Djauwerda's TTM Success Thread

[lambeauleap87]

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

Yeah, I know he used to be a good signer, but the TTMM is full of failures requesting a fee...I've got a fresh roll of stamps. Might be worth a shot!

Holy smokes Fran Tarkenton!! Thats epic right there! awesome return man!

[Headshot]

Nice Tarkenton. I have had failed attempts from him in the past (2-3 years ago).

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.

What address did you use for them is it the one in the database or a differnt one.

[djauwerda]

I believe I used the one in the database:

3340 Peach Tree Road NE #2570 Atlanta, GA 30326

I believe this is his work address.

Two recent TTM successes, and a 50/50 of sorts. First the TTM's:

Hobie Landrith: Returned 3/4 customs in 6 days via his home. He also put a nice note on my LOR. I did enclose a $20 donation.

Jim Woods: The former Cubs third sacker signed 3/4 quickly, kept one as offered. Return took 8 days door to door.

And for the 50/50... our daycare provider and her family took a trip down to the last week of Spring Training for the Chicago White Sox. They asked for a couple customs for sigs and I was more than happy to oblige. They came back with 5 for me.

Thanks!

One oldie I thought might be gone came back today. Took 71 days, but Eddie Haas returned 4/4 customs. Mr. Haas broke in with the Cubs in 1957, but is probably best known for his time in the Milwaukee / Atlanta Braves organization, which he eventually managed in the 1970's. His sig is really looking weak, but I'm glad to have it. One more Cub from the 1950's off the list.

It's also my 150th return since re-entering the hobby in January of 2010.
