2017 Spring Training success and discussion thread

[Smittzerland]

Sandy Leon 1/1 c/o Red Sox
Scott Blewett 2/2 c/o Royals

Brooks Robinson, personal address. I sent him a Berger's Best insert from Topps 2016, and he sent back an additional Fleer 2001 card, no inscriptions. He also attached a note: "No more cards please, BR," so now I feel bad. I guess he's okay with signing balls, he probably receives far fewer of those. It looks like he also tried to sign the penny sleeve I sent the card in before realizing what was happening. Of course, very grateful he signed it at all. Thanks Mr. Robinson! My biggest TTM return yet, and first HOFer!

note: I realize this isn't technically a "Spring Training" success, but I don't have my own TTM success thread.

Very nice! I've seen a few returns from Mr. Robinson lately and have been thinking about sending him a ROMLB for my meager HOF collection.

I feel you I'm 1.5/11 Got Derek Law and sent to a private address for Ryan Boldt in December got it back from spring training yesterday. I ended up sending to Doolittle and Koji a week and a half ago just so I could have a better percentage to feel better about this spring.

Interesting mail day

Joe Morgan 1/1
Awesome success in about... 10 days? (sent to HOF PO Box but believe he lives locally). Only sent a single card based on previous TTM Manager experiences, but great add to my O'Connell and Son print collection and my first HOF TTM!

Peter O' Brien c/o Diamondbacks ST 0/1
Maybe I missed him? Sad to find a scribbled out RTS in my mailbox

After a 3/20 ST success rate so far this year, just happy I got my Morgan back so quickly.

Turns out O'Brien was traded to the Royals earlier in the year -_- , so that explains that. Oops. At least I got my SASE back

I sent to him at Royals Spring Training back in February and still have not received a response, so you might not have missed out on anything, and like you said, at least you got your SASE back.
