TTM Success - Jeremy Eierman

I was able to take a couple cards that I had sent out for 50/50s that didn't get signed out of my box of shame and into my album by sending them TTM to Jeremy Eierman.  I can't remember who I sent them to for 50/50, but the person didn't see Eierman and the cards came back to me unsigned.  I saw that he was signing TTM, so I took a couple of the missed cards and sent them on their way.

Eierman (b. 1996) was a second round pick by the A's in the 2018 June Amateur Draft out of Missouri State University.  He has played two seasons in the A's system, reaching High A Stockton last year.  So far, he has 162 hits, 21 home runs and a .217 batting average.

I mailed to Eierman on September 26 and got the cards back on February 14, for a 141-day TAT.

Some California League 50/50s

I got a DM on Instagram earlier this season from a guy in California who watched me bust my 2019 Pro Debut boxes on my livestream.  He took a couple cards of a guy in that set, and got a 50/50 done for me.  He, then, offered to get me some cards signed by some of the guys in the California League (mostly), so I sent a bunch of cards his way.

He was only able to get a few of the cards done for me, but it was definitely quality over quantity.  He pushed the above Austin Beck shimmer refractor to the front of the line when I was able to cross JP Martinez off of his want list for his 2019 Pro Debut set.  The Beck turned out great, and I was super excited to get it back signed.

These 4 cards were the only other ones that he was able to get done for me.  I was disappointed, mainly because he had promised to get a Heliot Ramos done for me, but it didn't get signed, and didn't even make it back in the package.  My feelings aren't really hurt by that or anything, because stuff happens, but the thing I dislike the most is spending a ton of time searching for cards, then having to go and put it all back in the box.

Anyway, I'm glad I got what I got.  We'll see if I do another 50/50, or maybe if I do one, it might be on a much smaller scale.
