TTM Success - Brian Meyer

This TTM success from former pitcher Brian Meyer was very colorful.  I got back a signed 1991 Fleer (above) and a 1990 Topps (below).  Both of the cards are way beyond the normal white-bordered Topps cards.  Ive had people tell me that the 1991 Fleer set is hideous.  I respectfully disagree; I kind of like the set.  They also look good when signed.

This 1990 Topps also looks nice.  This set is reminiscent of the funky colored 1972, 1975 or 2015 Topps.  Sometimes it's a good change to switch from the plain white borders.

Meyer (b. 1963) played in the majors from 1988 to 1990 for the Astros.  He had a record of 0-5 with 29 strike outs and a 2.84 ERA.

I mailed to Meyer on November 21 and got the cards back on December 3 for a 13-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Dave Geisel

A TTM success from Dave Geisel came in recently that landed me a couple 1984 cards for the autograph album.  The above q984 Fleer turned out nicely.  I don't have many of these in the album, so it was a nice add.

1984 Topps isn't my favorite set, and they kind of get pushed to the back of the line when sending, so it was nice to get this one in.

Geisel (b. 1955, today) played in the majors in 1978, 1979 and from 1981 to 1985 for the Cubs, Blue Jays and Mariners.  He had a 5-5 record, 144 strike outs and a 4.01 ERA.

I mailed to Geisel on November 21 and got the cards back on December 2 for an 11-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Don Gordon

Something funny about my autograph album is that 1988 Topps is a bit underrepresented. Compared to a set like 1973 Topps, of which I have 167 signed cards, i have just 96 signed 1988 Topps.  For a set that is so overproduced, it's just a little odd that I don't have as many signed cards.  Don't Gordon was the most recent addition to the album from 1988 Topps, and the card turned out nicely.

Gordon also included this nice religious tract card.  I like when players add extras to the submission. 

Gordon (b. 1959) played in the majors from 1986 to 1988 for the Blue Jays and Indians.  He had a record of 3-8 with 56 strike outs and a 4.72 ERA.

I mailed to Gordon on November 18 and got the cards back on December 2 for a 14-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Bernie Carbo

Back in 2018, I got a TTM success from Bernie Carbo.  I got around to sending to him again this year.  I had the above 1979 Topps that my buddy Ryan sent me a while back. The card turned out great. 

Carbo also sent this religious tract card that he signed.  This was a cool card to add to the album. I appreciate Carbo adding an extra to the TTM request. 

I mailed to Carbo on November 9 and got the cards back on November 30 for a 21-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Travis Miller

A 2001 Topps was added to the autograph album when I got this card back from Travis Miller.  The autograph is kind of tough to see, but it's there.

Miller (b. 1972) played in the majors from 1996 to 2002 for the Twins.  He had a record of 7-18 with 199 strike outs and a 5.05 ERA.

I mailed to Miller on October 31 and got the card back on November 29 for a 29-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Kason Gabbard

Here are a couple late 2000s cards that came back signed TTM from Kason Gabbard.  Above is a 2008 Topps and below is a 2006 Topps Update.

I thought I had more of Gabbard's cards, but these two were the only ones I was able to find.

Gabbard (b. 1982) played in the majors from 2006 to 2008 for the Red Sox and Rangers.  He had a record of 9-7 with 103 strike outs and a 4.53 ERA.

I mailed to Gabbard on October 30 and got the cards back on November 29 for a 30-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Steve Braun

Several nice vintage cards came back signed TTM by Steve Braun recently.  I was especially happy that I added another 1972 Topps to the album.  I like the old school All Star Rookie trophy.

I also got back his 1978, 1980 and 1983 Topps.

Braun (b. 1948) played in the majors from 1971 to 1985 for the Twins, Mariners, Royals, Blue Jays and Cardinals.  He had 989 hits, 52 home runs and a .271 batting average.  He won the 1982 World Series with the Cardinals.

I mailed to Braun on October 22 and got the cards back on November 29 for a 38-day TAT.
