Hi guys,
Thought I'd share my successes so far and update as I gain more. I have sent out close to 50 requests in the past few weeks. Please let me know if you know of good prospects and SF Giants to send to!!
Thanks

Kyle Crick 2/2 13 days c/o Greenjackets (before I honed my prepping skills)



Adam Duvall 2/2 12 days c/o SJ Giants (also poorly prepped :( )



Jason Motte 2/2 15 days c/o Cardinals

That Motte GQ looks sweet, good job!

Thanks!! I love GQ for TTM autos.

Today brought Mike Leake 1/3 c/o Reds in 17 days. My first personalized TTM success!!

Hi! I love those Mottes, I just got my two back about the same time... I like how Crick noticed his sig didn't take on the Bowman chrome and went over it with his sharpie again... I am going to try him while hes still young... may become a time where he no longer signs judiciously- Bri

Thanks!! I might send to Crick again with a baby powdered chrome, and yeah I did notice how he went over it a few times haha. I have a huge collection of Crick cards so I hope he makes it to the show!!

Not 1, but 2 successes today!!! The first was great but unfortunately part of that same batch as the Crick and Duvall that were poorly prepped. As with the others, I'm still thrilled that the paper came out well.
Tommy Joseph 2/2 in 17 days:


This is definitely one of my better successes so far, just 7 days and personalized, looks great IMO. A very promising young prospect too:
Matt Barnes 2/2 7 days:

[Noahkalifungo]

The streak continues!!! 3 days in a row now. Another 2 successes today!!
Probably the coolest auto I've gotten so far, I think those are seams he drew in the "P"!!!
Pat Neshek 1/1 8 days


Also a cool looking auto, and I'm happy with the chrome considering I didn't prep it.
Mikie Mahtook 2/2 19 days

[Noahkalifungo]

I got back from a 4 day trip today and found 10, yes 10, TTM returns!!!

[Noahkalifungo]

First I got Brad Ziegler in 11 days c/o Diamondbacks.


Next was Giants prospect Brett Krill in 9 days. I assume he doesn't get too many of these; he even took the time to pencil in his return address!!!


Also in 9 days from the Greenjackets was catcher Joe Staley. I like his auto, if he makes it big I bet he will drop the middle initial.
