AG1181's Success Thread
I thought it would be worth starting a thread, because I'm expecting a few more in the mail this week, but here's my first: Dave Keon!
I'm a lifelong Leafs fan, and a hockey collector, so this one means something to me. Thanks to everyone on this forum for their tips and advice. It really was as simple as writing a short note, including the cards, and a SASE. The turnaround time was 9 days. Sorry about the photo, couldn't get the light quite right. Details in the database here: https://www.sportscardforum.com/ttm....p&pl=4038&sp=1
Any and all feedback is welcome! Thanks.

You guys aren't wrong about the addiction. I'm keenly observing which retired stars have high success ratios, and acquiring their cards.
In the meantime, here's two more that came back today. Ralph Backstrom, and a nice personalized auto from Terry Crisp:

Just dug out/acquired a bunch of cards from guys who have pretty high success rates for TTM requests, so more to come soon, I hope!

Got a ton of stuff back today, here we go!
First up, a favourite Leaf of mine from childhood, Chris Kotsopoulos:

Another 80s star, Tim Kerr:

Next up, a most generous athlete, Brian Propp; I sent along just the first card, and he responded with all of this (there were actually two of the 4x6s, one personalized, and one not)...I am thrilled:

Finally, Pete Mahovlich...these cost me $10 each, but I think he signed beautifully, and I was happy to find cards from his time representing my home and native land:
