Another TTM Success From Jeff Conine

1993 Upper Deck has some nice cards, many of them the team checklists. I finally completed the 1993 Upper Deck Florida Marlins Inaugural Catch card. Jeff Conine was the last player that I needed. I started with a Bret Barberie private signing in 2024. I added Orestes Destrade and Dave Magadan afterward. It came down to Conine, and a private signing on SCN finished the job.

I mailed to the signing on May 20 and got the card back on July 12, for a 53-day TAT. I paid a fee of $15.00.

Anither TTM Success From Dave Magadan

My 1993 Upper Deck Florida Marlins team checklist is almost complete now that I have added Dave Magadan to the card via a private signing. 

I was disappointed that the mail person left my mailbox open during a storm when the card was delivered.  The envelope was soaked, but the signatures weren't affected.  The card sustained a little damage by being a little warped.  I put it in a top loader to straighten it back out, and that seemed to work.  Note, the card was mailed back in a cardboard gold top loader, so that helped in keeping it from being completely destroyed.

The last signature I need for the card is Jeff Conine.

I mailed to the signing on March 8 and got the card back on May 16 for a 69-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $20.00.

TTM Success - Jeff Conine

This 1993 Topps card of Jeff Conine is a card that I had been wanting to get signed TTM for some time now.  I had sent one to him when he was signing briefly, but never got it back.  So, when I saw that he was signing via a private signing recently, I went ahead and sent the card along.  It came back looking great, and I am glad I went ahead and got it done.

I also sent this 2016 Bowman Chrome RC Flashback, since I thought it looked pretty cool.  It also turned out great, and was worth sending in.

Conine (b. 1966) played in the majors in 1990 and from 1992 to 2007 for the Royals, Marlins, Orioles, Phillies, Reds and Mets.  He had 1,982 hits, 214 home runs and a .285 batting average.  He finished 3rd in the 1993 NL Rookie of the Year voting, and was an All Star twice (1994 and 1995).  He won the World Series twice with the Marlins, 1997 and 2003.

He appeared on the 2013 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.

I mailed to the signing on February 23 and got the cards back on April 29, for a 65-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $30.00.
