RGP's TTM Success Thread

[REDANDGOLDPRIDE]

Very cool. Like seeing the old guys sign.

Thanks man.

Alright, so I was out of town all weekend so here's what showed up.

Pepper Johnson 1/1. I sent his $5 fee, but he returned my custom unsigned but sent this signed card. Not a big deal, but you'd think for five bucks he could sign what I sent.. Still happy with it though!



And then these came either Friday or Saturday.

"Pistol" Pete Retzlaff signed 2/2. He was one of multi-purpose players of the 50's and 60's and was a fantastic reciever. I think he should be in the HOF since there are plenty of other guys like him that are already in.





Bob Lilly signed my 8x10 for the usual $5.



Though it's non TTM related I thought I'd share this.. I've been scouring eBay for a Chris Doleman certified since he kept a total of $15 from me in two TTM requests. I kept getting sniped on others so I found this on SportLots for $12, had no picture so I didn't know what it look like but wow what a lackluster auto.



Looks even worse IP when you have to squint to see the auto and at first glance it doesn't even look signed. I've always wondered how much these guys get from card companies to do certified autos.. There were like 9 of this specific Pro Line made, you think he would put a little more effort into it, he usually has a pretty nice auto. Just thought it was kinda funny.

I need to do an official count of my NFL HOF'ers I've gotten. I think I have a really good dent put into it through TTM and certifieds.

Great day bud. That Lilly 8x10 looks great. As for the Doleman, I'm sure I'm wrong because I don't search a lot of pro-line stuff but, that's the first certified auto from them I have seen with the athletes sig on the front. I have seen a ton with there sigs on the back though. Guess I assumed they all was like that. But like I said, I don't look up much pro-line stuff so I'm sure there's a ton like it. Great additions.

I need to find a john randle certified auto for me HOF pc. He's going to be a tough one I think.

Awesome stuff! That Pepper Johnson is very cool; I still need him for my Ohio State collection. Lilly looks great as well, but that Doleman is weak! Haha, I kinda like the photo though. Sweet day...

Thanks buddy. I recommend hunting for Pro Line stuff if you're trying to fill voids in your NFL HOF PC. Seems like most guys who don't have a lot of certified stuff at least have a Pro Line auto that you can find. I've picked up a ton of HOF'ers recently on the cheap. As far as auto's being on the back.. Those are mostly the 'Pro Line Profiles" series. Generally Pro Line had 2-3 series of autos in their sets from like 91-97. Portraits, Profiles, Classics, and Wives (autos of players' wives.. which is kinda dumb IMO..). The most common are the profile ones which are generally on the back. Here's a few I've recently got that are all different..



As far as a John Randle certified, there's actually a few out there. I've seen a '95 Pro Line (looks like the Cortez I posted) and there's some others. Don't bid on this one though, I'm making it mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Another one rolled in today..

Robert Parish signed my 8x10.



Looks like he put it in the top loader before it dried, I had a feeling that would happen, and it did. Oh well.. I just need to find a 8x10 of him in a Bulls uniform to get signed, then I can display that instead.

Nice Parish, even if its smeared. Looks nice.

Shows what i know, I thought there was only Pro-Line profiles series I might go after some of the pro line autos. quik search of them & they seem to go at very reasonable prices & in this day & age, any deal seems to be a great deal. Nice adds by the way

Couple more today..

Bob Griese 1/1.

Glad I didn't have to wait over a year like some people.



Larry Little 1/1.

This is like the third time I've sent to him, which I feel a little guilty about, but the first card I got will become a cut and the other was an 8x10.

[REDANDGOLDPRIDE]

Been a long six days. LOTS going out tomorrow though.

Leah Remini signed my 4x6 photo.



I'm a big fan of The King Of Queens so this is a pretty cool success for me. First auto from a female too! LOL

[REDANDGOLDPRIDE]

Also had a failure yesterday from Lou Piniella. Returned unsigned. Not sure what his deal is.. Returning some signed, RTSing the majority, returning some unsigned, or not replying at all. Maybe someday..

I love the King of Queens! I still watch it quite a lot. I would kill for autos of Doug and Arthur!
