TTM Success - Bryant Packard

This 2019 Bowman Chrome blue refractor f Bryant Packard was a card left over from when I went to an ECU game last season. I missed Packard at the game and put the cards aside.

This season, I didn't see myself getting out to ECU for a game, so I took a couple of the cards and sent them to the school TTM to see if I could get Packard. I sent two cards and he sent one back. Thankfully, it was the better card he sent back. 

Packard (b. 1997) was a 5th round pick by the Tigers in the 2019 June Amateur Draft out of ECU. He played in the minors in 2019 and from 2021 to 2023 in the Tigers system. He would reach AA Erie by the time he retired from playing. Now he is coaching with ECU. He had a 162 hits, 16 home runs and a .250 batting average. 

I mailed to Packard via ECU on March 9 and got the card back on April 27, for a 49-day TAT.

TTM Success - Erik Miller

Recently, I made a push to send out some more recent cards TTM to steer away from the glut of 70s stuff I have been posting.  I got all of that 70s stuff a while back from Conrad's boxes, and now need to clear out room in the more recent stuff.  One of the cards I sent out was this 2019 Bowman Chrome of Erik Miller.  It came back signed in black Sharpie. 

Miller (b. 1998) has played in the majors since 2024 for the Giants.  He has a record of 8-5 with 105 strike outs and a 3.07 ERA.

I mailed to Miller on March 4 and got the card back on March 21 for a 17-day TAT. 

Some 50-50s From Dylan

My friend, Dylan, returned the 50/50s that he got done for me this past season.  He took a bunch of stuff out of my prospects boxes and got them done for me.  The above 2019 Bowman Chrome Ethan Hankins was one that I wanted to get done for a while. 

Dylan hooked me up with these nice Sal Frelicks.  I was glad to see the Invicta get signed, finally.

I had gotten Branden Boissiere and Daylen Lile when I saw Fredericksburg.  I was also glad to get this parallel of Roismar Quintana added to the album. 

I had gotten Jimmy Crooks, III TTM back when 2022 Bowman Draft came put.  Dylan finished him off for me.

Here are some others he got done: Cooper Hjerpe, Maikol Escotto, Jose Salas, Victor Lizzaraga, Junior Sanquentin, Hendry Mendez and Luke Gold.

I was really glad to add a couple Jackson Merrill to the autograph album. I've heard good things about him.

Thank you so much for taking these cards and getting them done, Dylan!

TTM Success - Will Smith

I added a cool card to my autograph album with this TTM success from Will Smith.  Not that Will Smith.  The Will Smith pictured on the card.  Duh.

He signed the card with a silver Sharpie, and it shows up a lot better in person.

Smith (b. 1995) made his Major League debut last season with the Dodgers.  He had 43 hits, 15 home runs and a .253 batting average.  He was a 1st Round (32nd overall) pick by the Dodgers in the 2016 June Amateur Draft out of the University of Louisville.

I mailed to Smith via the Oklahoma City Dodgers on May 22, 2019 and got the card back on March 20, 2020, for a 303-day TAT.  I sent three cards, and he signed one.
