TTM Success - Josh Willingham

The early 2000s had some mice products that I remember fondly.  One of them was 2006 Upper Decl Epic.  When I saw a private signing pop up for Josh Willingham, I was excited to add one of the few 06 Epics that I had left to my autograph album.  The card turned out awesome.

I went ahead and included this 2006 Flair Showcase, since I passed it in my box while looking for the UD Epic.  This card also turned out nicely.

Willingham (b. 1979) played in the majors from 2004 to 2014 for the Marlins, Nationals, A's, Twins and Royals.  He had 988 hits, 195 home runs and a .253 batting average.  He was a Silver Slugger Award winner in 2012.  He finished 9th in the NL Rookie of the Year Award voting in 2006.

I mailed to the signing on December 14 and got the cards back on February 7, for a 55-day TAT.

TTM Success - Jeff Harris

I was really happy to get these cards back from Jeff Harris. It was mainly because I really wanted to get a 2006 Upper Deck Epic card signed (and there is one shown below). I was also glad to get all three of these cards out of my box. 

I opened a few boxes of 06 Epic, which were very expensive. I sold off a lot of the cards, but a small handful survived several card shows and Ebay. Now, there is one in my album (along with the 2006 Topps and 2006 Flair Showcase).

Harris (b. 1974) played in the majors in 2005 and 2006 for the Mariners. He had a career record of 2-5 with 26 strike outs and a 4.26 ERA.

I mailed to Harris on April 25 and got the cards back on June 23, for a 59-day TAT.

Come and Join Our Group Case Break

Hi guys. Chris over at on card autos asked me to pair with him to do a group box break. I've never done one before, but I'm excited to try it. Basically, you claim one or more teams for $40-$45 per team (the price is based on the total price of the case we purchase and the cost for shipping out the final cards to each claimant).

Since Chris and I want this to be special, we chose a set that was close to both our hearts (and something that has some sick hits) and that would be 2006 UD Epic. If you don't know about Epic, check Chris' blog for a synopsis.

Don't forget, there are a LOT of hall of famers in this set. So, you know, just because the Pirates are not so good right now, wouldn't a Clemente relic be sweet?

I will relinquish my pick of the Tigers if someone wants to talk me out of them, lol.

The final price may depend on if we have filled all teams. Yes, you can claim more than one team. If you have any questions, email me at: wregenthal@hotmail.com or email Chris at cubsareawesome5@aol.com

Also, comment here, or Chris' blog to sign up. We will try our best to keep this updated quickly so people don't miss out.

If your favorite team has been claimed, don't be discouraged, like I said, think of the hall of famers who are included and try to go after their teams (Killebrew, Brett, Yount, Clemente, etc.). Definitely check out the checklist!

Thanks guys!
