Marshall658's TTM and IP success thread

[Marshall658]

great job so far on that set man! they look great.

Thanks, I think next time I get an empty mail day I'll post some of the other ones I got before I started posting here.

Today I got 3 more to bring my total to 49. Really excited with these 3 returns as they included 2 2x World Series winning coaches and the youngest player in AL history. All 3 of these were c/o home.

Alex Grammas 1/1 in 7 days


Wayne Terwilliger 2/1 in 10 days (included signed Twins postcard)


Carl Scheib 2/1 in 7 days (included own signed card)

Keeping the good returns coming today with 2 more successes from my 1954 archives project and an unexpected success.

First was Bill Glynn, member of the 1954 Indians AL pennant team.
1/1 c/o home in 14 days


Next was Johnny Schmitz, 2x All-Star in the 1940's.
1/1 c/o home in 17 days


And finally the surprise (never expected to get this one back)
The cast of the Fantasy Factory: Rob Dyrdek, Drama, Big Black, Chanel, and the Big Cat.
1/1 c/o Fantasy Factory in 10 weeks

[Marshall658]

After a couple of days of nothing, I got back 2 nice returns today.

Andy Sonnanstine 0/1,1/0 c/o the Rays in about a month
He kept my custom and sent back a 2008 Topps Heritage which I didn't mind at all because the card looks great.


Jonny Gomes 1/1 c/o the Reds in about a month
Very happy to have this one back as a closet Reds fan.

Today was a fantastic day for me as far as TTMs go. My regular mailman was back from vacation and apparently that meant good luck for me as there were 5 envelopes waiting for me in the mailbox. I added 3 more to my collection of '54 archives bringing my total to 63. Also got back one of my customs and one of the biggest surprises I've had in quite some time.

Tom Qualters 1/1 c/o home in 17 days


Hal Brown 1/1 c/o home in 18 days


Tom Wright 2/1 c/o home in 18 days
He added his own jumbo baseball card (has his full minor and major league stats on the back)


Justin Masterson 1/1 c/o Indians in 31 days


And now the shocker of the day.
Ralph Kiner 1/1 c/o home in 8 days
I really never expected to get this back signed. I had tried once before earlier this year and gotten an RTS. I guess I just he just liked my letter and I got really, really lucky.

Very nice. Like the Kiner!

[REDANDGOLDPRIDE]

Love the vintage stuff.

Awesome Kiner success too!

[Marshall658]

Thanks a lot guys. I got really lucky with the Kiner. That's all I can say haha. And I'm hoping I'll have some more vintage stuff back soon. I've gotten almost every single one I sent out back though, I think there are only like 5 or 6 stragglers.

Also, I can't wait to update this tomorrow with my IP success from today. It's not super special or anything, but I never get anything at major league games so it's pretty cool to me at least. I'll post it tomorrow once I can take a picture and such. Until then it's a surprise...I guess? haha

[BigRedMachine]

Nice collection, like the Gomes and Kiner!!
