TTM Success - Keith Hessler

Here are a couple nice cards I got signed by Keith Hessler via TTM.  They are a 2016 Topps gold and a 2016 Topps base.

Hessler (b. 1989) played in the majors from 2015 to 2016 for the Diamondbacks and Padres.  He had a record of 1-1 with 23 strike outs and a 5.56 ERA.

I mailed to Hessler on December 4 and got the cards back on January 14, for a 41-day TAT.

TTM Success - Auston Bousfield

You have to look really closely, but I did get three cards back signed TTM from Auston Bousfield.  I guess he needs a new pen, but I have these signed now and got them out of my 2014 Bowman box.

Bousfield signed a blue paper 2014 Bowman, as well as base and a chrome.  I wish they had come out better, but at least they are signed.

Bousfield (b. 1993) was a fifth round pick in the 2014 June Amateur Draft by the Padres out of the University of Mississippi.  He played in the Padres system from 2014 to 2018, reaching AAA.  He had 397 hits, 18 home runs and a .239 batting average.

I mailed to Bousfield on January 4 and got the cards back on January 14, for a 10-day TAT.

TTM Success - Tink Hence

I got another 2020 Bowman Draft card signed when I got this one back TTM from Tink Hence.  That's a pretty cool name, all-around, I think.  The card looks great and even better in my now 14th album.  I filled #13 up this weekend and moved on to #14.

Hence (b. 2002) was a 2nd round pick by the Cardinals in the 2020 June Amateur Draft out of Watson Chapel High School in Arkansas.  Due to the pandemic, he didn't play in organized ball this past season.  Interesting to see where the Cardinals start him out in his minor league career.

I mailed to Hence on January 4 and got the card back on January 13, for a 9-day TAT.

TTM Success - Herm Winningham

I added another 1987 Topps to my set with this TTM success from Herm Winningham via a private signing on SCN.  I had been wanting to send to Winningham for a while, and finally sent in to this signing.

Winningham (b. 1961) played in the majors from 1984 to 1992 for the Mets, Expos, Reds and Red Sox.  He had 452 hits, 19 home runs and a .239 batting average.  He won the World Series with the Reds in 1990.

I mailed to the signing on November 21 and got the card back on January 13, for a 53-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $12.00.

TTM Success - Gene Alley

Another 1973 Topps was added to my album when I got this TTM success back from Gene Alley. He signed this and the below Fleer sticker in ballpoint pen.

Alley (b. 1940) played in the majors from 1963-1973 for the Pitates. He had 999 hits, 55 home runs and a .254 batting average. He won the World Series in 1971 with the Pirates.

I mailed to Alley on December 22 and got the cards back on January 12, for a 21-day TAT.

TTM Success - Scott Hodges

This 1998 Bowman was signed TTM by Scott Hodges.  I had gotten a bunch of older Bowman (from 1997 to 2002 or so) in one of the boxes from my former LCS and I decided to send off some of the older ones to try to get them signed TTM.  A lot of the players, I had never heard of before, and Hodges was one of them.

Hodges (b. 1978) was a first round (38th overall) pick by the Expos in the 1997 June Amateur Draft out of Henry Clay High School in Lexington, Kentucky.  He played in the Expos/Nations system for 9 seasons, reaching AAA.  He had 768 hits, 55 home runs and a .270 batting average.

I mailed to Hodges on December 22 and got the card back on January 11, for a 20-day TAT.

TTM Success - Al Unser Jr.

Here is another nice 2008 Donruss Legends that I was able to get signed, this one being a TTM success from Al Unser, Jr.  The card looks really cool now that it is signed.

Unser (b. 1962) is a two-time Indy 500 winner and winner of 34 Indy Car Series races.  He is one of the most decorated Indy Car racers and was inducted into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame in 2007.  He was also inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2009.

I mailed to Unser on December 19 and got the card back on January 11, for a 23-day TAT.
