dsolzman's success thread

Not that I'm slacking but here's the last several that came in.

Jon Gray (consignment) 2013 BDP, signed 5/29. Returned June 5th
Eddie Butler 2012 BDP, sent to ST 3/17, returned 6/5
Taijaun Walker (consignment), signed 4/27, returned 6/6
Mike Zunino (consignment), signed 5/10, returned 6/6

I loathe consignments but sometimes, it's essential if it means getting a player's signature when they don't really sign fan mail anymore.

Been a slow week with nothing. Sent out a 2013 BDP and 2014 Bowman Prospects cards to be signed. One player, since released, follows me on Twitter so he DM'd his mailing address. I'm getting ready to send my 8x10 with Marty to be signed even though the Reds are out of town. I'm also going to start sending out these WNBA photos to be signed.

Bought a signed memoir of Bob Broegg on Amazon. It was listed as like new but didn't say that it was inscribed to a Marshall Tucker but oh, well.

In other news, I sent out seven requests today but one is a consignment.

Bookplates sent to John Rosengren and Alan Zweibel. 8x10s sent to Marty Brennaman, Lindsay Whalen, Diana Taurasi, and Seimone Augustus. Getting Sue Bird by way of consignment since she does not sign fan mail.

Steve Ramos 2014 Bowman Prospects returned signed on June 27. Dame Judi Dench signed photo came, I think, on Monday. It was an email request from May 28.

It's been a slow month. Hope to see something on Saturday.

I really like the Walker, congrats!

Thanks. Saturday was an awesome mail day.

John Rosengren - signed bookplate (mailed 6/25)
Phil Ervin - signed 2013 BDP (mailed 6/18)
Natalie Coughlin - sent two photos (mailed 8/6/12) and later apologized to me for the delay on Twitter.
Seimone Augustus - signed 8x10 (mailed 6/25)

The Coughlin autographs are easily going to be my top autograph for July. Hands down.

Hannah Storm, email request sent 4/19. Returned 7/7

[dsolzman]

Will scan them in later but I got my consignments back of Kris Byrant and Jorge Soler (both 8x10s)
Tim Cooney (out 6/18, back 7/28) signed 2014 Bowman Prospects. A bit smeared both otherwise awesome.

Other than that, it's been kind of slow.

Scanned and not quite uploaded to Photobucket.

I got Joe Maddon on 8/14 in the mail (consignment).

Alan Zweibel signed bookplate
Lindsay Whalen 8x10
Sue Bird 8x10 (consignment)

I sent out a few bookplates this week to be signed. Just waiting to get them back at the moment.

Been over a month since you shared with us? You get too many awesome items to have had this long of a break. I hope that all is well!
