TTM Success - Mike Rogodzinski

Here's another 1974 Topps that I was able to get signed TTM.  This card of Mike Rogodzinski turned out nicely.

Rogodzinski (b. 1948) played in the majors from 1973 to 1975 for the Phillies.  He had 25 hits, 2 home runs and a .219 batting average. 

I mailed to Rogodzinski on October 21 and got the card back on October 28, for a 7-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Bobby Floyd

Another TTM success from Bobbly Floys came in because I found this 1974 Topps in the boxes I got from Conrad.  I also found my 1991 Orioles Crown card and sent that out, as well.

I was glad to take another 1991 Crown out of the box. It turned out nicely.

I mailed to Floyd on October 18 and got the cards back on October 27, for a 9-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Dusty Odenbach

After a second attempt, I was able to get this 2009 Bowman Chrome signed by Dusty Odenbach.  I recently resent several failed TTMs out, and this one was the first to come back. The autograph is tough to see, the one in the box is a facsimile auto, but it got done.

Odenbach (b. 1987) was an 8th round pick by the Royals out of the University of Connecticut during the 2009 June Amateur Draft.   He played in the Royals system from 2009 to 2011, reaching High A. He had a record of 15-15 with 190 strike outs and a 3.98 ERA.

I mailed to Odenbach on October 11 and got the card back on October 26, for a 15-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Dave Van Gorder

Another TTM success driven by a 1991 Crown Orioles card came to pass when I received these cards from former Oriole, Dave Van Gorder.  The Crown card turned out nicely, which was the goal.

I also got a 1983 Topps and a 1986 Donruss signed, and they both turned out great.

Van Gorder (b. 1957) played in the majors in 1982 and from 1984 to 1987 for the Reds and Orioles.  He had 89 hits, 3 home runs and a .212 batting average. I mailed to Van Gorder on September 29 and got the cards back on October 25, for a 26-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Chuck Abbott

A few more 1999 Bowman cards found their way into the autograph album when I received this TTM success from Chuck Abbott.  He signed the three versions of the card that I sent, a base, chrome and a hometown foil parallel.

It's hard to tell the difference between these two in the scan, but they're the hometown foil and chrome.  All of the cards turned out great.

Abbott (b. 1975) was a second round pick by the Angels in the 1996 June Amateur Draft our of Austin Peay.  He played in the minors from 1996 to 2001 in the Angels and Indians systems.  He had 510 hits, 23 home runs and a .237 batting average while making his way as high as AAA.

I mailed to Abbott on October 11 and got the cards back on October 25, for a 14-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Jose Vizcaino

This TTM success from Jose Vizcaino took a while to come in, but when it finally did, the results were great.  The above 1994 Upper Deck looks awesome.

He got two 94 Upper Deck cards; I guess it was because he switched teams.  That one looks nice, also.  The signature doesn't show up as nicely on the 1996 Topps due to the dark area on the right side of the photo, but it is still a nice card.

Vizcaino (b. 1968) played in the majors from 1989 to 2006 for the Dodgers, Cubs, Mets, Indians, Giants, Yankees, Astros and Cardinals.  He had 1,453 hits, 36 home runs and a .270 batting average.  He won the 2000 World Series with the Yankees. 

I mailed to Vizcaino on October 13, 2020, and got the cards back on October 23, 2023, for a 1,105-day TAT.

TTM Success - Ryan Braun

This TTM success from Ryan Braun was a bit of a surprise.  I had seen that he had signed for some folks, but it always seems like I send too those types of guys too late and never get my stuff back.  I found this cool 2008 Topps player propaganda posters card and sent it on. The card looks really cool.

Braun (b. 1983) played in the majors from 2007 to 2020 for the Brewers.  He had 1,963 hits, 352 home runs and a .296 batting average.  He was a 6-time All Star (2008 to 2012 and 2015).  He led the NL in hits in 2009 and led the NL in runs and homers in 2012.  He was the NL Rookie of the Year in 2007 and NL MVP in 2011. His career went off the rails when he failed a testosterone test and suspension in 2011 and his connection to Biogenesis that resulted in another suspension.

While he will likely never get into the Hall of Fame, he did receive a spot on the Brewers Wall of Honor.

I mailed to Braun on October 9 and got the card back on October 23, for a 14-day TAT.
