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!
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!!!
just a killer mail day for me today...very due !!!!!!!
Robert Englund...Freddy Kruger...for $10 in 9 days
Tommy John...added his auto to my Guidry card...$15 in 9 days
Jim Bunning signed 2-2 free request...shout out and thanks to my man Jeffrey for the address...
This was just awesome...George W. Bush Book plate....my first book plate and presidential auto...the best part about this is my other good pal over on youtube sent this request and put my address as the return address...it came from Texas and he added his note on the back which was quite a great surprise...had no idea he was doing that...THANKS JASON !!!!!!! AKA NYgrapher....what a killer day !!!!!!!...great mixed bag...plus an auction purchase !!!!!
Finally got my Bradley Cooper 8x10's back! he signed 2 photos personalized to me and it took over 7 months. Very glad to see this one returned because I had already marked it off my list of never coming back!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Ball Signed by Carl Erskine and inscribed with a lot of stats:
+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"
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
l get into a building different buildings at different times....cards today--parquet tiles another...posters another and baseballs and helmets another...l have a hard problem staying on task and it makes the collection growing out of my basement..now lm concentrating on 'in person' signatures--posters..it has been going well!!! sux that l cant get to other venues to get others done and l REALLY hate paying those HUGE prices at shows...
