a .192 batting average. 

I mailed to Burkholder on January 10 and got the card back on January 28, for an 18-day TAT.
