Another TTM Success From Eddie Taubensee

Here are some cards that I pulled out of the late 90s/early 2000s boxes from the old LCS and sent off TTM.  Eddie Taubemsee signed all three cards.  The above 2000 Upper Deck is a really nice card.

I also got a 1998 Bowman and a 2002 Topps signed. The Bowman is a foil Hometown Heroes card.

I mailed to Taubensee on January 18 and got the cards back on February 1 for a 14-day TAT. 

More 50/50s From Jackson in AZ

My buddy, Jackson in Arizona, sent back some more of the cards that he had gotten signed for me this summer.  He has had to send the stuff back in phases, as he has most of the stuff I sent scattered about his room.

Still, some good stuff got signed, and I am really happy because of it.  Jackson hooked me up, and I was able to add a ton to my album.

I had sent to Eddie Taubensee TTM and got some cards back, but these two above weren't represented, so it was nice to get them out of my box and into the album.  The Donruss Joe Oliver might have been nice to try to get signed myself, but he had gotten really tough last year when he was a coach with Salem.  He didn't return this season, so it was a moot point.

This assortment was also nice.  I was informed later that Jim Gott was not the pitcher on the Giants leaders card, even though he signed it.  I will need to send to the proper pitcher on the card.  Someone told me, but the name escapes me.

Thanks for getting these signed, Jackson!  I really appreciate it.

TTM Success - Eddie Taubensee

Here is a TTM success with a wide range of 1990s cards.  I was lucky enough to have a bunch of different cards to choose from when I mailed my TTM request to Eddie Taubensee on November 8.  The above 1997 Finest Warriors was another card that I "prepped" beforehand using one of Chris's school erasers.  This card came out looking great, and I really feel like the eraser is doing the trick.  I have recently sent out a batch using baby powder instead of the eraser, and I am interested to see if that holds up as well.  I will obviously let you guys know if I get that success.

I was able to turn one of my surplus 1995 Topps cards into a TTM success.  I had a bunch left over after purchasing boxes of Series 1 and 2 in order to make a dent in my set.  At the time, I didn't have any 1995s represented in my Topps Autograph Project, but now, quite a few have come back, with several more pending.

I was happy to send this card off as well, since it came out of a binder that my mom had put together back in 1994.  She was working on the 1994 Collectors Choice Silver Signature set, and had an extra of this card in the binder.  When I saw that Taubensee signed, it was a no-brainer that this one was getting sent in.  The fact that it is a horizontal card helps as well.

Here are the other cards that I sent off.  Each of them turned out great, and I am glad I chose to send what I sent.

Taubensee (b. 1968) played in the majors from 1991 to 2001 for the Indians, Astros and Reds.  He had 784 hits, 94 home runs and a .273 batting average.

I mailed to Taubensee on November 8 and got the cards back on November 19, for an 11-day TAT.
