This was a nice surprise, I sent this TTM out 218 days ago. I figured this card was as good as gone. Even though I am not a huge Nascar fan, I can still remember watching him race as a kid.
I picked up a pair of signed FS Bears Helmets. The first one is a vintage style signed by Gale Sayers (includes personal hologram and PSA authentication). The second was signed by Brian Urlachor (includes personal hologram). I was thinking about starting a Multi signed piece. I am just not sure which helmet I want to use. Any suggestions?
I went to a free Derrick Rose signing today at a local car dealership. There were a couple hundred people that showed up for the signing. This was actually the first signing that I wasn't able to get multiple items signed. BJ Armstrong is his manager, and was a stickler for only allowing 1 item per person. I wasn't aware of the signing until late last night and was not able to find a RC in time. However, I was able to get a nice looking signature on a ball.
- 1969 Topps hof'er Jerry Lucas -private signing - 1970 Topps hof'er Jan Stenerud- (1)TTM ($5 donation) & (1) purchased from SCN member
I have had some nice returns over the past several days. The first is from a NBA legend. The Jerry Lucas was signed at a private signing that I mailed in. I am very happy how the auto turned out. He even signed it with the pen I requested. The second and third returns are a little strange. I sent Jan Stenerud a TTM several month back($5 donation). I figured that my TTM was as good as gone. I wound up purchasing a signed card from a SCN member. Two days after receiving the card that I bought my TTM was signed and returned.
I am really happy with this return. Sandberg was one of my childhood idols growing up. A SNC member was able to get my Sandberg rc signed for me. The card is just as minty fresh as when I sent it.

-1971 Topps HOF'er Charlie Sanders (TTM) -1989 Score Cris Carter (SCN member) -1989 Proset Steve Awater (SCN member) -1994 Stadium Club Larry Allen (SCN member)
Some nice additions to my collection arrived today. The 1971 (hof'er) Charlie Sanders was signed TTM. The next three are future hof'ers that were purchased from a couple of SCN board members.
I had a couple of nice returns today from a couple of HOF'ers. I am extremely pleased with how they both turned out. After receiving my Singletary back it is obvious that his TTM's are ghost signed by someone else.

I had a huge day for returns today! I received back 3 football Hof'ers that were signed TTM and, two rc's of Elvin Hayes that were done at a private signing setup by a SCN member.
I received a nice return today. This was my second attempt to Mr. Anderson to sign his RC. The first one I sent back in December was probably lost in the mail. He is one of the few baseball hof'ers that is still willing to sign for free ttm.
Very nice Sparky. At one point last year he stopped signing TTM, but then he started up again.
STAY HEALTHY!

- 1998 Press Pass (explosive red insert) Tony Stewart rc - Tony Stewart die cast model
I went to a free Tony Stewart signing today at a local Office Depot. He signed over 200 autos in under 15 minutes. I was kind of afraid that my card might get smeared or damaged in all the commotion. I am really pleased how my items turned out. .
Nice Stewart autos. I have been a huge Stewart fan since he was a rookie. I met him down at the NASCAR race in Vegas back in 2003. I had my shirt in-hand and a Sharpie. I walked up to him and the look on his face looked like he was having a bad day. I was hoping that he would see what I was looking for--but I was to much of a coward to ask. He just walked right by me. I hated him for about a day, but realized it was my own fault for not asking for the auto. Still a big fan of him.
-1984 Topps hof'er Dwight Stephenson -1986 Topps hof'er Bruce Smith -1977 Sportscaster hof'er Billie Jean King
I got back these three HOF'ers back TTM. I am a little disappointed that Bruce Smith personalized mine since he has been pretty reliable TTM signer as of recently for many other board members without personalizing their items. i guess he is afraid that people might start exploiting his generosity and start selling his signed items on eBay.
Billie Jean King does have a Panini card from Italy in the early 70s if you are able to track that down...I used to have one. Sportscasters are great for autographs though. Great job!

I attended the Mounted Memories show in Chicago today. The Barry Sanders signing was a little expensive, and I could have picked up a graded PSA/DNA card off of eBay for cheaper. However, he was one of my childhood favorites and I really wanted to meet him. I am also really excited to start the Bird/J/Magic trio. This card was one of my all time favorite cards as a kid.
John ... GREAT looking autos! BUT DAMN, you are making me feel old when you said that Sanders was your favorite card when you were A KID (I was 31 in '89 ... LOL)
STAY HEALTHY!

Ya, he was a really cool guy. I really didn't say much to him because I was trying to stay focused on the cards I was getting signed. I had several high priced cards signed for other board members. I wanted to make sure I got them signed correctly. He was very accommodating when it came to requesting that he use several different pens and placement of the signatures. One thing I can say, he has the largest hands I have ever seen. When he went to shake my hand it absolutely dwarfed mine, and I am not a small guy.
-1955 Bowman hof'er Bob St. Clair (SCN trade) - 1994 Classic hof'er Dick Vitale (TTM)
I picked up the Bob St. Clair through a trade with a SCN member. I was super excited to get back my Dick Vitale's that were sent TTM. He included 3 of his own items including a personalized photo to "Joe" . The really cool part about this is that he sent me back my SASE and used his own envelope and $1.29 in postage to send my cards back. At first, when I saw the envelope I figured ESPN had sent me back some generic fan pack. I was really thrilled to see that my cards were signed. They appear to be authentic and not ghost signed when I compare them to his factory signed auto's. I have been hand witting my ttm letters as of lately. I truly feel that this has made a difference in the quality and quantity of the returns I have been getting.
