JULY - SEPTEMBER 2012 TTM & IP Autographs

[jlecates]

Just curious, where did you send the Almora too? Is he in the pros yet?

Don't remember the exact address, but I sent to Chicago's AZL club which is in Mesa.

Today brought Addy Miller 2/2 sent July 15th. I received my two customs singed also a small note from her mom.

Giants @ Cardinals
August 8, 2012

Brandon Crawford 1/1 - 2012 Topps
Brett Pill 1/1 - 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter
Brandon Belt 1/1 - 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter
Hunter Pence 1/2 - 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter

Missed Cabrera inside, just barely. Oh well, got Pence! Worth the long wait and the brutal beatdown the Giants gave the Cardinals.

Giants--horrible signing team. Don't even bother with them unless you are happy with 4-6 autographs over 3 hours of waiting. I was happy with my haul, but I know most people wouldn't be haha.

You did about 1000000x better than I ever did with them in DC. It was like they were allergic to sharpie.

That is exactly why I am not upset about coming home with 4 new cards. The Brewers are bad, and then the Giants are on a whole new level. The only other guys that signed that I didn't mention in my post were Kontos (didn't have anything) and Romo ("I gotta go now" after I asked him to sign after he had already signed for five people).

Cool, thanks. The addy should be easy to find.

Nice success with Heyward and Prado.

 

[jlecates]

I second that about Heyward! Awesome to see a couple returns from him popping up!

 

[TGutta]

Nice returns! I just did TTM for the first time this Spring Training and I do have to admit it kind of sucks when you see guys get returns from players that you never got anything back. Nice pickups though! I need to send out to some more players before the season ends.

 

[jlecates]

Kepler today in about 2 weeks. My inner-OCD is a little bugged about the last few Heritage's I've gotten back being so streaky - clubhouse attendees of the world unite and get some new Sharpies (I kid, I kid). Still great looking cards:

I know the feeling. I've sent to players like Mariano Rivera each year since I started TTM back in 2004 and never had a success while others have multiple returns from the same time I sent my request. On the other hand I was lucky enough to get the three cards in my sig within the past year so I can't really complain.

Lefty Kreh - 8 days

 

[Sly]

Two returns between yesterday and today:

Ralph Botting - 2/2 - 8 Days - c/o Home
**Neither Thon nor Clark are signers, so the '80 won't be going out
**Dorsey is a signer, so it will go out on Monday to hopefully come back and be a triple signer!

Tom Brennan - 3/2 - 10 Days - c/o Home
**No returns from Bando in a few months or Wihtol, so may wait a bit to send to either of them.
