TTM Success - Bryce Denton

Here are a couple cards that I got out of my prospects box and signed TTM.  I actually sent to a Bryce Denton signing that my buddy, Gerard, put on, but the cards from that are buried beneath several other TTMs.  I'll get those posted sometime in the future.

I was able to get a 2016 Topps Pro Debut (top) and a 2015 Bowman (above) signed by Denton.  He signed both in ballpoint pen, which is ok, but I prefer blue Staedtler or Sharpie.

Denton (b. 1997) was a second round pick by the Cardinals in the 2015 June Amateur Draft out of a Tennessee high school.  He played in the Cardinals system from 2015 to 2019 and then in independent ball in 2021.  He had 294 hits, 19 home runs and a .237 batting average in his 5 minor league seasons.  This season, with independent Evansville, he is hitting .203 with 2 home runs and 29 hits.

I mailed to Denton on January 7 and got the cards back on April 3, for an 86-day TAT.

California 50/50s

I received a message on Instagram from my friend Dylan in California saying that he was going to an event organized by Daniel Robertson.  There were a good many players attending, and Dylan was nice enough to take some cards off of my hands for a 50/50.

I was really glad that Dylan was willing to take Brice Turang, since I still had a bunch of his cards on hand.  I didn't send him too many, because Dylan wasn't sure how many Turang would sign, but I believe he ended up taking 6 of my cards.  He actually sent 4 signed cards back, so Chris got one of the extras.

I sent Dylan every Josh Staumont that I had, since I had a bunch of his all together because I thought I would see him with Wilmington.  I never did see him, but it helped that they were all in one place.

I missed Cody Ponce signing this 2016 Pro Debut, so getting that out of the Box of Shame was nice.  I only had one Daniel Robertson, and Dylan was nice enough to not require another card as part of the 50/50.

I was disappointed that I missed sending him some of my 2013 Perfect Game Jacob Nix cards.  I forgot he was in that set.  It would have been nice to get rid of some of them.

I had the 2015 Bowman Rio Ruiz set aside for Orioles Fan Fest, but since they canceled it, I was able to get one back from Dylan.

Thank you so much for taking the cards, Dylan!
