TTM & IP Success/Failure Thread for JANUARY - MARCH 2015

[MrMet]

+ Jack Lind on an IC

Larys a real nice guy, bit of a drinking problem, but I think he got past that, far as I know he just got remarried last year I think

How many Brewers autos do you have? And how many guys played for the Brew Crew?

Good for him! He did write a nice note as well about Wisconsin fans

According to my list 761 players have appeared in at least one game wearing a Milwaukee uniform. I'm up to about 307 different players at the moment. Might be adding a chunk of certified minor league autos soon (as long they're team affiliation is ambiguous lol)

When you get as many TTM autos as you can of Brewers players, what happens then? Are you out of the TTM game? Or is there a new project?

There will always be paid signings to attend! (plenty of projects to work on but I try to focus on one thing at a time. Usually not successfully!)

Haven't been around here for a while, but here are a few of the things I've gotten recently TTM. Have a ton more, but don't have pictures of them.

Mats Hummels 3/2, sent his own team card

Robin van Persie 2/3

Have been growing my collection a ton for some time while building connections with players, slowly getting some seriously awesome memorabilia and stuff from them!

Is there a specific set you are making? A got him in Topps Heritage in black sharpie. I can send you an extra if it fits your criteria.

That's probably the one I sent him, nothing specific just a Brewers uni. I'll hunt you down on that offer if spring training ends without a return, thanks Arturo!
