A Bunch of Signed Cards From Michael

I got a bunch of signed cards in a deal recently from Michael, which helped push me to get some of that stuff out of my box, scanned and into my album.  I had this 2017 Donruss silver parallel of Jonathan Villar that he got signed for me a couple years ago just sitting and waiting to be scanned.  I finally got around to it, and it is now in my album.

I love this JJ Hardy certified auto from 2004 Topps.  Hardy was a great pickup by the Orioles.  I wish he could have stayed healthy there at the end, as he was a huge part of their defense that was sorely missed once he was gone.

Michael sent a ton of signed cards to clear out some extras that he had.  I needed all of the ones I scanned, as far as I could tell.

A few of these save me some stamps on what would have been future TTM requests.

This is the first signed soccer card that I've gotten.  I'm not a soccer fan, but the card will still go into the album.

I sent to David Hale fairly recently, and got a nice return.  I didn't have this card, though, but now I do.

Thanks for all of the cards, Michael!  I apologize for how long it took to get the Villar posted.

TTM Success - Alex Dickerson

I've enjoyed adding fairly recent cards to my autograph album, and this success from Alex Dickerson put a few nice ones in there.  I like the 1990 Donruss design, and when the 2017 design came out, I enjoyed the throwback to that set.  I was glad to get this 2017 Donruss signed; I just wish Dickerson had a better signature.

He also signed a black border 2011 Bowman and a 2016 Allen & Ginter.  Both cards are nice, and I'm glad to add them to my album.  Speaking of, I have slots for 5 more cards in this album, then it is on to fill another.

Dickerson (b. 1990) has played in the majors in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2020 for the Padres and Giants.  He has 134 hits, 20 home runs and a .257 batting average.

I mailed to Dickerson on May 30 and got the cards back on June 15, for a 16-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From Wade Boggs

I've been plotting for quite a while to send a TTM request to Wade Boggs again.  I finally did it recetly, and am very happy with the cards I sent and had returned.

The above 2017 Donruss was a card I really wanted to add to my album.  I loved the 1990 design, and I liked that it was resurrected for the 2017 design.  The autograph turned out really nicely, as well.

These two cards were ones I really wanted done.  I already had a Masterpieces in my album, from Hall of Famer, Brooks Robinson.  The card on the left is a 1990 Score Dream Team card.  It also looks great.

Finally, here are the rest of the cards that I sent Boggs.  I thought the "Pressed Into Service" card from 2016 was really cool.  I needed the 1987 Topps All Star for my set, and I couldn't leave the 2013 Gypsy Queen White Border out.

I mailed to Boggs on January 9 and got the cards back on January 23, for a 14-day TAT.  I sent him $10 cash and got all 6 cards back.
