    Awsome jeffrey! I got two ttms from jim davis who signed a bunch of garfield cards for me!

  • Russ Robinson

                 

    I love those Collegiate cards Professor! Keep 'em coming! Today, I received my custom cards back from OVW stars Hannah and Holly Blossom!

  • Jeffery Kite

    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.

  • Robert Babb

    jeffrey! It is awsome that you ask permission and remember them this way! I got very cool autographed pictures ttm from gary sinise and bree turner!

  • Russ Robinson

    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!

  • Robert Babb

    I got an autograph ttm from actor robert lasardo!

  • Jeffery Kite

    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.

  • Russ Robinson

    Thanks Jeffery. I can't really remember where I sent to Bo Strange.

    After no mail on Wednesday, I did receive 4 packages today.

    I added signed cards of Jose Ortega, Quintin Berry, and Brandon Douglas to my Toledo Mudhens set and I got a surprise return from Biz Markie!

     

  • Jeffery Kite

    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.

  • Robert Babb

    happy anniversary jeffrey!

  • Jeffery Kite

    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.

  • Adam Richard Utz

    yesterday I got Country Great Sylvia Hutton  back she signed my Country magazine

    That song she sang, "Nobody," is a timeless 80's classic, Adam. Nice score!

  • Jeffery Kite

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.

  • Jeffery Kite

    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 an autograph ttm from greg louganis today!

  • Jeffery Kite

    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.
