Djauwerda's TTM Success Thread

Haven't sent much out lately as my summer has been a little busier than usual and I'm trying to prep for The National in Chicago. But, had one I had sent out awhile ago come back today... Ryan Hartman returned 3/4 customs (K1AO) in about 6 months care of the Blackhawks. This is my first return of my Standing Tall set, will have more to come in the future... I hope!

Still some returns trickling in. Mike Adams returned 3/4 customs in 44 days via his home.

Finally had a HUGE one from my XFL set come home... the MVP, Tommy Maddox. I had emailed Mr. Maddox back in February for permission, he granted permission and it took almost 7 months for the return, but they turned out fantastic. I am 10/16 on my XFL set... don't know if any others will come home, but I like what i got!

This return is one of my favorites so far this year. For my Cubs Collection, I needed a card signed by Horatio Piña, who lives in Mexico and has exactly 0 returns recorded on SCF or SCN. I found an article talking about where he lived in Mexico, and with the help of a former student, drafted a letter to him asking him to sign. It took 87 days, but his card came back along with a nice letter... in SPANISH! Guess I need to find a translator again! Still, one of those returns that won't mean much to many, but will make my collection more unique than it already was.
