Djauwerda's TTM Success Thread

One in the mail today:

John Goryl: Mr. Goryl returned 3/4 customs in 6 days. He kept 1 as offered. This is the 51st return I've received from the Chicago Cubs alumni for this set.

Its been said before, but I'll say it again: you make some awesome customs! I always think its cool to see that players keep them, and some even request more. Congrats!

[Welker83]

Great return. Do love your customs.

[Riggs]

wow man, nice stuff as usual.

[djauwerda]

Thanks guys. It is neat to get requests from the players. Obviously, I'm going to oblige.
I'm trying to decide how to handle the set as I get more recent. I'll probably keep this design through the 1960's and into the 1970's. But at some point, I may switch the design up a little. We'll see.

Two more recent successes:

Frank Ernaga: He had a couple cups of coffee with the Cubs over two different seasons. Returned 3/4, kept 1 as offered, via his home in 12 days.

Chick King: This former outfielder also returned 3/4 and kept 1 as offered. He returned in 8 days.

Two more great returns. I also got RTS'd from Bob Rush, due to his passing, and Bob Anderson... I'm almost done with the Cubs from the 1940's and 1950's.

Amazing how you can find pics of all these guys. Great job!

[djauwerda]

Thanks Headshot. I have about 5 or 6 that I've had no success with... I pick up a lot of them off eBay, actually.

One GREAT return in today. A little HOF Mojo!

Fran Tarkenton returned 2/3 customs in 43 days via his home. I sent a $10 donation. It's amazing how one little envelope can change the mood of a really bad day.

[lambeauleap87]

That's an awesome return! I actually just found a couple Tarkenton cards and thought I recalled him being a decent signer...gives me hope. Congrats!

I had seen a few successes awhile back. Took a shot. Glad I did!
