It's a Bible verse on the Fletcher card.

These are looking really good!

Thanks! I figured that was probably it, but couldn't make out the book.

Got an RTS from Bill Almon's other address today. I guess I'm out of options on this one. Oh, well. Returns have been a bit slow lately.

Quick update after a busy weekend. On Thursday, I got two returns. First is Rule 5 Draft pick Dylan Covey, who made the 25-man this season and is doing pretty well. He signed my 4x6 in black sharpie. 16 day return from his c/o White Sox Guaranteed Rate Field address in the TTM database. This was a real nice one to get back because it's my first photo return; until now it's just been cards. He also added his return address on the SASE which was a first for me.

Also on Thursday was Jerry Turner, who signed his '82 Donruss card in blue sharpie. 16 day return from his Lancaster, CA address in the TTM database.

On Friday I got my first non-sport return, and it was a good one. Jimmy Smits is one of my favorite actors, and I was really happy to find this in my mailbox. He signed and personalized my 4x6 and inscribed "The Force is with you!" 9 day return from his Los Angeles, CA address in the TTM database. Really fast return.

Today I had two RTS failures: Juan Agosto and actor Ahmed Best. I'll see if I can find other addresses.

Two successes this week. First was Donn Pall, who signed his '90 Donruss card in black sharpie. 46 day return from his Bloomingdale, IL address in the TTM database.

Next is Juan Uribe, who signed his '05 Topps Total card in blue sharpie. 49 day return from his Miami, FL addressing the TTM database. This one turned out really nice, and I'm especially excited to get a player I grew up watching.

One success this weekend. Minor league pitcher Brian Clark signed his '16 Double A team card in black sharpie. 44 day return from his c/o Birmingham Barons address in the TTM database. The card got bent in the lower left corner, unfortunately. This is the first time I've received TTM. It's still a good success, and doesn't bother me too much.
Current success rate: 73%!

Just one success all week. Pitcher Michael Ynoa signed his '15 Single A Advanced team card in blue sharpie. 53 day return from his c/o Chicago White Sox Spring Training address in the TTM database. He included his number, but it's his big league number, not the one from the minor league team on the card. I thought that was kind of funny. This is my fourth ST return. I thought I wasn't going to get it back.

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

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