Thanks, Babb and Russ! I got a nice hand written letter from Dr. Beaird, too, thanking me for remembering him and his teammates. It's just amazing to me tracking these guys down and seeing where they are now. I think that some of them think I am pulling a cruel prank on them when I find where they are working and call their office to ask permission to write them. I've had many instances where a secretary will ask, "Um, is this some sort of joke? Who are you, and why exactly are you calling again?" After assuring them I am serious, they get all giggly and give me the go ahead. There's no telling how many times I've almost had stalking charges taken out on me! Nervously LOL!!!! Who would have ever guessed how risky TTM autograph collecting would become someday.
I got 2 ttms today. One good and one bad. I'll start with the good. I got one of one from, former LSU center, Bo Strange. He even signed my letter!
Second. 13abc meteorologist, Kelly Heidreder signed the back of my custom. To make matters worse, it rained today and the mail got soaked and the ink ran on my card. Completely ruined it! I guess the bright side is the fact that the stamp didn't get cancelled on my return envelope!
Russ, that sucks the Kelly Heidbreder card got rained on. Although look at the bright side, since she is a meteorologist, consider that a "rain-used" card. :)
I go Bo Strange, too, a couple of years ago, although when I did, I sent it to Louisiana, and it came back post marked from North Carolina. Is that where he lives now? He was a big part of LSU's National Championship team in 1958. And just an FYI, it is spot on compared to mine in regards to authenticity.
On my 5th year wedding anniversary yesterday, my mailman greeted me with the autograph of NFL great, Sam Adams. Sam was an All-Pro defensive tackle for several teams from 1994-2007, including that dominating defense of the Baltimore Ravens that won Super Bowl XXXV.
Thanks, Babb! And the surprises keep coming! Finished off the week by getting former Auburn University safety, Scott Blackmon, in the mail today. Scott played for the Tigers from 1968-1970, and was a key member of that great team in 1970, that went 9-2, beat 'Ole Miss in the Gator Bowl, and finished ranked #10 in the country.
Got back a true, all-time great in the mail today. 9-time major golf champion, Gary Player. With this autograph, I have completed the trifecta of golf's Big 3: Palmer, Nicklaus, and now, Player. Can't believe it.
2 successes today! Both out of Toledo, Ohio! First, 13abc reporter, Kristi Leigh signed my custom and included a nice note. Second, current Toledo Mudhens pitching coach, AJ Sager signed my baseball card! Not bad for a Tuesday!
I got autos ttm from country siger kathy mathea, cat osterman, and adam west. The ironic part is i got a return to sender from mr. west last month and got a signature from him this time which is awsome!
The RTS was from Toledo Mudhens outfielder, Casey Crosby. He must have got traded or released before my card got to him. I'll have to track him down as I need that card for my set!
The successes came from, former Olympian, Billy Mills and Pro Angler Greg Vinson.
Got back from the beach today, and found this waiting for me in the mail, Bucky Ayers. Bucky was a defensive back for Auburn University from 1965-1967, and was also their top men's golfer during that period, too.
I hope everyone had an awsome labor day weekend! I got autograph ttm from harry dean stanton and an autograph picture from actor singer harry connick jr. .
The 'Ole Professor finished out the week with a card that I had completely forgotten about for the past 308 days. Brian Asselstine, an outfielder and pinch hitter for the Braves from 1976-1981, signed this 1977 Topps rookie card for me. I'm thinking about trying to get the other 3 guys on it, too, if I can.
After many tries i got a response ttm from actress bonita friedericy who played general beckman on the old tv series chuck! The address on the return envelope is bonita friedericy co/ trademark talent 144 s beverly drive suite 404 beverly hills ca. 90212. Good luck on this address to everyone who tries it!
Today i have sent off requests for Pat Combs, Randolph Keys,Josh Wise, Rich Yett, Greg Stefan, and Dave Batista, And i need help with addresses for Stephanie Janic, Lisa Marie , Minnie Driver , Laura San Giacomo, Sergio Rodriguez, Andrea Lloyd Curry, Isabelle Fijalkowski, Iciss Tillis, and Jeff Van Camp i have checked for websites and all my address notebooks
My ttms have seemed to really dry up the past couple of weeks, but, my son, Domenik got a return from Mike the Tiger today. Not only did he get his LSU card signed, but he also got a sweet Mike the Tiger poster! Dom was pretty stoked about this return!
Today, I got a shocker in the mail. I wrote to this dear man in March, thinking I'd probably never get his autograph. Well I got today. The 41st President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, along with his National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft.
I got a nice return from regis philbin today! Besides signing my note cards, he sent me a short signed note as well. I thought this was a class act from him!
Hey, Babb, meant to answer your question. There is no secret, man! I just hand write every letter to whomever I am writing to, and let them truly know that I admire them greatly about something they did/do that I find amazing. That's it. No magic. :)
Hey, Russ, why did Darrin cross out the WILX News 10 part on your card? Thought that was kind of odd.
Got a nice autograph in the mail today. Former Auburn defensive back, Jim Bouchillon.
I am currently seeking contact information for, legendary Dream Theater drummer, Mike Portnoy. Can any one help me out with a good mailing address for him? Thanks in advance!
