TTM Success - Ron Wright

A nice stack of late 90s cards came out of the box wheb I mailed off to Ron Wright.  The above 1997 Bowman Chrome International card turned out great.

I also sent off this 1996 Topps Prospects card.  I'm not sure if I'm going to want to try to get it finished.  I guess it will depend on if I can find a Derrek Lee signing. We'll see about that.

I also sent out Wright's 1996 Bowman, 1997 Bowman, 1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars and his 1998 Bowman Chrome. 

Wright (b. 1976) played in the majors in 2002 for the Mariners.  He got into one game and didn't get a hit.  He had been drafted by the Braves in the 7th round of the 1994 June Amateur Draft out of Kamiakin High School in Washington.

He played in the minors from 1994 to 2003 in the Braves, Pirates, Reds, Devil Rays, Mariners, Indians and Tigers.  In his minor league career, he had 773 hits, 145 home runs and a .262 batting average. 

I mailed to Wright on October 2 and got the cards back on November 1, for a 30-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Cliff Politte

Here are some older cards that I got out of my boxes and sent TTM to Cliff Politte.  The above 1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars card turned out nicely.  I got a bunch of these from the former LCS and have been able to send a few out to get signed.

I also got a 1997 Bowman and 2003 Topps.  Both of these are pretty nice as well.

Politte (b. 1974) played in the majors from 1998 to 2006 for the Cardinals, Phillies, Blue Jays and White Sox.  He had a record of 22-23 with 342 strike outs and a 4.40 ERA.  He won the World Series in 2005 with the White Sox.

I mailed to Politte on January 18 and got the cards back on April 3 for a 76-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Scott Elarton

I had Scott Elarton's cards in my box for a long time before I finally made myself send the cards out.  They all turned out well, and I was glad to add them to my album.

Elarton (b. 1976) played in the majors from 1998 to 2001 and 2003 to 2008 for the Astros, Rockies, Indians and Royals.  He had a career record of 56-61 with 698 strike outs and a 5.29 ERA.

I mailed to Elarton on April 27 and got the cards back on May 8, for an 11-day TAT.
