alf7624 - TTM Success Thread

[sorklora]

Got another puck return today. This one from Bobby Hull. He added the HOF 1983 & The Golden jet inscriptions I asked for. Puck looks great. Last week I got a puck back from his son, Brett with HOF 2009. Awesome back to back returns from this father / son legendary duo --->

Very nice, man! Those look good next to one another...keep up the good success!

Today's TTM return - Hockey Hall Of Famer - Ted Lindsay


I sent him the puck with a small donation to his charity, and he sent me back the puck signed, a color pamphlet about him and his charity signed, as well as a short thank you note signed. Great guy. The old timers are so much nicer in most cases then players of today. He even returned my sharpie, though I dont think he used it.

Nice return! What kind of label maker do ya use and what sized font?

I use a brothers p-touch. Not sure the font. For many of the pucks, I have to cut the label a bit to make it smaller so it doesn't cover the inscriptions on the bottom.

"Terrible" Ted is truly a great person. Does a lot for autism awareness and makes a ton of appearances, really loves his fans!

Today's ttm mail - Dan Fouts


When I printed out the pic as 8×10 I didn't like how it cut off the picture, so I reprinted as a 8x12. Ended up sending both, and he signed them. No HOF inscription, but still very happy to add him to my collection.

Been slow with returns for me. Still waiting on 12 ROMLBs roughly, and been sending out a few 8x10s each week. I hope to start getting some retuns of my outstanding stuff.


I got 1 TTM return yesterday. It was the first time I sent to a person a 2nd time. The return was from Gene Wilder. I wanted to get this pic signed when I sent to him 2 months back, but couldnt get it printed. Another great looking return from Mr. Wilder-







Also got these in this week. (3) signed CD Booklets from Lady GaGa.









Im not a fan of most of her music, and not a pop music fan at all. But when she sings normal without the auto-tune nonsense, she is really talented, and very nice to her fans. These were NOT TTM. A record store had a special pre-sale of the CD, and the first 2,000 purchases got a signed booklet by GaGa. I hope to add Tony Bennett on them eventually.

This was my first no return TTM week since I started in early July. It def. sucks., as I have a lot of great items Im waiting for hopeful returns on.

But I had a awesome In Person autograph added to my collection this afternoon-

Tony Bennett -

I was only person waiting, he said only 1, but signed all 3. Had a vinyl, and he wouldn't do it. If I didnt have all 3 CD booklets mounted on the 1 piece of cardboard, he definitely would have only signed 1 item. He seemed pretty strict with the only 1 item thing, but once he saw all 3 in front of him, all ready signed by GaGa, he signed away. But I couldnt convince him for the vinyl I had as well. But I am super happy to get him on the Gaga booklets. I dont get many IP chances, so it was pretty awesome getting a IP chance, and it working out good.

Finally broke my slump, and got back a TTM today-

Dan Rooney - Pittsburgh Steelers Owner & Football HOF member-

Got 2 signed 8x10s back-

This one he signed with a black ball point pen which Im not very happy about, especially when he signed the 2nd pic with a marker-



Pic 2 signed with silver marker-




Also included a card advising no more requests will be honored at his N. Lincoln address-
