Another TTM Success From Jon Lieber

Back in 2017, I received a TTM success from Jon Lieber.  In the meantime, I have acquired a bunch more boxes of cards and came across several nice Liebers that I wanted to send to him.  So, I decided it was a good time to send out another request, and these signed cards are the results.

The 1995 Topps Finest shown above was one of the cards that I absolutely wanted to see come back.  I obviously had removed the protective UV film that used to come on the card, and it turned out great.

In the package, I also sent a 2002 Fleer Focus, 2007 Topps Chrome, 1992 Stadium Club and a 1998 Stadium Club.

I mailed to Lieber on January 28 and got the cards back on February 13, for a 16-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Jermaine Allensworth

Back in 2016, I got Jermaine Allensworth to sign 4 cards TTM for me.  With the ones I had built up in the time since then, I was due to send to him again.  This 1997 Topps Gallery was one of the keys to why wanted to send to him again.  I had an assortment of these that came in one of the 5,000-count boxes that I got from my former LCS.

I also had Allensworth sign a 1997 Topps Chrome, 1997 Pacific and a 1997 Leaf Limited.

Finally here are some landscape oriented cards that I got signed, a 1994 Upper Deck Top Prospects and a 1998 Stadium Club.  All of the cards look great, and I am glad to be able to move them into my album.

I mailed to Allensworth on December 22 and got the cards back on January 11, for a 20-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Todd Greene

I got Todd Greene TTM back in February 2017, and he was another former player who I kept finding cards of, so I sent to him again and got some really nice stuff signed.  The above 1998 Topps Finest really looks nice in person.

He also signed a 1997 Studio, 2000 Topps, 96 Upper Deck SP Premier Prospects and a 1997 Leaf Limited Counterparts.  All of these look really nice.

Finally, here is a 1998 Stadium Club that really looks good.  Stadium Club almost always has the best photography, and they look great when signed.

I mailed to Greene on December 21 and got the cards back on January 11, for a 21-day TAT.

TTM Success - Aaron Akin

I got these late 90s prospect cards out of one of the boxes I got from my LCS a while back.  The above 98 Stadium Club that I got back TTM from Aaron Akin turned out pretty well.  I like the look of the card; it is tough to see from the scan but there are some embossed ball laces on the card, which makes it kind of cool.

I also got this 1998 Bowman signed by Akin.  I've got a bunch of late 90s Bowmans now, and it is kind of interesting to look back at some of the former prospects who weren't able to crack the majors.

Akin (b. 1977) was a first round pick (12th overall) by the Marlins in the 1997 June Amateur Draft out of Cowley County Community College.  It sounds like an obscure community college, but they boast former players like Trevor Rosenthal, Travis Hafner and Junior Spivey.

Akin played in the minors from 1997 to 2000, reaching High-A ball.  He had a record of 9-20 with 152 strike outs and a 4.42 ERA.  He went on to play 2 seasons in independent ball where he went 0-7 with a 6.18 ERA.

I mailed to Akin on November 18 and got the cards back on December 2, for a 14-day TAT.
