WHO WAS YOUR FIRST TTM TO?

dbacksfan4life · Sep 6, 2013

Dont know if there was a thread like this. My first was to Daniel Hudson (I didnt send a card or a sase) and 7 months later i got a letter from Hudson with 2 cards signed! He even wrote a letter.

So who was your first?

I sent 16 out for my first batch ever, but the first one back was Richard Petty, even included a second signed card in there

My first was to (who else?) John Olerud. Got my two cards back and later got one of them authenticated.

You never forget your first!

Mine was at the time Saints DE Alex Smith. He signed the card perfectly. I didn't realize how rare it was to get cards signed that perfectly until I got a few smeared or bubbly sigs.

Mr. Mint.

Seriously.

Dante Lavelli was probably my first sports one.

Thunders coach Scott Brooks. I got the card 2 weeks later

Joe Thornton, Jarome Iginla, and Saku Koivu on the Studio 8x10s. I wish I still had them.

Vinny Testaverde way back in the day (1993?). He signed a card and an index card. Still have the index but traded the card long ago.

Chipper Jones. He signed a 91 score for me in '91. Got it back super fast. I gave it to a friend of mine who is a huge Braves Fan in high school. He still has it.

Did you just invoke the all powerful name of "Rosen"?

I honestly don't remember, as the computer that I tracked my early requests crashed. Jeter was among the first.

In 1990 I got Mark Grace, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux all within 4 months.

I saw that that stupid box, the 52 hi # case, sold somewhat recently.

My absolute, hands-down, favorite player at the time - Vladimir Guerrero. In the summer of 1998, I gathered two cards (a '97 Zenith and '98 Donruss), decorated a white 8x10" envelope to make it look like the front and back of an Expos jersey, and sent the whole thing off to Vlad. In the letter I wrote, I told him he was my favorite player, and (since I had read that some players liked to collect their own cards) that he could keep one of the two cards I sent to him.

Before school had even started that September, I had gotten a response - both cards signed! Looking back on it, I owe a "thank you" to some unknown postal employee - because there's no way 14-year-old me would have remembered to account for Canadian postage.
