That's awesome! Do you have an address for him? He has a number of cards, and even coached the Packers. Would love to get him!
Failure today from Reggie Miller...got a "Too Busy To Sign" letter: after 18 months! What the hell takes so long to be too busy? Also saw TONS of successes come after mine was sent. Upsetting.

Two successes recently, one today and one on Saturday that I just now got around to scanning...also need to find some of my old successes, as I've appeared to misplace the Snell, Groat, Moyer, and another one or two of my successes...bummer, but I'll find 'em eventually. Anyways, here's my two newest!
Dick Atkins c/o Home in about four months
Heath Bell c/o Miami Marlins in about two months
Atkins also sent along a signed Hall of Fame postcard, which was really cool...I need to start keeping track and writing down dates of when I send and receive, as I haven't recorded jack lately. I love how the Bell turned out; seems like a great guy!

very nice return. Great that mr Atkins is signing TTM pretty regularly again. The Bell looks awesome also. I sent that same card during ST but never got a return from him. Thats to be expected though with my TTM, ST luck.. lol
Nice stuff as usual.

I thought I'd missed the boat on Atkins when people were getting returns inside of two weeks...glad that's not a case. Even cooler is the extra postcard he included! I was pretty happy about Bell, but he signs in the weirdest colors...I don't know that I've ever seen him sign in blue or black; usually it's teal or red?

LOL! - The only way to get him to sign in blue or black is IP when you hand him the sharpie. Next time I catch him I will ask about the red sharpie stuff...

Well, it's been awhile since I've updated this! I've had three successes in the last month or so, including one today. The first two haven't been scanned yet, as I've misplaced my notebook with my sent dates. I'll update and scan them here in the next couple of days. They include:
Rashard Lewis - c/o Home - About A Year (best guess)
Don Beebe - c/o Foundation - No Clue...
and today's....Dirk Hayhurst - c/o Home - 5 days!
I'm a big Hayhurst fan after reading his two books ("Out Of My League" and "The Bullpen Gospels), which were both awesome reads. I found out he had an A&G card, bought one, and sent it away to an untested home address that I dug up (soon to be added to the TTMM, but he's in Canada for the rest of the baseball season). He sketched a Garfoose, which is a creation of his wife's...pretty sweet return has me wanting to send more out again!

And here's the Lewis...
350 day wait on this!
The Beebe? The wait on that was about 21 months...don't have an exact return date for when I got it back, but it went out September of 2010 and came back July of 2012; wow!

I bought a couple Hayhurst cards after seeing your success. Thanks also for the info on being in Canada for the rest of the season as well- I might have wondered why mine didn't come back as fast.

Glad I could help! I got really lucky; he was supposed to be in Canada about two weeks ago, but had visa/passport issues. I got my card back the day he posted on Twitter about leaving. He works with the Blue Jays radio station now, so he may still get your mail, but I'm not sure quite what his role is or how he travels.
