Another TTM Success From Cla Meredith

These are some late 2000s cards that I was able to get signed TTM from former pitcher, Cla Meredith.  The above 2009 Upper Deck turned out nicely.  I don't have very many cards from that set, so getting this one signed added a nice card to the album. I'm sure I opened plenty of 09 Upper Deck, I must have dumped the cards at a show years ago.

I also got a 2007 Upper Deck First Edition, 2007 Topps and a 2008 O Pee Chee signed.

I had gotten Meredith several years back, so it was nice to add him to the album again. I mailed to him on March 23, 2022, and got the cards back on March 13, 2023, for a 355-day TAT.

TTM Success - Bob Howry

Here is a nice TTM success that I got from former pitcher, Bob Howry.  The above 2001 Topps Chrome turned out a lot better than the scan shows. 

I also got this 2008 O Pee Chee signed, and it looks really good.  I used to have a bunch of these, but they're gone.

Howry (b. 1973) played in the majors from 1998 to 2010 for the White Sox, Red Sox, Indians, Cubs, Giants and Diamondbacks.  He had a career record of 45-52 with 653 strike outs and a 3.84 ERA.

I mailed to Howry on January 5 and got the cards back on July 22, for a 198-day TAT.

TTM Success - Alex Gonzalez

This was a pretty cool TTM success from Alex Gonzalez.  It is a bit tougher to get returns from more recent players, but there are a few of them, now, who are actively signing.

Also, I have so much mid-to-late 2000s stuff, it is hard and time consuming for me to go through those boxes.  So, being able to put some of those cards to use is always a good feeling.

I chose some nice cards of Gonzalez to send along; the above horizontal cards were really nice ones.  I like the 1960 design on the 2009 Heritage, and the 2010 Topps Update looks really nice.

I also added a couple mid 2000s to the album, a 2006 Topps and a 2007 Topps.  I would like to get some more 2006 Topps so I can add more to the album.  I used to have a bunch, but they were damaged when I moved several years ago.

Gonzalez (b. 1977) played in the majors from 1998 to 2007 and 2009 to 2014 for the Marlins, Red Sox, Reds, Blue Jays, Braves, Brewers and Tigers.  He had 1,418 hits, 157 home runs and a .245 batting average.  He was an All Star in 1999 and won the World Series with the Marlins in 2003.

I mailed to Gonzalez on January 8 and got the cards back on January 27, for a 19-day TAT.
