Another TTM Success From Steve Reed

This 2005 Topps Total of Aaron Rakers and Steve Reed was in one of my Orioles boxes. I pulled it so I could send it out TTM, that way I could have a signed Reed card showing him in an Orioles uniform. 

He's got a great signature.  Rakers doesn't sign much, so I'll probably have to hope for a private signing at some point. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out.

I mailed to Reed on October 22 and got the card back on November 6, for a 15-day TAT. 

TTM Success - David Newhan

All of a sudden, I've added several Topps Total cards to my autograph album, when I previously had none.  I busted packs of Topps Total a while back, but the cards seem to have disappeared.  I probably either gave them away or sold the lot at a show or something.  Anyway, I added another Topps Total card to my album with this TTM success from former Oriole, David Newhan.

I also added this 2006 Topps, which turned out great.  2006 is an underrated set, and I think, at some point, I'm going to find the Alex Gordon card and add it to my completed set.  I've seen them around, but I haven't been too serious about looking for them.

Newhan (b. 1973) played in the majors from 1999 to 2001 and 2004 to 2008 for the Padres, Phillies, Orioles, Mets and Astros.  He had 249 hits, 23 home runs and a .253 batting average.

I mailed to Newhan on October 15 and got the cards back on November 22, for a 38-day TAT.
