I always find your selection of mailings interesting. I would have never thought of Ken Burns for instance. That is an awesome return and another I would have never thought of.

Thank you! I love Burns productions (baseball, Civil War, etc.). It seems like the longer I do TTM the more I venture off the true and tried path for people to try that I like. This probably explains why my successes have come down from the previous 5 years. I still send out for some sure successes but I have also increased my more risky tries. I keep stats on all my TTMs and my largest increase so far this year is the "not returned" category. In the past I would often get RTS' for a failure but now they either just keep my stuff or just plain throw it away because they never come back home... : (

TTMs since last update:
Johnny Lujack, 1947 Heisman winner signed 2 CICs & kept the set I made him. I try to make a new custom of him almost every year - great TTM'er.
Paul Warfield, purchased.
Added Mike McCarthy (Packers), SB Winning Coaches pic; there's a number of us that have a few of these going around.
Dirk Nowitzki, signed 8x10. I try to find an unusual pic every year to send him.
Jim Furyk, signed 8x10. I sent him the pic to sign the day after he shot his "59".
Added Doug Ford (57 Masters) to "flag" pic.
Mal Whitfield, signed 2 CICs. Always admired him.
Steve Blass, signed 2 CICs & one IC.
Wade Boggs, signed 2 CICs with $5 I added.
A.J. Foyt, signed two 8x10s. I'll scan the other one when I get a few more sigs.
Clint Eastwood, sent him a letter just thanking him for his contributions to great movie making & he sent back a "high quality" pre-print (LOL!). Still, since I didn't ask for anything & he paid USPS for a 9x12 folder it was a nice gesture.

SICK returns as usual! Love the Hilton pic in FIU uni, he's brought some light to South Florida football other than UM, UF, and FSU.

Thank you! I hinted in my LOR that it would look good signed in gold & she did it.
Thank you! I saw him play in his sophomore year & you could tell with that kind of speed/moves he was going to the NFL.

TTM successes:
Buddy Pritchard, signed both a CIC & IC; kept CIC offered.
Ken Retzer, signed a custom 8x10 and sent me 5 copies of pics & articles of his career (included his phone #). Prophetic that I received this yesterday on the 50th anniversary of Pres. Kennedy's untimely death. Mr. Retzer asked for a copy of the pic and I sent him two; very nice man!
Jon Matlack, signed 2 CICs. I enjoyed making this one by putting a small Roberto Clemente behind him to commemorate Mr. Matlack giving up the 3000 & last hit of Roberto's career.
Chris Sabo, signed 2 CICs; surprisingly fast return.
Eric Metcalf, signed 2 CICs.
Johnny Musso, personalized 2 CICs but took over a year & PM was from Naples, FL.
Doug Pederson, signed 2 CICs, very quick return. Wish I could have found a good pic of him as a Dolphin!
Herschel Walker, personalized a CIC, kept his & included his own card signed.
E.J. Manuel, signed a CIC, very quick turnaround.
Terry Hanratty, signed 2 CICs.
Nick Buoniconti, the HOF'er personalized 2 CICs (+$5) & sent his own an old 1964 card signed. I will always think of him as a Dolphin but you hardly ever see signed items of him in the old Patriots uniform. Love the old Team card he sent me. One of my favorite successes this year.

I found a couple but I didn't like any of them because he really wasn't shown very well. The one below is the best of the lot I could find but it's not a high res pic & he's way on the left side of the pic:
