Another TTM Success From Justin Nicolino

Something I like to do from time to time (especially during the offseason) is go through the box of shame and pull some cards that I can try to send out TTM.  This helps reduce the cards in the box and make room for more guys that I'll miss out on the next season.  I got two Justin Nicolino cards out of the box.  I missed him in 2023 when he was with High Point. 
I got Nicolino TTM back in 2022 on a couple cards.  This time around, he signed a 2016 Topps (top) and 2012 Topps Pro Debut (above).  Both of the cards turned out nicely. 

I mailed to Nicolino on September 20 and got the cards back on January 15 for a 117-day TAT.

TTM Success - Justin Nicolino

Here are a couple cards I was able to get out of my Box of Shame and signed TTM recently.  These two Justin Nicolino cards had been sent to someone who had promised to take 50/50s for me; I got all of her junk custom cards signed, but she proceeded to lose my stuff, conveniently, and not get anything signed for me.  She also hounded me constantly about whether or not players liked her terrible custom jobs.  Needless to say, once I got the partial package back of my stuff that she "found" later on, she got the block.
Anyway, I rescued two of the Justin Nicolino cards from the box and sent them off; a 2015 Topps Heritage Minors and a 2015 Bowman.

Nicolino (b. 1991) played in the majors from 2015 to 2017 for the Marlins.  He had a record of 10-13 with 86 strike outs and a 4.65 ERA.

I mailed to Nicolino on February 2 and got the cards back on April 12, for a 69-day TAT.
