A couple of successes for the Reds collection

Gary Nolan
c/o home
2/2 index cards

Love the inscriptions



Joe Oliver
c/o home
3/3

If you look at the lower left, they are all creased. I appreciate the USPS taking care of that for me. I have started writing "Do Not Bend" on the envelopes now. Maybe that will help me get more back the way I sent them.

There are some players who bend the cards to keep them from being sold. I don't know if Oliver is in that group or not, though.

I did not know that. I have sent to Oliver before with no problems. I normally notice a small tear in the bottom of my SASEs when the cards are bent, which makes me think they get caught in the sorter. I could be wrong, but that was my guess.

I appreciate the insight though. I did not know that some people did that.

From the Potomac Nationals @ Salem Red Sox game of 7/24/13:

Sammy Solis of Potomac, who signed prior to the game as he was getting ready to chart behind home plate.

Salem:
Deven Marrero and Keury De La Cruz on the 2013 Topps Pro Debut cards.
Matt Price on the 2012 Elite card, though it has the other Matt Price's photo on it. The correct info, but still incorrect picture, are on the back. He laughed.
Matty Johnson, Matty Ott and manager Billy McMillon on Salem team set cards.

Sweet Matty Ott! Geaux Tigers!

I love coming back from vacation to see what I got while I was gone. Eases the disappointment after the end of a vacation trip.

A few more yesterday and today:

For my 1978 Topps collection:





One for my Angel collection:

 

[MrMet]

Got this back today, think I sent two cards, only got one back, that might be a first for me

 

[Lancemountain]

Man was I nervous about sending this one!

 

[dano7]

Nice 1 of 1 signed!
DANNY

 

[PoseyBuster]

Man was I nervous about sending this one!

I would have been nervous too! Would have been nice to be in blue but still sweet!!!

As long as you KNOW that you have the 100% right address and the player is known to quickly and constantly send back TTM successes, you should feel comfortable sending any cards! I'm sure that a guy who's been aroudn as long as moyer understands, also, that you didn't just send him a 2005 Topps Base Card, and the rarity of it.

Is that a sharpie? I have a printing plate of Lucas Sims I am going get signed next week.
