JustStartingOut's ttm success thread

[doniceage]

I owe my mail person an apology. Both of the balls I thought were long gone came back this week, HOF balls signed by Ryne Sandberg and Tony La Russa, and both with HOF inscriptions.

Cool stuff. I can make out the Tony auto but would have no clue Ryne Sandberg signed the other ball. Thanks for sharing.

I haven't been keeping up with my success thread, only been updating ttm manager.
Have a bunch out with release of Bowman, but they've been coming back very slowly. So far I've gotten back Phillies prospect Spencer Howard and Orioles DL Hall. Also got an Rawlings Hall of Fame ball signed by Andre Dawson.

I haven't been updating this, but have been getting some returns. Got a 2018 Heritage back from Tommy Joseph back today, signed nicely in black. Also got Phillies prospect Adam Haseley back last week. He actually answered some questions for me. Got a Series One and Heritage back from Jharel Cotton last week. Looks like he started banging out fan mail recently because I noticed a lot of people getting returns from him in the TTM Manager. I got one of four back from Larry Walker. Have gotten other Bowman returns from Tyler Stephenson, Austin Beck, Adbert Alzolay, Aaron Knapp (who signed in pen, which sucks), Thomas Hatch and Mackenzie Mills. Got a Gold Glove ball signed by Bobby Richardson with a "Gold Glove 61-65" inscription.
Also got five back from Rod Brind'amour, as well as returns from Raisel Iglesias and Brad Ziegler.

Always a big shout out to folks who share their return with pic's. Much appreciated and hope for many more returns.

Was at a travel ball tournament today and met Matt Holliday. Didn't have an OMLB or ballpoint with me but did have a high school ball and a gel pen, so I imagine this auto will fade.
I didn't realize Holliday wasn't playing anymore. My friend pointed him out. I Googled him and the tattoo going down his left arm matched.
