Hanburger is one of those guys that has been on my list for awhile, but just never put in the mail. Class Act. Jim McMahon's story is probably more typical than we know. Did anyone just see the study that came out that said the average college football lineman will have over 1000 signficant head collisions in the course of a season? Makes you wonder.

He's really a cool guy. Don't know if you follow him on Twitter, but he's hysterical.

Thanks Harley. I've got over 30 requests out right now, which is a ton for me, but I've been coming home to a lot of bare mailboxes. Including some to some guys that are usually pretty good signers. Just gotta be patient, I guess.

One in earlier this week.

Gino Marchetti: A little HOF Mojo this week. Mr. Marchetti signed 4/4 customs, inscribed 2 with his HOF year, and also included a signed HOF card. Returned them in 9 days via his home I sent a $10 donation.

Gino Marchetti is one of the true legends. I treasure him as part of my collection. Nice pickups!

great return. Nice of him to add his own card.

Been a disappointing month for TTM. I have about 20 requests out that I thought were near locks for returns that I haven't seen, including about 10 of a new design that I have been waiting to unveil. Guess that's the nature of the beast. Two recent returns:

Lee Elia: He had a colorful career with the Cubs, especially as a manager. Returned 3/4 customs (K1AO) in 11 days via his home.

Roe Skidmore: I've been wanting this one for awhile, but have struggled to find a good picture to use for the card. Mr. Skidmore went to the same university as I did (Millikin) and finished his major league career with a perfect 1.000 batting average... he was 1 for 1. He returned 2/3 customs (K1AO) and signed my LOR in 9 days via his home.

Two more that finally rolled in:

Joe Ferguson: Highly underrated. 11 days door to door.
Art Still: 49 days to return. Glad it's home.

A little HOF Mojo yesterday!

Goose Gossage: 17 day turnaround for one of the best sigs in the business. Inscribed his HOF year. I included $20. Returned 2/2.
