Vladfan27's IP & TTM success thread

[Vladfan27]

Yeah, it was insane...you know how when first walk down the ramp, you split left for the photos, autographs, etc. and right for the clinics, clubhouse, etc.? When I left at about 1:30, the autograph line was all the way back past the hanging sign where the clinics were. Well beyond that.

That's absurd. No way I would've waited in that mess, either. Shapiro even acknowledged that Saturday was a mess when he first started talking.

Went to the Cincinnati Reds Caravan this morning at Nationwide Arena. They had 6 different people signing, mostly broadcasters, front office staff and minor leaguers. I went for Brandon Phillips and Marty Brennaman:

Brandon Phillips SS ROMLB



Marty Brennaman 8x10



Also got Chris Welsh to sign a 1987 Topps for J_A_S_Z's set.

Big thanks to Andy (lambeauleap87) for the 8x10 of Brennaman. Came through in the clutch! Also, with Andy's help, found the players entrance to Nationwide Arena. I'm planning on 'graphing the Blue Jackets during their current homestand. They have an autograph signing tonight after the game, but unfortunately I'll be at work.

I should've checked my mail before posting earlier! Got this in today, and it looks awesome.

Jordy Nelson, c/o GB Packers in 38 days.



I love the look of this set. Might send out a few more to see what kind of start on a set I can get before the summer hits.

2 in today. Happy to see another spring training return.

Drew Pomeranz, c/o Rockies spring training in 44 days.



Ron Cey, c/o home address in 11 days.



Funny story about the Cey return. I received half an envelope with nothing inside a few days ago. It was my handwriting so I knew it was a TTM. I figured it was long gone, but the other half including the 2 cards were in my mailbox this afternoon. Kudos to USPS.
