Two more recent successes. One TTM, the other IP.
Don Zimmer: Popeye returned 3/4 customs in 12 days via his home. He kept 1 as offered. Not sure if they are ghosted by his wife or not, but they look good.
Tommy John: Tommy John recently helped celebrate the grand opening of a new park in Huntley, Illinois. I made a few from my Old School Set and my father took them up and was able to get 3 signed. Tommy kept one that was offered. I'm stoked about this one as I know he charges TTM.

Three more...
Art Schult: A great friend to the hobby, Mr. Schult returned 3/4 (K1AO) in 6 days.
Jim Colborn: Returned 3/4 (K1AO) in 9 days.


And, the cool story:
I had sent a request to Taylor Phillips a month or so back and he responded that he loved my cards and asked for 25 of them. I gladly made them for him and sent them off. Well, yesterday, I received a package from Mr. Phillips with a note thanking me for the cards and apologizing for the delay in response due to his wife's health issues. He returned 8 of the cards signed, added four 4X6 pictures of himself, and also included a check.
I'll be returning the check to him (as I don't feel right accepting it). I'm going to frame the pics together somehow. Just awesome to have an interaction like this. I didn't scan the cards in again... scroll back in my thread to see what they look like. But, here's the photos:

Chuck Hartenstein: Returned 3/4 customs (K1AO) in 9 days.

Another old Cub today:
Harry Perkowski: Returned 4/4 in 10 days via his home. This was one I have been patiently hoping for... finally found a good photo to make the card and sent it off.

Broke a mild little chilly streak today with another former Cub, Paul Smith. Mr. Smith played mostly for the Pirates, but finished his career in an 18 game blaze of glory on Chicago's North Side.
