Thanks for the comments Mike and Doug. Nothing came in the mail today unfortunatly. I have a large order of cards that should be coming from COMC and several of them are items I want to send out TTM.
Got two more returns today. Also got an RTS from golfer Kenny Perry. I used the Macon Ga address for Perry on SCN I may have to try the other one. If anyone knows the right one please let me know.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Thanks, I will give that one a try. I have not sent too many golfers since I dont have many golf cards yet. I was sending a Goodwins Champions from this year. I will send it out again.
Ben ... you can probably buy an entire set of '90, '91, '92 etc... golf cards for $10.00 DELIVERED.

Here are some recent TTM's that came in the past week or so. I also got some autos in person at a wrestling event in NC over the weekend. It was awesome to get to meet some of these guys. The Bravado Brothers are a newer tag team I believe in ROH and they put on an awesome match.
Very nice returns ... I thought you were going to show us an UNREAL auto'd as I saw:
Paul George ... I was waiting to see Ringo & John when I went to your thread! LOL

<< <i>Nice eclectic group of stuff. The Langer and Al Toon UD checklist cards are particularly cool.
Raven's act ("What about me?!? What about Raven?!?") always cracked me up. >>
Yea Raven grabbed the mic and said that stuff. He was a really nice guy when I talked to him. He seemed way more willing to chat with me than some of the other guys. He wasnt hounding people to buy stuff either. I walked by the Rock n Roll Express table and they were steady trying to get people to buy t-shirt.

I didnt think of that. I enjoy getting some of the not so famous returns as well. I really need to focus more on a certain project. I just have not nailed down what I want to work on yet.
Well after almost 250 days finally got a return frm Josh Hamilton. I sent a 08 Goudey card but got it back unsigned and got this small picture instead. Im not going to complain though.
Congrats Ben. He probably signed a bunch of those pictures to send out in response to auto requests as I bet he has someone else open the fan mail for him. That is why you probably got the other card returned unsigned.
Plus, he is probably trying to unload those Rangers pictures now that he is an Angel.

Maybe so. I did see a lot of people get the card they sent signed. Its fine with me though. I am just happy to get something back.
Been kinda slow with getting TTM's back recently. Got one in today. I am setting myself a goal of getting 500 autographs by TTM in 2013. Thats 500 total not 500 different people. We will see how it goes. I have been getting a bunch ready to go out so I am hoping to start off big for the year. Here is a scan of the one I got today.
<< <i>Good luck with your 500 TTM goal for 2013!!!
I guess we'll have to revisit this tread at the end of next year unless you decide to keep a running total as you get them in. >>
I will try to keep this thread updated as I get returns in. As you know sometimes we get busy and forget to. Hopefully I will be able to stay on top of keeping this thread updated. I am planning on doing a video on my Youtube channel in the next day or so dicussing some of my goals and things I hope to work on in 2013. If you have not already please check out and subscribe to my channel BenG76TTM.
Just some various things I want to continue to work on is my 76 Topps baseball set in PSA 8 or better. My 76 Cubs set will go along with this set. I have also picked up a few 75 topps Cubs as well as some 78 Topps Cubs. I have a few cards for the 1980 Burger King Pitch, Hit and Run set and I am closing in on finishing the 91 Ultra Gold insert set in 10's. I am also working on some of the Ken Griffey Jr sets such as the basic Topps set. I have a few other sets started but they are not as much of a priority at the moment.
Lastly I plan on working on getting autographed cards from the Cubs roster. For this I will be working my way back and plan to get all of these I can through TTM unless they have autographed cards that are pretty inexpensive. I have 7 or 8 of these already on the way that were a dollar or two each. I would prefer to have them pictured in the Cubs uniform unless they were not on a card while with the Cubs.
Got no TTM's in the mail today. I have sent out over 30 so far this week so hopefully the returns will start pouring in soon.
Got one today that had been out 224 days which is the Dandridge. He signed my Rackrs card on the wrong side. I have been filling out the backs before I send them because this has happened several times. The 79/80 Topps has a pretty light autograph since he used a ballpoint pen. Its unusual for me to get two basketball returns in one day.
Well here are the first 3 returns of the year with 6 autographed cards. I also got an index card from each but I decided I wouldnt count those. I like these older cards signed. All three were maybe out 9 days really quick returns.
Bob Addis is great to TTMers. I remember him being one of the first I sent out and it came back quickly.

Mega Mailday today with 7 TTM returns plus I got a few more autos in the mail. Here are the TTM's. BTW Mr. Westlake added the picture I did not send it. Nice bonus I like it when they send something extra.
Here are two cards I bought for my 76 Wonderbread Football set
Here are a few I picked up from a fellow board member for my All American set
Awesome day Ben ... wasn't it fun opening the envelopes?
Westlake sent that postcard in my return package as well. It's a nice card to have!

Only one TTM in the mail today. This was an odd one. It only took seven days and I didnt get back the card I sent. I sent a 2012 Topps Heritage. I got this 2011 Topps Heritage insert back instead. Just happy I got a signed card back though.
Interesting and it seems shaky but looks like his sig. I prefer when he puts "iron" on the front with it but you cannot complain about a success.....

<< <i>Interesting and it seems shaky but looks like his sig. I prefer when he puts "iron" on the front with it but you cannot complain about a success..... >>
Yea I thought it was shaky as well. I guess he is getting a bit older though. Glad you think it looks right. I was suprised at how quickly it came back.
Wow this is an awesome thread! I'd never seen it before. Love the Zobrist autos. Also I have a 74 Carbo signed as part of my team set, but yours is much nicer than mine. Great stuff!
Nice additions Ben. Keep us updated on your new TTMs.

Is that Jose Cardenal card an SSPC? Nice shot of his 'fro. That looks like a nice, clean set. Reminiscent of the 53 Bowman. What kind of card stock are they on?

<< <i>Is that Jose Cardenal card an SSPC? Nice shot of his 'fro. That looks like a nice, clean set. Reminiscent of the 53 Bowman. What kind of card stock are they on? >>
Yea that is an SSPC card. On another forum we broke up one of the sets to send them out via TTM and see who could get the most returns. I ended up with the Cubs and some other misc cards. I think the cards are pretty nice. The one signed on the back had a picture of someone else on the front so he wouldn't sign the front. I wouldn't mind picking up a set sometime for my collection.
I have been slack on updating this thread. Finally got around to sending out some new TTM's and just got one back. Jim Marshall signed the 59 Topps. It was only out 6 days. I sent one of these 77 Topps to Chris Batton. He sent 2 of them back for some reason. It was gone 906 days. It does not look like I will be able to finish this 77 Topps card as SCN shows that Rick Camp is deceased and there are no returns recorded for Sarmiento.
Can someone remind me how to post pictures where to URL stuff doesnt show beside it. I have forgotten how.
