TTM Success - Sheng-En Lin

Another current player that I was able to get to sign TTM recently was Reds prospect. Sheng-En Lin. He signed my 2024 Bowman Draft (above) and my 2025 Topps Pro Debut chrome and base cards (below).

I had his blue foil parallel, but had misplaced it. Of course I found it after I sent these off. Typical of me.

Lin (b. 2005) was an international signing by the Reds out of Taiwan. He has played in the Reds system since 2023 when he was 17. He has reached A ball, but spent this whole season on the IL. He has 74 hits, 3 home runs and a .258 batting average. 

I mailed to Lin on May 18 via Daytona, and got the cards back on June 18, for a 31-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Bryce Meccage

2025 Topps Pro Debut is a really nice set. The 2025 design itself is great, but there's just something I like about Pro Debut from that year. I got a couple more 2025 Pro Debut signed when these two (a base and a chrome) came back TTM from Bryce Meccage.

He had posted online that he would accept fan mail at his place at Spring Training, so I jumped on the chance to add more of his cards to the collection. I had gotten him in person at a Mudcats game.

Meccage (b. 2006) was a 2nd round pick by the Brewers in the 2024 July Amateur Draft out of the Pennington School in New Jersey. He has played in the Brewers system since 2025, reaching High A. He has a record of 2-5 with 84 strike outs and a 4.76 ERA.

I mailed to Meccage on February 14 and got the cards back on March 6, for a 20-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Bernard Moon

This is another signed 2025 Topps Pro Debut that has been added to the autograph album. I got this one signed TTM by Bernard Moon. The 2025 Topps design is such a good one, and the cards look great signed.

Moon (b. 2005) was a 16th round pick by the Reds in the 2023 July Amateur Draft out of Redan High School in Georgia. He has played in the Reds system since 2023, reaching A ball. He has 188 hits, 14 home runs and a .259 batting average. 

I mailed to Moon on January 23 and got the card back on February 5, for a 13-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Griffin Burkholder

Griffin Burkholder signed this 2025 Topps Pro Debut card TTM for me back in January. While I was looking for his cards to send out, i went through the 2025 Pro Debuts that I had put aside in a box, right after I busted several hobby boxes. I noticed a Burkholder parallel that I didn't realize that I had pulled. I looked closer at the card and saw 1/1. So, I busted something like three boxes, immediately put everything aside and didn't realize I had pulled a 1 of 1? Talk about embarrassing. Even more, when I wrote Burkholder for this TTM, I mentioned that I had his 1/1 and he could check out my Instagram if he wanted to see it. Crickets. Maybe he doesn't collect his own cards? Oh well, it's my first 1/1 in a long time and... it's put aside... for safe keeping. 

Burkholder (b. 2005) was a 2nd round pick by the Phillies in the 2024 July Amateur Draft out of Freedom High School in Virginia. He has played in the Phillies system since 2024, reaching A ball. He has 33 hits, 4 home runs and a .192 batting average. 

I mailed to Burkholder on January 10 and got the card back on January 28, for an 18-day TAT. 

TTM Success - PJ Morlando

Some recent cards got signed TTM back in January when these came in from PJ Morlando. I got a 2025 Topps Pro Debut (above) signed, along with a 2023 Panini Stars and Stripes (below, middle) and a 2025 Bowman Chrome Mojo (below, right).

The 2023 Leaf Perfect Game (above, left) was added by Morlando, which was a nice touch.

Morlando (b. 2005) was a 1st round (16th overall) pick by the Marlins in the 2024 July Amateur Draft out of Summerville High School in South Carolina.

He has played in the Marlins system since 2024, reaching Single A Jupiter. So far in his career, he has 58 hits, 7 home runs and a .212 batting average. 

I mailed to Morlando on January 10 and got the cards back on January 24, for a 14-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Sean Keys

A few 2025 Topps Pro Debut cards came back signed TTM by Sean Keys. The above purple foil parallel turned out great.

I also sent a chrome and a base; both of these also look great.

Keys (b. 2003) was a 4th round pick by the Blue Jays in the 2024 June Amateur Draft out of Bucknell. He has played in the minors since 2024 in the Blue Jays system, reaching AA. So far in his career, he has 118 hits, 21 home runs and a .230 batting average.

I mailed to Keys on December 26 and got the cards back on January 10, for a 15-day TAT.
