TTM Success - Derek Dietrich

This was a nice TTM success that came in from Derek Dietrich that added some recent cards to m autograph album.  The above 2018 Topps turned out nicely.

I also got three different 2019 Topps (top left, 2019 Topps Update; top right, 2019 Topps Holiday and bottom left, 2019 Topps base) and a 2020 Topps signed by Dietrich.

Dietrich (b. 1989) played in the majors from 2013 to 2020 for the Marlins, Reds and Rangers.  He had 536 hits, 84 home runs and a .245 batting average.

I mailed to Dietrich on October 11 and got the cards back on January 9, for a 90-day TAT.

TTM SUccess - Nick Anderson

I really enjoyed 2019 Topps Holiday.  I bought a couple blaster boxes and have gotten a few of the cards signed.  They look cool in my album, and I hope to get a few more signed soon.  This TTM success from Nick Anderson is the latest card from this set that I was able to get done.

I have been more conscious of getting Marlins signed, since my buddy Dugan is a huge fan of theirs.  For some reason their cards already stand out to me, and now that he is working on Marlins autos, I've kept my eye out for some, as well.

Anderson (b. 1990) has played in the majors since 2019 for the Marlins and Rays.  He has a career record of 6-5 with 135 strike outs and a 2.81 ERA.

I mailed to Anderson on June 10 and got the cards back on July 2, for a 22-day TAT.

TTM Success - Devin Smeltzer

I always enjoy getting 2013 Leaf Perfect Game cards out of my box.  I bought several hobby boxes of these a few years ago at The National for cheap, but got stuck with a lot of commons.  Thankfully, I have been able to get a coupld of them signed recently TTM.  I also like Devin Smeltzer's inscription on the above card "Goateeless Days".  That's a good one.

I also got a 2019 Topps Holiday signed by Smeltzer.  It turned out really well, too.

Smeltzer (b. 1995) has played in the majors since 2019 for the Twins.  He has a career record of 4-2 with 51 strike outs and a 4.45 ERA.

I mailed to Smeltzer on June 1 and got the cards back on June 9, for an 8-day TAT.

TTM Success - Ryan Helsley

I like adding different kinds of cards to my autograph album.  I had hoped that when I busted a blaster box of 2019 Topps Holiday, that I would be able to get a few cards signed.  Thankfully, I got this Ryan Helsley back signed when I sent to him TTM.

Helsley also signed this 2017 Topps Heritage Minors.  I still have a good many 2017 Heritage Minors left in my minors box, but I had knocked the number down significantly over the years.

Helsley (b. 1994) pitched in the majors for the Cardinals in 2019.  He has a record of 2-0 with 32 strike outs and a 2.95 ERA.

I mailed to Helsley on January 6 and got the cards back on February 7, for a 32-day TAT.
