Coltron57 Success Thread : TTM and IP

[Coltron57]

This last week or so brought a few returns. Johnny Bower, HOF Goalie, signed 4/4 for me, David Murphy signed a card w/ a bible verse, and finally Morganna the Kissing Bandit signed 2/3 4x6 photos, easily one of my best returns.

Email success from Butch Harmon. I got a large bubble mailer today. I opened that to find a DHL soft cardboard envelope, which, when opened, had inside a soft envelope, which inside had the photo and business card. Phenomenal shipping. Vance Law signed 4/4 for me. He has one of the nicest looking sigs in the hobby.

Nice thread! Morgana? I had forgotten all about her until I had seen your success! Wonder how that act would work now? Lady runs on field and tries to kiss superstar baseball player. She is tackled by 6 security guards and hauled off to jail. She is released as long as she agrees to never again step foot in the stadium! Highlights on Sports Center? No they would be smart enough to cut away to another part of stadium and TV announcers complain that the idiot running onto the field is wasting their time and might make them late for their flight out of town! There are times that a fan misses something as simple as Morgana and an era that has passed!

Thanks! I don't think we will ever see anything like her again. Fans hardly get 3 feet on the field before they are being chased, which I suppose isn't a bad thing since most field-crashers are just looking for 15 minutes of fame and don't add to the game unlike Morganna.

The last 2 days brought 2 successes. First, Desmond Howard signed 3/3 for me, including a PS2 game cover, a unique item for me. Then Emile Francis signed 4/2 for me.

Ronny, keep your eyes open for a few items that a hockey autograph guy like. Do not send anything back and should you think you might want to... Pat-It-Forward to another member!

[Coltron57]

Oddly enough that you brought up hockey. Bernie Parent signed 2/2 for me with no fee.

Fist day with returns since the 18th. Quite the drought but it is over finally. Harry Carson signed 2 4x6 and an IC for me. Added the HOF06 inscription on request to the one photo. The other return I had today was Al Arbour, who in exchange for my two stamps sent me 4 of his own. The only problem is that his stamps are not postage, and are really bad looking "autographs". Really bad smearing, lines from the outside of the stamps, etc. Oh well, it happens.

I hope to see some full mailboxes here soon seeing as how I have sent out around 10-15 in the past week to 2 weeks. Those include people like Bobby Richardson, Kathy Ireland, Muggsy Bogues, Koji Uehara, Peter Bourjos, and others.

I seem to have been rewarded for having about a week of nothing with 3 returns today. Bobby Richardson signed 1/2 4x6 photos and added 60 WS MVP to one. Next up Henri Richard signed 2/2 4x6 photos, plus 2 IC AND threw in his own oversized card. Great haul from a great player! Finally my favorite success The one and only Don Cherry signed 2/2 photos in silver and threw in an advertisement of his restaurant from him and Blue (his dog).

Slow week since my last post. Only one return in 5 days. If you are only going to get one it might as well be good, and a Hall of Famer certainly fits the bill. Joe Schmidt, former Lions MLB signed 2/2 for me. The only way to end a drought is to send a lot more out. 4 more in the mail on Monday - Scooter Gennett, Johnny Lujack, Johnny Lattner, and Jim Craig
