Acarter13's Success Thread

Awesome stuff. Always a great day when you get a HOFer back, nevermind 2 in one day.

Congrats on the Gossage and Kaline. It cracks me up how Gossage is such a rough-looking guy, but his penmanship is so fancy.

Tony LaRussa /2, 92 topps and 2004 topps, asked for a HOF inscription
Jim Leyland /1, 92 Topps and asked if he could sign in silver sharpie(very very dark card)

Did you ask TLR for a HOF 2014 inscription? I'm curious if he will be willing to do HOF inscriptions now that he's been elected by the VC.

Thank you, yes I did ask for a HOF inscription. Must have forgotten to put that in my post. I'm not so sure if he'll do it, but I'll find out soon enough

I'm surprised Goose didn't add his HOF inscription.

I just sent off for TLR on Thursday myself. It may have been Wednesday. I contacted ARF to get some information on which address since I was including a donation. The PO Box is checked twice a week.

I already had TLR and Torre from back in the day (2003, back when Torre signed TTM regularly) but I had to purchase Cox since he's a rough signer. However, I'm now collecting signed 8x10s for HOFers so if I have to wait for signings on Cox and Torre to get the inscription, I will.

I'm also surprised Gossage did not include his HOF inscription. I attended the All Star game Fan Fest in Anaheim in 2010. Goose signed a ball for me with the HOF inscription, without and prompting from me.

Separately, that's a great idea to contact TLR's charity first. I hope you get the HOF inscription from him. If so, I'll be following in your footsteps and putting a ball in the mail to him.

Going out tomorrow
12/24/13:
Tyler Kolek /3, sent to his High School. Sent 3 4x6s. Would be thrilled to see this come back but I've never seen a success from him before. One of my teammates played against him in a showcase last August and when he came back all he did was talk about him.

Carlos Rodon /4, 3 4x6s from him in an NC State uniform, 1 4x6 in a USA uniform. The USA photo has a dark background so I asked if he could sign the dark part in silver

Billy Wagner 5/5 in 9 days, very happy with this return.



I'm thinking about sending to Jesse Orosco, but There isn't a recent success from him in the TTM database. Does anyone know if the new address that was put in for him(no attempts yet) has any reported successes from any other sites? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Someone got a RTS from the Harvey 13 list in May.

Good luck. He is a really nice guy IP and surely signs ttm if you can track him down.
