TTM Success - Tai Tiedemann

While looking for addresses for players in 2021 Bowman Draft, I discovered that one of the players I was looking for had a brother who had been in the Rangers organization.  So, once I found the address (for Ricky Tiedemann), I pulled my Tai Tiedemann cards that I had stockpiled while hoping he would move up to the Wood Ducks.
I got cards from 2017 and 2018 Spokane and 2019 Hickory signed by Tiedemann,

Tiedemann (b. 1996) was an 8th round pick by the Rangers in the 2016 June Amateur Draft out of Long Beach City College in California.  He played in the Rangers system from 2016 to 2021, reaching AA (and bypassing the Wood Ducks completely, since the minors were restructured last season.  He has a 16-12 record with 208 strike outs and a 3.94 ERA.

I mailed to Tiedemann on January 10 and got the cards back on January 19, for a 9-day TAT.

Another TTM Success From JJ Bleday

Here are some great cards I was able to pull from my prospects boxes and get signed TTM from Marlins prospect, JJ Bleday.  The above 2019 Bowman Chromw Draft Pick Breakdown card was one I absolutely wanted to get signed, so I sent it out to Bleday, along with the below inserts from 2020 and 2021 Heritage Minors.
I got a full sig on the Chrome and a short sig on the two Heritage Minors cards, but they all look really cool.

Bleday (b. 1997) was a first round (4th overall) pick in the 2019 June Amateur Draft by the Marlins out of Vanderbilt.  He has played in the Marlins system since 2019, reaching AA.  He has 120 hits, 15 home runs and a .224 batting average.

I mailed to Bleday on January 3 and got the cards back on January 18, for a 15-day TAT.
