Failure

Tim Wakefield , Red Sox Pitcher
c/o Boston Red Sox
returned a 98 Topps (0/1)

Sent it out on 4/16/07
Received it 11/28/07

Got it back in my SASE and it was still wrapped in the letter we sent. Very disappointed as I saw success when I sent this at the start of the year. Too bad, I still love the knuckleball!!!

Jay Bell - Baseball

Jay Bell , Royals Shortstop
c/o home
Signed a 98 Topps (1/1)

Received it 11/14/07

Part of some funny cards I sent out. In 98 Topps let some of the players do what they want. Jay picked playing golf with a baseball. Great return!

Winter Break...

Hello all. I hope that you have enjoyed following our first season with TTM as much as we did doing it. We still have about 50+ cards out there waiting to be signed or returned or ignored. We are also building a wish list for the people we want to send to next season. I am going to try a few people in the coming weeks but we figured that a) active players sign all season, let them have the off-season to themselves and b) the holidays are upon us and the mailbox will start to get stuffed and we would hate to be lost in the shuffle.

We'll post when we next send out a bunch. Until then, feel free to browse and PLEASE leave a comment. We would love to hear from you!!!

PS I am thinking of a few posts about how we do TTM, a mini beginners guide....what do you think?

Hideki Matsui - Baseball

Signed a photo (1/1)

Sent it out on 8/09/07
Received it 11/05/07

He kept the card and sent along a nice signed photo. From a company in LA so I am sure it is auto-penned but still a nice return. Better than no response at all...
