TTM Success

It has been a crazy few days since I last posted. My apologies for the delay. With work and other commitments, its been hard to find time to post.

Anyway, today I show offf a TTM auto that was 2 years in the making. I sent this card out to Xavier Nady when he first signed with the Cubs in care of their spring training facility. I actually gave up on this card and was sent to try and make a trade for one when lo and behold, I find an envelope in my PO Box with an AZ postmark.

I'm very pleased to be able to add Nady's auto to my Yankee autograph collection. I have been working on a list of all the Yankees autographs in my collection and hope to be able to post a link sometime soon.

First Spring Training TTM Recieved

I finally got back a spring training ttm the other day and it was from Yankees center fielder, Curtis Granderson. I had originally sent him a 2010 Topps Heritage and a custom Yankee Stadium card and they were returned, unsigned. But he did send this card of his own, signed in black sharpie. After consulting with other ttm hounds on sportscardforum.com, it was deemed that this is a legit auto.

The total days it took to recieve back was 10 days. Thanks Curtis for allowing me to add your autograph to my growing Yankees autograph collection.

The TTM Gods Have Smiled Upon Thy

Today, I finally get former Yankee pitcher Chien-Ming Wang in the mail. I tried him 2 years ago and got nothing back. I sent him these in care of the Nationals spring training facility back in feburary and just got them back. I'm rooting for him to make a full recovery from injury and regain the form that made him a 2 time 19 game winner for the Yankees. I just hope he doesn't comeback and stick it to the Yankees in an important game....

Hey everyone,

Happy March to you all. The beautiful thing is we get spring training games starting tomorrow. I can't wait to see baseball again.

I looked into seeing if you can upload pics from your cell phone and apparently you can. However, I have sprint and spirnt doesn't allow that, so I'll need to figure out another way to upload pics to my blog until I'm able to get a new laptop.

Today bought in former Yankees pitcher Walt Terrell. He signed 2 cards and a custom Yankee Stadium card for the Yankees PC. Nice success.

As it snows, yet again, here in NYC, I got another return from ST. Today's mail comes from Phoenix, AZ, home of the Oakland A's ST. Former Yankees catcher and current A's Manager Bob Geren signed 2 cards and a Yankee Stadium custom card. This was my second time sending a request to him. He didn't respond last year. Nice to be able to add him to the Yankees collection.

Still looking into seeing if I can upload pics here from my cell. If anyone knows, can you please tell me if it's possible and how?

Thanks.

I haven't been able to post here because my laptop is about to be given it's last rites. I'm posting this from my work computer. I can't really save pics on it, so until I'm able to buy a new laptop, I will just post what I have gotten and post pics later. I have gotten in recently:

Chad Moehler-Signed a Topps 08 and a Yankee Stadium custom. This was sent to Orioles ST and returned in under a week

Johnny Bower-This puzzled me as he usually signs and returns in under a weeks time, but it took 2 months. I was worried as I hoped his health was ok. He's a great signer and a terrific ambassador to hockey. He signed a Maple Leafs puck in silver paint pen and added HOF inscription. He also signed my custon card and added a signed post card of him holding the Stanley Cup. It was also postmarked from FL rather than Canada.

Kevin Weekes-Signed 2 customs, a Devils puck and a 08-09 UD Series 2 card in about 2 months. This was sent to him c/o Hockey Night In Canada.

Brian Dayett-Former Yankee Outfielder signed a 1982 Donruss and a Yankee Stadium custom in about a week.

jon Lieber-Signed 2 Topps cards and a Yankee Stadium custom in about 2 weeks time sent in care of his home. This was a third times a charm one as I had sent to him 2x before in care of the Phillies and never got them back.

That's all for now. Hopefully I can get my laptop replaced rather quickly so I can post pics here again.
