wsoxfan's TTM thread

[wsoxfan]

Davidson and Kahnle signed for me TTM last year, so you should see those back at some point. Good work so far!

Thanks! I've been having fun with it. I'm sending them 8x10s, which is a first, so I'm really hoping to see them back soon.

Hey man, just wanted to say I love watching your returns from this thread! Let me know if you're needing some suggestions, I have a few guys for you that are pretty good signers who played for the White Sox that I noticed aren't on your list

Thanks! What guys are you talking about? Always open to suggestions.

Okay, I've been pretty sick and have been neglecting this thread. I had a couple of returns last week:

Dave Schmidt signed his '87 Donruss card in black sharpie. 60 day return from his Sarasota, FL address in the TTM database.

Next is Ryan Sweeney, who signed his '05 Bowman Heritage card in blue sharpie. 62 day return from his Naperville, IL address in the TTM database. I'm especially happy with this one because I grew up watching him play, and the Bowman Heritage cards were some of my favorites.
Current success rate: 75%!

So I got a really weird return today from Thad Bosley, who signs TTM a fair amount. My letter was returned to me unopened stamped "REFUSED" with a giant red hand pointing at my name.... Um, okay? This was to his Omaha, Nebraska address that he's been signing from for a while, as recently as last month. Alright then.

Current success rate: 74%!

Ray Durham
Cal Eldred
Dave Gallagher
Chris Getz
Jerry Hairston, Sr.
Barry Jones
John Kruk
Sammy Sosa
Chris Young

I also got a success today from Rodney Bolton, who signed his '93 Fleer card in blue sharpie. 16 day return from his Ooltewah, TN address in the TTM database.

I've been out of town for a couple of weeks, and came home to six successes and one failure. Five of the successes were current players, including a ST success and three 8x10s, so it was a nice surprise to come home to after a rough few weeks. The failure is an RTS from Joe Crede. I can't find another address, so I'll just give up on him for now. Now for the successes:

Marv Foley signed his '81 Donruss card in blue sharpie. 77 day return from his Bradenton, FL address in the TTM database.

Willie Harris signed his '05 Topps Total card in blue sharpie. 19 day return from his c/o Winston-Salem Dash address in the TTM database. He included an inscription of his number. Nice to see this one come back after an initial RTS.

Yolmer Sanchez signed his '15 Heritage card in blue sharpie. 85 day return from his c/o Chicago White Sox Spring Training address in the TTM database. He signed it "Carlos Sanchez" which I thought was kind of funny. He changed his name in the offseason and is usually pretty adamant about it, but the card does say Carlos. He also inscribed his number. The name change in working for him, and he's having a breakout season, so I was really happy to get this one back. He's one of my favorite players right now.

Danny Hayes signed my 8x10 in blue sharpie. 32 day return from his c/o Charlotte Knights address in the TTM database. This and the next two were my first 8x10 successes, so I'm very happy.

Matt Davidson signed my 8x10 in black sharpie. 32 day return from his c/o Chicago White Sox regular season address in the TTM database. He's also having a breakout season, and I'm glad to see he's still taking the time to sign.

Tommy Kahnle signed my 8x10 in blue sharpie. 32 day return from his c/o Chicago White Sox regular season address in the TTM database. Another breakout star here, and his ERA is just insane. If he's not on the All-Star team this year, something's wrong. He inscribed his number, and the signature looks awesome.

Again, really happy with these returns, minus the RTS from one of my favorite childhood players.
Current success rate: 76%!

One more success today. John Kruk signed his '95 Topps card in blue sharpie. 17 day return from his c/o Philadelphia Phillies address in the TTM database. He doesn't have the greatest success percentage, but I guess he's signing now. Nice surprise.
Current success rate: 76%!
