The BenG76 TTM Thread Ton of Returns Over the Past Week

After seeing several of the other TTM threads on here it really got me wanting to try getting autographs. I have been putting up my returns on Youtube.

Here is my latest Returns which include Monte Irvin, Dick van Arsedale, John Majors, John Cappelletti and Heath Bell.

    Very nice returns. Were they all free?

    I did pay Monte Irvins fee which was a $20 fee for the 2 autos. I wrote the check to Lincoln University so he is doing the autos for a donation basically.

    Thanks ... I watched the video afterward and heard that you did pay for the Irvin.

    Got 5 more TTM's in the mail today. Several nice returns and I am liking getting more cards back for the All American set. I really like the looks of these cards signed that I had seen in other threads here.

    I sent Blake Beaven 2 cards but he only returned one signed. Nate Archibald signed one of my cards and returned the other unsigned. Turk Lown signed everything but he does charge a fee. The John Matlack was a card I got from a 78 OPC pack from one of the group rips.

    I will edit in a link for the Youtube video later when I upload it. Here is what came in.

    Doug, I just wanted to say that your TTM thread as well as VitoCo1972 and jswieton are what mainly influenced me to get started at this. I also watch several guys on Youtube as well.
  • Congrats on getting into TTM's!!

    I must admit I haven't done any in 23-27 years. Used to a lot as a kid. Seeing yours now, Mike's, Dougs, and others is really cool. I might need to start a new focus.

    Good stuff keep em coming!

    You should give it a try. I am having fun with it and I find it a bit addictive.

    Also got the Youtube video up for Saturdays returns.

    The All-American set was where I started. Beautiful set with perfect card stock for signing. Good luck! It is an addictive hobby.
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭
    Just one return today. Got Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. He has a different signature just looked like he scribbled basically.

    Very cool. A good signer TTM and in person back when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's.

    Agree that it's perfect for signing but they do chip easily. I was surprised that a number of mine came back with chipped edges - but I don't plan on selling them or anything so I'm cool with them. `

    Ben, I had been slacking in TTMs recently...you inspired me to buy Harvey Basketball 2012. I needed a kick in the butt. Glad to see another thread like this on here! Good luck!

    Thanks, your TTM thread inspired me a lot as well. I ordered the Harvey list myself. I ordered the package so I will have the list for baseball, football, hockey and basketball. Good luck

    Got 7 TTM's back in the mail today. Got a nice mix of stuff. Also a favorite wrestler of mine the Honky Tonk Man. Joe Caldwell also sent me a business card that I didnt scan. It looks like he is going to be putting a book out soon. Also Alfred Anderson answered a question for me which was pretty cool as well. I was also pretty stoked with a Texas Ranger return. Thats the second one I have got back. Still waiting on Josh Hamilton.

    Thanks man. I actually started sending these out in mid April. I have been doing the Youtube videos since my first returns but decided to post them here as well recently. I believe I have had 104 returns since I started. When you get some time check out some of my videos on Youtube. There is a link to my channel above in a previous post.
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭
    Got 14 TTM returns in the mailbox today. My best day ever so far. I did scan one card of each person I got autos back from. I did get multiple cards from several of them.

    Just sent it to you. He didnt charge but I did write him a decent note since I am a fan. Check out some of his videos on Youtube he is freaking awesome and hillarious. I think he has an internet talk show as well.

    Thanks, I need to get myself going and send a bunch out. They have been trickling in over the past couple of months.

    I may buy a roll of stamps this week and send out a bunch again.
  • Ben, really enjoyed this thread and videos. Keep posting as you get cards back.
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭

    Not to many returns this week. The Anderson card had been out for quite a while the other two were pretty quick returns.

    Willie Davis has always been a major class act.

    I like that Dantley card as well. I need to pick up some of his older stuff or a rookie for him to sign one day. Thanks for the comment.
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭
    Got a couple more in today. Mailing a stack out tomorrow. The card signed by McGregor is going right back out for another person to sign hopefully.

    I actually sent it to Chris Batton. Is Rick hard to get?
  • GDM67GDM67 Posts: 2,526 ✭✭✭✭
    I can't say first hand but I would be really surprised if he was.
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭
    Got a couple more in yesterday and today. I have sent out a bunch this week as well. I am also going to be sending to some bigger stars soon as well even if I have to pay fees. I just gotta get the right cards for them first.
