wsoxfan's TTM thread

Two returns today, but only one success. Jerry Koosman returned the card unsigned with a form letter asking for a donation. The weird part is he signed the letter.... I also sent out five more requests today:
Conor Gillaspie
Danny Osborn
Tom Paciorek
Dewey Robinson
Leo Sutherland
As for the success, Bill Dawley signed his '87 Topps base card in blue sharpie. 11 day return from his Montgomery, TX address in the TTM database. I still haven't gotten any current players or minor leaguers. Hopefully some will come soon.
Current success rate: 69%!

No successes today, just an RTS from Richard Dotson. I'll try sending to his new Chicago address instead. I also sent out to Scott Christman today.
Current success rate: 64%

Three successes today, but still no current players. I'm starting to get a little worried; maybe the Sox just decided not to sign any ST mail? I haven't seen many successes in the database. Oh, well, I still have hope. I also sent out to Richard Dotson's new ballpark address this morning.

First, Mark Salas signed his '89 Fleer card in black sharpie. 12 day return. I wrote to his Chicago address in the TTM database since that had a higher success percentage, but apparently it was forwarded to Spring Training and he signed it there.

Second, Rusty Kuntz signed his '81 Donruss card in blue sharpie. He signed over the blue uniform, so it's a little hard to see. 13 day return from his Royals Spring Training address in the TTM database.

Lastly, Bruce Kimm signed his '81 Topps card in blue sharpie. He also signed the back of my letter of request. This auto turned out really nicely on the card. 13 day return from his Amana, IA address in the TTM database.

Two returns today. First, Dave Stegman signed his '84 Topps card in thin black sharpie. I usually prefer thicker sharpie, but I really like how this one turned out. 13 day return from his Grove City, OH address in the TTM database.

Current success rate: 74%!

Got my first current player today! Rookie catcher Omar Narvaez signed his 2016 Triple A Charlotte Knights team card in blue pen. Sharpie would have been nice as the signature is a little hard to make out, but I can't complain. 10 day return from White Sox Spring Training.
Current success rate: 75%!

Three successes today. First is Danny Osborn, who signed his '75 SSPC card in blue sharpie. 7 day return from his Westminster, CO address in the TTM database. I really love these cards. The two I've gotten back signed have been the quickest returns (the other being Bill Gogolewski).

Next is Glenn Borgmann, who signed his '81 Topps card in blue sharpie. 18 day return from his Butler, NJ address in the TTM database.

Next is Tony LaRussa, who signed his '82 Donruss card in blue sharpie. I really wasn't expecting this one back signed since I didn't realize he asked for a donation, but it's great that he sent it anyway! I'll have to send another request with a donation sometime. 18 day return from his Arizona Diamondbacks address in the TTM database.
Current success rate: 79%!

One success and one failure today. Corey Zangari (c/o Great Falls Voyagers) came back "Unable to Forward." I'm a little confused about this since he's still on the roster.... Their season starts at the end of April so I might just send it back then and see what happens.

Today's success is Eric King, who signed his '91 Fleer card in blue sharpie. 19 day return from his Simi Valley, California address in the TTM database.
Current success rate: 77%!

Three successes today and one failure. My request to Jerry Turner was RTS with a forwarding address. I'll try to send to that one.

First success is Nate Jones, who signed his '17 heritage base card in blue sharpie. 21 day return from his c/o White Sox Chicago address in the TTM database. He must have signed it right when he got back to the ballpark from ST (sent there since he doesn't seem to sign much during ST). This is probably my favorite return yet, and my first current player on a card with a Sox uniform. The signature turned out really nicely, and it's cool he included his number.

Next is Steve Trout, who signed his '83 Donruss card in blue sharpie. 20 day return from his Hammond, IN address in the TTM database. He included a note saying he only signs one item for free and I could go to his website to purchase additional signatures.

Last is Danny Tartabull, who signed his '96 Topps card in black sharpie. 13 day return from his Agoura Hills, CA address in the TTM database. This sig is really cool too, and he also included his number.
Current Success rate: 77%!

Good to see Nate Jones returned your card. I just sent him that same card a few days ago, so hopefully I'll see that back next week (I live in Chicago, so it should be back quick!)
