Great. Can't wait to see what all you've gotten. I always enjoy seeing your collection and the stuff you get back.

I came back to this thread to check out your Gene Wilder photos. I remember you getting a couple and wanted to check them out.

This thread is unreal! Your collection is...I don't even have the words. I literally just started doing TTMs. Sent out a couple of cards to Dave Righetti today. I'd love to do balls and 8x10s, but I can't afford it. My question is (and I understand if you don't want to give away secrets) - what do your out in your letters to get such incredible responses? I suffer from severe anxiety so writing these letters is so damn hard for me. It took me 3 days to write the letter to Righetti. I'd love some help, if you're willing. Could always be via PM. I'm just tired of having to pop a Xanax for a hobby I ironically started to help me with depression/anxiety!

Been super busy, so I havent had time to go through my last few months of IP & TTM stuff. But here are a 2 In Person graphs I got within 2 days of each other back in early August-


Took a weekend trip to Boston to see Pearl Jam's Fenway Park concerts. There was a small fan club event on the Saturday night in between the shows. I brought a baseball with me just in case a band member showed up unannounced. Well no band members showed.

Went to a very late dinner (11pm) after with my Wife, Sister, & Bro in law. We walk in to a Hotel resturant, with only one other table occupied since it was so late. My Bro in law says to me look in the corner...... It was PEDRO MARTINEZ. I waited a hour for him to get up and asked him to sign the ball I had in my pocket, and he did. The nicest guy around. Took pics with us, and talked NY Mets baseball with us for 7 plus minutes. YES, you always need to carry a baseball with you everywhere. I say it all the time, but do not always do it of course. WEll this time it couldnt have worked out much better. It was a unreal experience.........











==============================================

Then 2 days later on the night I got home,5 minutes from my house SNOOP DOGG made a small club appearance. I timed it perfect, and he signed a Vinyl cover and CD Jacket for me. Real great guy to the fans. His security, venue security & the local police were all giving me a problem waiting for him to get out of the van, but 1 call out to Snoop, and he came right over to me to sign..........

I probably just started with my best of the best over the time since my last post, so they will be down hill probably from here. But I wanted to post something, and these were the easiest to do with pics handy.... I will post more stuff soon......

Good stuff. Great to hear that Pedro was really cool and signed your ball beautifully.

Can't wait to see you TTM returns.

Awesome story about Pedro. Cool to hear he's so cool.
