Much of the reason for starting this blog was rooted in my desire to share TTM successes - and over the years, I've shared a lot! If you have been reading since those early years you may wonder why I haven't shared many of my returns recently - honest answer: there hasn't been much to share.

Like many collectors, my engagement in TTM comes in waves. There have been months when I've sent 20-30 requests, and then there have been those (like the past 4-5) when I might send two or three. I would probably be more consistent throughout the year if I stayed away from those extreme peaks! Either way, I'm back on the upswing and have a few new successes to share:

Justin DeFratus

I'm officially on the board with Spring Training successes after receiving this one back. Interestingly, a few days after getting this card back, I also received the card I send LAST year back (signed). Wonder where it was stored all this time...

Danny Cater

I am still working on getting these 1964 Bulletin inserts signed. With this success from Cater I am now up to 19/27! Please let me know if you know anyone who has a Callison or Mauch they want to sell...

Ron Hextall

Don't be surprised... I send out to Phillies, Eagles and Flyers! Of late I've been working on getting this team set ('90-'91 Topps) signed. This was a quick turnaround via The Flyers, with a "Best Wishes" inscription!
