RGP's TTM Success Thread

the foster/ali pic looks amazing! did you send along the gold pen? i need to get me one of those

Thanks man! And yeah, I sent the marker. They're called "Elementz" by INC. They come in a 2 pack for 98 cents at Wal-Mart. They have a silver and a gold (seperate packs) I've sent I think 7 markers and they've all came out perfectly. And at only 50 cents you can tell whoever you're sending to to just keep it to use for other people.

Glad you got Haas.

I'm progressing slowly through my 1960's Cubs... I just finished the last few through 1964, but I am going back to try a couple of last guys from the 1940's and 1950's that I need. Going to give Kiner one more try, I also have to send to Banks & Williams. I also have a couple guys I want to try different addresses for that I failed on earlier (Danny Murphy, Duke Simpson, Don Robertson, & Hy Cohen). But slowly they're trickling in.

great way to start February. 8x10's look amazing.. congrats!

I tried the "trick" for Kiner with no reply. Seems everyone has to try three times and they get him on the third like he keeps track to weed out "who really wants it" or something?! I have a stack of customs of him and I'll keep on trying until I do. I have a decent amount I'm waiting on from 50's guys yet, and like you said, they slowly trickle in. 60's is gonna be a bigger project than the 50's guys for sure.

Thanks dude!

One today.

Alex Webster, 3/3. 2x Pro Bowler, was a pretty solid back for the Giants from 55-64.



Put a little dent in the HOF need list with a few little cheap impulse eBay buys. Gotta love the ugly Pro Line certs and how cheap they come!





Thomas, Seau, Aikman, and Tippet for $46 (separate auctions). Not bad.

[lambeauleap87]

For about $10 a pop plus shipping, those are great buys...those guys' stuff usually goes for more, especially Seau autographs.

I got Kiner on the first try; does that mean I'm special?

I used the silver element on my Dwight pic, they put Sharpies to shame.

you really need to check my thread rpg....just sayin.

Thanks dude. And yeah for sure. $16 for an Aikman is a steal IMO!

I'd say you are, or maybe he was feeling really nice that day!

No doubt, it looked immaculate!

Sending a PM.

Three today.

Bill Tremel, 3/2. Spent three seasons with the Cubs from 54-56. Signed my custom, index card (odd spacing? ) and wrote me a note saying he'd be grateful if I'd send him some copies as he'd never seen that picture of himself before. I'll definitely oblige.







Bill Monbouquette, 3/3.



Questionnaire. Should do more of these, they're so cool.



Matt Millen, 3/3. Glad to add him. Honestly can't stand him on ESPN, he doesn't ever know what he's talking about, and we all know how he fared with the Lions, but he was damn good linebacker. High motor overachiever. I LOVE the card where he's without a helmet and has blood on his jersey. Can never go wrong with a Pro Line. Those early 90's sets are simply the best. Had a UD Legends to send but didn't wanna get greedy with four. I feel bad sending three.



Unrelated & I doubt anyone here would recognize him or care really, but I added my first hip hop autograph to my collection (I'm a huge hip hop head), wasn't a TTM but was in a way. Young Buck signed copy of his new mixtape. He's a cool dude, I've played MW3 with him a couple times even.. He used to be pretty big with 50 Cent & G Unit.

[Riggs]

Great stuff... Love that millen UD card. actually looked for that one to send when i sent to him but of course couldnt find it.. till 5 days after i sent but oh well. Picture just says everything you need to know about the way he played. great choice.

[MSUspartans]

Nice returns. As a Lions fan, I highly disapprove of the Matt Millen return though ;)
