    Today I received this one. Jackie is one of my heroes from when I was in the  teens. :) Would have been great if he personalized it also but still, I'm glad he answered!

  • CEE GEE

    Fredrick you have been getting some killer returns bro...WOW !!!!! Very nice...LOVE THESE !!!!!!!!

  • Jeffery Kite

    Hey David, Mr. Kiner returned mine, too. Sometimes he'll sign TTM, sometimes he won't. No real trick to it. You just keep trying. I'm about to resend to him this weekend.

  • CEE GEE

    I got a pic of me and Kiner last month I would love for him to sign...I now heard of 4 denials in 2 weeks for Kiner TTM'S...I only got him once in one try about 3 months ago..here it is

  • Fredrik Nyman

    Thanks CEE, yeah It has been a good week! :) How are things going for you?

  • CEE GEE

    Nothing yet for 2012 Fredrik...I have 62 pending from 2011...sent out 4 for payment and 1 regular request last week so I hope some come back soon...I know the paid ones usual turn around quick...so I should have something to post soon...Also received one unsigned card from Stan Musial this year after 111 days...so I have not received any TTM's yet this year...I went to so many in person autos in the last 10 weeks I kind of stopped focusing on TTM"s but I am slowly getting back into it...I got many to go out just sitting on my desk...I cant wait...

  • David Jackson

    Thanks Jeffery.  I'll try for a third time.  CEE GEE can you pm me the address that worked for you?  I have now sent to 2.  Seeing the card you got signed back then is what inspired me to buy a card of his and send it.  its sweet!  I think the addy I used this last time is right because the "return" is scribbled in shaky handwriting. jest wanna double check.  I just got this card back and I had sent it the first of november.

  • Fredrik Nyman

    Fingers crossed CEE, ( ..if you build it.. ;-) )they'll come!

  • CEE GEE

    Thanks fredrik...LOL...that's funny...I will get that addy out to you soon Dave

  • Mark Johnson

    How do I add a photo? I got a success today and I'm not sure who it is. I thought maybe Cobie Smulders from HIMYM but I can't read the signature so I'm not sure who it is.

  • Mark Johnson

    Who do you think?

  • Adam Richard Utz

    If that is a S its a funky lookin S , t kind of looks like Cobie though 

  • David Jackson

    it matches Cobie Smulders sigs that are on ebay.  im not saying its authentic, just that yes thats whos sig its supposed to be.  congrats!

  • Mark Johnson

    I sent the request 8-20-2010 and received it today. That was a long wait. It has Merry Christmas stamped on the envelope. I wonder from what year. lol

  • Russ Robinson

    I ended a very lack luster mailweek today with a return from, Good Ol' J.R., Jim Ross signed 4 of 4 for me. Add that to the bookplate that I received yesterday from Bob Keith Bonebreak and the signed Mrs. Krabaple card signed by Marcia Wallace. It gives me a grand total of 3 packages and 7 autographs total. At least I didn't get shut out.

  • Herbert E. Buck

  • Fredrik Nyman

  • CEE GEE

    Finally broken the TTM ice for 2012 after almost 71 days...stopped for a while but now got many to go out so hopefully I will be getting more back in sooner or later...since I have over 60 pending that have not been returned...spending the money to get one may be my best bet...but will also send some more out for free request as well...this was a paid request from the great Legendary Whitey Ford...I simply love it...such a great start of 2012 for me...great stuff guys as well....

    Fredrik...that is just an absolutely insane piece write there.... WOW !!!!!

  • Fredrik Nyman

    Wow! CEE, great returns!
  • Russ Robinson

    The triumphant return of CEE GEE! Congratulations, brother! Awesome returns! Great stuff from the rest of you as well!

    Today, I received a package from author Mary Dahiem. She sent me 2 signed bookplates, a hand-written and signed card, and a signed a signed  cover for her latest novel, All The Pretty Hearses. That one is coming out in Spring 2012.

  • Herbert E. Buck

    Still looking for a good address to contact Vince Gill and Amy Grant,any help would be appreciated,thanks, Herbie

  • CEE GEE

    Thanks guys....its been a long time coming...I have just been informed that my Tommy John is quite possibly a secretarial...I am starting to think this is true because I have got Tommy in person and it looks nothing like this...Once this is completely confirmed I will let you guys know

  • Steve Zarelli

    That really sucks if you are being charged for a secretarial signature! I have a few in-person Tommy John sigs if you need them for compatrison purposes.

  • CEE GEE

    Yeah Zipp...this may be true...

  • Jeffery Kite

    What?! Going to charge you, and then have someone else sign it? Tommy John ain't even a HOFer! This is a new low.

  • jason may

    looking for any LSU players ttm address. any sport

  • Robert Babb

    I got an autograph ttm from ward burton who signed two trading cards for me. His address is ward burton enterprises inc. po box 519 halifax va. 245558-0619

  • Robert Babb

  • CEE GEE

    IN 13 DAYS FOR $10...LOVE THESE 1958 TOPPS CARDS !!!!...HOPE EVERYONE ELSE GETS SOME AUTOS IN TODAY !!!!

  • CMFSports

    In regards to the Tommy John issue it appears he is not the problem. On another site it is alledged that his wife is sending back the items unsigned and requesting payment of $15.00 (for cards and more for other items) and signing them herslef. Apparently he has not lived at the NC address in two years (they are or are in the process of getting divorced). None of the Tommy Johns I've seen that have been TTM from NC recently look like the dozens of in person examples I have in my collection. The person who started the thread says he talked to Tommy John and that he wanted collectors to know what was happening. Again, this is from another site. 

  • Steve Cyrkin, Admin

    CMFSports...what site if you don't mind sharing?

  • Mark Johnson

    I got TTM from Elena Satine today.

  • CMFSports

    The info regarding Tommy John was found on Sports Collectors Net. Here is the link to the thread:

    +top panel- "World Series 1949, 52, 53, 55, 56, 59"  and he underlined 55 and 59 because those years they won the W.S.
    +right side panel-  "No hit Giants 5/12/56"
    +Left Side Panel- "No hit Cubs 6-19-52" 
    +Bottom Panel- "League Leader 20-6 1953"
    +Under his name he put - "1955 World Series Champs"
    +after his name he put his uniform number- "#17"

    Thank you Mr Erskine!

  • David Jackson

    Amazing day Part 2:

    Bobby Doerr Signed ball inscribed "HOF 86"

    Thank you Mr. Doerr!

  • Russ Robinson

    I actually got some ttm goodies today! First, I got a signed bookplate from Beth Kerry. Next, I received a nice signed 8x10 of Paula Poundstone. Finally, I got a package from author Anne Kelleher. She sent me a nice letter explaining that she ran out of bookplates and hoped that I wouldn't mind a signed copy of her book, How David Met Sarah! That's right, she sent me a signed book! Class act all the way!

  • Robert Babb

    I got a cool autograph ttm from debbie gibson today! She signed my dvd cover for the scfi movie mega python vs. gatoroid. It is a cheesy movie but i might even send the cover to tiffany to sign? Also awsome autographs everyone!

  • Jeffery Kite

    Friday brought me the autograph of Medal of Honor recipient, John Baca. Mr. Baca received the Medal of Honor in 1971, for his actions from February 10, 1970, when he heroically covered a grenade with his steel helmet, then covered the helmet with his body, absorbing the blast and saving the lives of 8 men. He is truly a remarkable man. I made 3 custom cards; one for me, one for my dear friend Sgt. Brad Mercier of the U.S. Army, and one for Mr. Baca to keep. Mr. Baca signed all 3, and also sent along 3 of his MOH Society bullions. Those will be going to Brad, along with the autographs.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Also on Friday, the mail brought me the autograph of Derek Schmidt, former kicker for Florida State University from 1984-1987. Derek was an All-American all 4 years at FSU, and when his college career was over, he was the NCAA's all-time leading scorer.

  • Jeffery Kite

    Also, just want to apologize to Tommy John for my comments Tuesday. Did not know it was the ex-wife behind the bush-league practice of charging for forgeries. The "not even a HOFer!" comment was bush-league on my part. 288 career wins is nothing to sneeze at, and I hope he one day makes it in. I'm sorry, Tommy, in case you ever read this.

  • Fredrik Nyman

    This monday i received a RTS from William Shatner, I know it was a longshot but still..I wanted to try. :) Hope the rest of the week will bring something better.

  • john

  • john
