JaredRek's success thread

Had a pretty amazing day today in the mail! Come home to 3 letters sitting on the table for me!! Was super excited cause that was the first time I got more than one in a day!

Jamie Moyer 3/3 Signed all three in black marker. They all look very nice. Great return! Sent 3/10. Returned 3/22. Very quick return also!



Pat Neshek 1/1 Sent out on 3/12. 10 days. Also sent an index card with two short questions on it. Answered both of them. Another great success that I was very happy about!



Jonathan Lucroy 1/1 Sent 3/9 13 days. Personalized the card and inscribed "Luke 14:11". It's a little hard to see his signature in person, but the scan made it a little easier. Still a sweet success since I am a big Brewer fan!

In the mail yesterday: Craig Counsell 1/1 Sigend 2011 topps card. Sig looks very nice and smooth! Awesome success from a player who I've always loved! The Brewers are probably the best team for ttm! Love getting these back!

I have a really awesome story.

So we have a new high school baseball coach and his son, Erik Cordier, pitches for the Atlanta Braves AAA team. When he was talking to our team on the first day of practice he passed around his 2005 topps draft pick card. It was a black bordered parallel numbered to 54. I was extremely jealous and really wanted the card! I went home that night to look through my cards to see if I had one of him. Believe it or not, I did! I was super excited and thought it was really cool so I texted my coach and told him that I had one too! He replied, "Really? That's cool! Catch me after practice tomorrow . He signed with Topps and Bowman in 2005. I'll give you a Bowman version. Sorry not a refractor though!" After seeing this, I was super pumped for practice since I would be getting an autograph card after! So finally, practice the next day was over so I asked coach if he brought the cards. He told me he sure did and we went to his car where he had a binder full of his son's cards. It was filled with all kinds of topps and bowman base cards from 2005 and then towards the back were the autograph cards! There were some really cool ones and I couldn't wait to see which one he would give me! He showed me all of them and I was getting more and more anxious. But then he started flipping back to the front where the base cards were and my hopes kind of dropped.. Apparently when he told me he was going to give me a bowman version, he didn't mean an autograph.. :( I was a little dissapointed especially after seeing how many autographs there were in the binder, but then he pulled out a baseball which was signed by him! So even though I was dissapointed about getting the regular base card, I definitely couldn't complain about the ball! It was still a very awesome and kind thing for him to do.

The card Coach gave me.

Went to a local card show yesterday and bought a 2012 topps jumbo pack. Opened it up and in the middle, there was a Mike Schmidt retired ring card! Numbered to 736 I believe. Card is selling on eBay for about 25 bucks! Crazy pull!

Thanks! I'll probably send him the card I already had in the mail. No way can he not sign the card if I say his dad us my coach right?!
