Acarter13's Success Thread

[acarter13]

hmmph, thats odd, the mail man never came yesterday, i wonder why

[acarter13]

Got back Yogi Berra for my sick grandfather, but he signed it in pen, so im going to give him my success signed in sharpie

phew, this one broke my 9 day slump.

sent 2 cards to josh hamilton at the stadium address on 11/6/10. i received my SASE back today on 12/22/10(77 days). Mr Hamilton signed 1/2 cards for me, and it came out great. I sent him the cards uncased, and he returned them both in soft sleeve cases and the autographed card in a harder case. im totally psyched to get this one, i got both the MVPs autographs via TTM this year :)

it looks a lot better in person.

[acarter13]

okay, this christmas was great, even though i didnt pull any autographs. but heres what i got-

2010 Topps Update Series Box
-Starlin Castro RC
-Austin Jackson RC
-Jon Jay RC
-Stephen Strasburg Merry Stras-mas card


2010 Large Hobby box
-5 Topps Chrome Packs
--Chris Heisey RC Refractor
--Kevin Russo RC
--Tyler Colvin RC
--Yovani Gallardo 364/499
-5 Bowman Chrome Packs
--Austin Jackson RC

Those were all the cards I got in boxes, but i also got the yankees 2008 and 2010 team sets and a bunch of 2005 and 2006 packs, but i didn't get anything very good in them.

My Other Stuff-
-Mickey mantle Plaque(1 8x10 and 18 cards)
-A Albert Pujols Sweet Spot Bat
-New York Yankees Calender
-4 books of stamps

Good luck nice return on Hamilton.

[acarter13]

nothing today, which brings my TTM total for december to 6 successes, 6 autographs. I dont know the exact amount of success received this year because i began keeping track of dates just 2 months ago, but i imagine it would be aroung 40 or so success, about 60 autographs. pretty good year, lets see if 2011 can top it :)

[acarter13]

tomorrow i am sending out 5 cards, and a Q and A sheet to Jeff Reardon.

[acarter13]

on 12/27/10, i sent Don larsen 2 cards, a Q and A sheet, and $5.00. Today, 1/3/11(first success of 2011 by the way) i received back my 2 cards signed with a pricelist. Didnt answer my questions, but i cant complain, it was just something extra. What made it even more spectactular, is that he returned my cards in just 7 days! In person, you can tell that Mr. Larsen is getting a little shaky, because in both signatures, you can see the spots that he stops and starts again.

Don Larsen is a great signer, and im psyched to get this one back.

i got Jeff reardon back today, took just 7 days, which is great because it was going from New York to Florida. Great signer.
