Djauwerda's TTM Success Thread

Thanks guys.

Lambeau- I was really disappointed, but these cards were soaked! One of them had even adhered itself to the envelope. Very disappointing, but Mr. Manville seems like a quick signer, so I'll make a few more and send them off.

Riggs- This was my first attempt at Gore, and although I was hoping for one of my customs back, I'll take any return. Yours should be there soon.

Two pretty cool returns yesterday. First Alvin Dark returned 4/4 customs, added a signed 1952 Topps and a testimonial. Returned in a brisk 7 days.




Also received 3/3 customs back from Eagles rookie TE Clay Harbor. Mr. Harbor grew up 10 miles south of where I live and I have followed his career since. He signed in black ink pen, but it's still a cool return.

Another trickled in today. Earl Averill returned 3/4 customs (kept 1 as offered) in 23 days via his home.

One rejection and one success to report.

Mike Cameron returned 3 cards unsigned with a note saying that "due to high volume of mail" he was unable to sign.

But, I did get a nice return back from Roy Sievers. Returned 4/4 customs in 7 days via his home.

One recent success, one recent failure to report.

Success: Howie Judson returned 3/4 customs (kept 1 as offered) via his home in Florida, took 8 days. I'm having some scanner issues, I'll get a pic up when I can.

Failure: Jack Aker (former reliever for the Cubs & A's) returned 4/4 unsigned with no explanation via his home in Arizona in 7 days. Anyone know if he charges?

Still having some scanner issues... will get pics up when I can.

One failure: Ron Hansen, Former White Sox and Oriole Shortstop. RTS. There were successes from as recently as July in the database. This makes 2 recent RTS that I thought I would see success on (Jack Aker is the other) anyone have any information on either one?

Two successes: Eddie Fisher, former White Sox pitcher in 10 days via his home. Retuned 3/4 customs (kept 1 as offered).

And Ken Aspromonte, former 2nd baseman for Cubs, Angels, and others in 11 days via his home. Returned 4/4 customs.

Wahoo! Pulled in a shocker today... Patrick Kane of the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks returned 3/4 customs (kept 1 as offered) in one month. Came postmarked from Buffalo, NY.

I gotta get my scanner working!

Nice Al Dark successes! Did he ask for a donation? He RTS my last request on a 1953 Topps reprint.

He sent a price list. I didn't realize he was doing that. I'll probably have to send him a little bit back.
