Steve Bartkowski
C/O DPR Construction in 9 days, signed 3/3
Very quick success from one of the most underrated QB's of all-time, he is still the Falcons all-time leader in passing yards and TD's. He was the 1st overall pick in 1975 and was the Rookie of the Year that same year, ahead of Walter Payton. I needed the 2005 topps all-american for my set.

Got home from vacation and had 7 successes......

Sam Perkins
C/O Home in 107 days, signed 2/2
One of the best 3 pt shooting big man in NBA history and one of the most underrated as well. Played on the showtime Lakers teams of the 90's and also a member of the 1984 Olympic team that won gold. I needed the 1990 Fleer for my set.


Zack Cox
C/O New Orleans Zephyrs in 14 days, signed 3/3
A highly regarded prospect in the Cardinals system that was traded to the Marlins in the 2012 season. Kind of slumping lately and I hope he can rebound and have a successful career in the MLB. I needed the 2011 Heritage Minors card for my set.


Rex Burkhead
C/O Cincinnati Bengals in 35 days, signed 4/4
My first success from the 2013 rookie class. Had a great college career with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and I think was a steal for the Bengals in the 6th round. I hope to get more of the 2013 rookies coming in.


Brock Osweiler
C/O Denver Broncos in 51 days, signed 1/2
Very nice success from the future starting QB for the Broncos once Peyton Manning retires. He is also the tallest QB in the NFL currently at 6'8, he has shown to have potential to have a good NFL career in the future.


Daniel Briere
C/O Flyers Skate Zone in 46 days, signed 2/2
One of the more underrated players in the NHL and is always a productive high energy player. He is now a member of the Montreal Canadians, signing a 2 year $8 million contract this off season. I needed the 11-12 UD card for my set.


Alexander Gustafsson
C/O Alliance Training Center in 107 days, signed 4/4
Really pumped to get these back. One of my favorite fighters in the UFC today. He is currently ranked the #2 ranked Lightweight in the UFC and has a HUGE fight coming up against Jon Jones at UFC 164. He was also nice enough to inscribe his nickname "The Mauler" on all 4 cards.


Maya Moore
C/O Minnesota Lynx in 203 days, signed 1/1 and included a signed index card.
Did not expect to get this back, she is one of the most decorated players in both NCAA and WNBA history. She is already one of the best players in the WNBA and should have a nice successful career. Imthinking about getting some of the Olympic cards signed TTM, they look really nice. She was nice enough to inscribe both Col 3:23 and USA Olympic Gold which is really cool.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 30 2013, 04:08 PM

2 successes today.....

Alexander Gustaffson....
C/O Alliance Training Center in 8 days, signed 3/4
Oops I didnt even realize I sent to him again, I didnt think he would return this quickly. The signatures on these are way worse than the first success I got back from him, but I cant complain. Really looking forward to his fight against Jon Jones.


Anthony Carter
C/o Home in 106 days, signed 2/2
Very nice nice success from the former Vikings WR. He had a very underrated career and was also a very good college WR at Michigan. I needed the 2005 Topps All-Americans card for my set.

Daniel Cormier
C/O AKA Gym in 12 days, signed 6/6
Very nice success from the former Strikeforce champion and #3 ranked Heavyweight fighter in the UFC. I actually sent to Cormier back in February and didnt recieve anything. I started sending 4x6's with a lot of my UFC requests and they look really nice signed and I hope to get more of them back soon. Im really happy he signed all 6 items since I said in my letter he could keep whatever he liked.

Dana White
C/O UFC in 14 days, signed 3/4

Giovani Bernard
c/O Cincinnati Bengals in 14 days, signed 4/4
Very nice success from the first RB selected in the 2013 draft. He should be the starting RB this year with the Bengals and Im happy to get him now. I have now gotten both of the RB's that were drafted this year with the Bengals in Burkhead and Bernard.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 6 2013, 05:11 PM

1 success today.....

Mel Rojas Jr
C/O Altoona Curve in 14 days, signed 3/3

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 7 2013, 02:36 PM

1 Success Today.....

Cain Velasquez
C/O AKA Gym in 16 days, signed 6/6
Very happy about this success! This is my 2nd return from Velasquez and this was a much quicker return. You can never have too many success from the #1 ranked Heavyweight fighter in the world and Im really looking forward to his 3rd fight against Junior Dos Santos Oct 19.

James Edwards
C/O Home in 10 days, signed 2/2
Cool success from one of the most underrated players of the late 80's-early 90's and a member of those bad boys Detroit Pistons teams. I needed the 1990 fleer for my set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 9 2013, 10:24 PM

3 successes today...

Jim Paxson
C/O Home in 11 days, signed 2/2 and included and signed index card.

Carter Capps
C/O Seattle Mariners in 10 days, signed 2/2
WOO m first 2013 Topps success back, hope its the first of many. Added the inscription "Go M's SoDo Mojo" I have no idea what SoDO Mojo means but its pretty cool nonetheless. I needed the 2013 topps for my set.



Norman Reedus
C/O Raleigh Studios in 294 days! Signed 2/2
Awesome success from one of the stars of the Walking Dead, I have heard that they have stopped forwarding their fanmail to the actors so I was extremely happy to get this back. I now have gotten every request I have sent to the Walking Dead actors.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 10 2013, 10:22 PM

1 success today.....

Matt Dominguez
C/O Houston Astros in 131 days, signed 2/2
Nice success from the promising young Astro. He is putting up decent power numbers with 14 HR's, but has a pretty bad BA with a .230. I hope he continue to get better and be a crucial member of the Astros team going forward. I also needed the 2011 Heritage Minors card for my set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 12 2013, 06:33 PM

2 successes today....

Mike Cameron
C/o Home in 14 days, signed 2/2
Very nice success from one of the most underrated players throughout his career. He was always one of the best defensive players and also had some good offensive years as well. He is also a great person off the field doing a lot of charitable work and other work in the community.


Brandon Vera
C/O Alliance Training Center in 26 days, signed 4/5
Cool success from a veteran of the octogon. He is scheduled to make his return to the Heavyweight division after 5 years to face Ben Rothwell at UFC 164 and I hope he can be victorious. Its weird he personalized the photo To Jason, but the cards To Connor. He must have mixed up the names or there was some kind of mix up.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 13 2013, 09:40 PM

1 success today....

Jarome Iginla
C/O Pittsburgh Penguins in 70 days, signed 2/2
Awesome success from one of the best players to ever play in the NHL. I wasnt sure I would get this back because I sent them before the season was over. He will be a HOFer when his career is over. I needed the 11-12 UD card for my set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 15 2013, 08:46 PM

Got back from Packers training camp and had two Baseball successes waiting for me...

Jamie Moyer
C/O Home in 17 days, signed 4/5
Very nice success from the oldest player to ever record a win. He was a very underrated player during his career and didnt truly get the recognition he deserved.


Randy Choate
C/O St. Louis Cardinals in 8 days. signed 2/2
Cool success from one of the better middle relivers in the MLB. He was traded to the Marlins in the Hanley Ramirez deal and then signed with the Cardinals this offseason. This is the 2nd success fro my 2013 Topps set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 16 2013, 04:11 PM

2 successes today....

Mark Price
C/O Charlotte Bobcats in 8 days, signed 4/5
Very nice success from one of the most consistent shooters of all-time, had over a 90% free throw shooting percentage over his career. He one of the best players in Cavs history. I needed the 1990 fleer for my set.


Jason Motte
C/O St Louis Cardinals in 8 days, signed 2/2
Cool success from the Cardinal closer, he unfortunately got hurt and is out for this season.I hope he can make a fast and successful recovery. I needed the 2013 Topps for my set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 20 2013, 03:09 PM

1 success today...

Gilbert Melendez
C/O El Nino Training Center in 14 days, signed 3/3
This is my 2nd success from Mr. Melendez and got to me about 2 weeks shorter. He is the #2 ranked lightweight and has a big fight coming up against Diego Sanchez at UFC 166. He along with Daniel Cormier did a nice job on the 4X6 signing small leaving enough room to get the all 4 fighters on it at some point. I hope I can someday add Benson Henderson an Frank Mir to this in the future.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 22 2013, 03:17 PM

1 success today....

Steve Cishek
C/O Miami Marlins in 10 days, signed 3/3
Very nice success from the Marlins Closer. He has a had a good season converting 27 of 29 save opportunities in 2013. Very cool of him to inscribe col. 3:23 on all of the cards and God Bless on the 2013 Topps. I needed the 2013 Topps for my set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 23 2013, 04:52 PM

5 successes today!

Ryan Sweeney
c/O Chicago Cubs in 14 days, signed 3/3
Nice success from the Cubs utility man, he has a had a decent season hitting for a .295 average this year. He has been one of the rare consistent hitters for the Cubs this year. I needed the 2013 Topps for my set


Tom Wilhelmsen
C/O Tacoma Rainiers in 14 days, signed 2/3
Very nice success from the former Mariners closer. He was pitching very well at the beginning of the season saving 24 games. He hit a wall and was sent down to Tacoma August 6th. He has a very cool story where he retired from baseball and was a bartender and then decided to give baseball a second chance and had success. I needed the 2013 Topps for my set.


Tom Milone
c/o Oakland Athletics in 35 days, signed 2/2
Cool success from the former SP for the A's. He was actually optioned to Triple-A on August 3rd so Im kind of suprised I got this one back. He was involved in the gio Gonzalez trade where he was traded from the Nationals to the A's. I also needed the 2013 Topps for my set.


Jed Lowrie
C/O Oakland Athletics in 24 days, signed 2/2 and included a buisness card for his photography.
Nice success from the A's shortstop. He had a very good year with the Astros last year, hitting 16 HR's as a SS. He is having a very solid season this year with the A's hitting 9 HR's along with a .284 AVG. He is very underrated and should have a very solid MLB career. I also needed the 2013 Topps for my set.


Harrison Smith
C/O Minnesota Vikings in 76 days, signed 5/5!
Awesome success from one of the best young safeties in the league. I really enjoyed watching him play at Notre Dame and I really wanted the Packers to draft him but of course he had to be drafted by the Vikings. I still enjoy watching him play nad I think he will have a very good NFL career. He was also nice enough to sign 5 cards for me which he didnt have to do and I said in the letter he could keep any of the cards he liked/wanted.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 24 2013, 10:41 PM

1 success today...

Liam Hendriks
c/o Rochester Red Wings in 25 days, signed 2/2
Cool success from the Twins pitcher. He actually just got recalled from Rochester today and got shelled for 7 runs in 4 1/3 IP. He was also a member of the 2009 WBC with Australia, in which he was the yungest player ever to play for them. I needed the 2013 Topps fro my set.

Posted by: stlramman Sep 21 2013, 05:37 PM

Thank you sir. I might have to give that one a try!

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 7 2013, 05:33 PM

Finally got a chance to update this thread with 31 successes! These return dates are rough estimates and I will try to order the successes by sports,set,etc. If anyone is interested in a address please feel free to send a pm.

Misty May-Treanor
C/O Home in 55 days and signed 1/1
Nice success from one of the best beach volleyball players of all-time. She retired just before the 2012 olympics and has one of, if not the most decorated careers in volleyball. I have started to send out some of these Topps olympic cards so I hope I can get some of them back soon.


Missy Franklin
C/O USA Swimming in 116 days and signed 1/1
Awesome success from one of the stars of the 2012 summer olympics. She won 4 gold medels and 1 silver at the age of 17. She is one of the most up and coming olympians and Im glad to get her TTM while she still signs. Im debating whether I want to start the Topps olympic set since I know a lot of them sign.


Derek Holland
C/O Texas Rangers in 79 days and signed 1/2
Cool success from the "Dutch Oven" and starting pitcher of the Rangers. He had an ok 2013 season going 10-9 with a 3.42 ERA, but his best season was in 2011 in which he went 16-5. Its also a nice success for my 2013 Topps set, which was a common theme with these baseball successes.


Glen Perkins
C/O Minnesota Twins in 58 days and signed 1/1
Very nice success from the Twins relief pitcher. He had a great 2013 season going 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA and 36 saves and also being named to the AL All-Star team as an injury replacement. He was one of the lone bright spot for the Twins this season and I hope he have continued success going into next season. A very nice add to my 2013 Topps set.


David Murphy
C/O Texas Rangers in 68 days and signed 1/3
Nice success from the Texas Rangers Utility man. I have always enjoyed watching Murphy play because he plays hard and gives 100%. I wish he would have signed my 2013 Topps card so if anyone has a signed 2013 topps card of Murphy and wants to trade please lmk.


Lucas Luetge
C/O Seattle Mariners in 59 days and signed 2/4
Cool success from the Mariners relief pitcher and left-handed specialist. A cool fact about Luetge is that he was one of 6 pitchers that the Mariners used to no-hit the Dodgers in 2012. Another nice add to my 2013 Topps set.


Joe Nathan
C/O Texas Rangers in 61 days and signed 1/3
Awesome success from one of the best closers in the MLB. I have always enjoyed watching Nathan pitch and I have thought he was one of the more underrated players in the league. He earned his 300th save this season and I hope he can stay healthy and continue to earn more saves in the future.


Mark West
C/O Phoenix Suns in 59 days and signed 2/2
Nice success from one of the most underrated players of the early 80's-late 90's and one of the key members of the 1993 Suns team that went to the finals and eventually lost to Chicago Bulls. Also a rare add to my 1990-91 Fleer

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 7 2013, 05:36 PM

Geno Atkins
C/O Cincinnati Bengals in 42 days and signed 1/1
Awesome success from one of the best Defensive Tackles in the NFL. He is only going into his 3rd season in the league and will continue to get better and quite possible become the best interior defensive lineman in the league. Very happy to see that he signed TTM and wanted to get him while he is still signing.


Kirk Cousins
C/O Washington Redskins in 118 days signed 2/5
Another awesome success from quite possible the best backup QB in the NFL right now. He could probably be a starter on a lot of teams around the league. I sent 5 saying in my letter to keep a couple and give them to his foundation.


Chandler Jones
C/O New England Patriots in 118 days and signed 2/2
Cool success from one of the better young OLB's in the league and still continuing to get better as a complete OLB. He is also the brother of UFC Light Havyweight division champion and best UFC fighter in the world Jon Jones. I like getting the Prizm cards signed but this one did bubble a bit unfortunately.


Bert Jones
C/O Home in 92 days and signed 2/2 and also signed 2 index cards
Nice success from one of the most underrated QB's of all-time. He is regarded by many as one of most physically gifted QB's of all-time and could have been one of the best if he didnt get injured and have to retire. Also a very nice add to my 2005 Topps All-Americans set.


Earl Morrall
C/O Home in 67 days and signed 2/2
Awesome success from the former Baltimore Colts and Miami Dolphins QB. He was on the losing side of "The Gaurantee" game by Joe Namath when the Jets upset the Colts in Super Bowl III. He also helped the Dolphins become the only undefeated team in the history of the NFL. Me personally I would love to hear the stories this guy could tell because he has been part of some of the biggesy moments in NFL history. These are also 2 great adds to my Topps All-Americans set.


Coby Fleener
C/O Indianapolis Colts in 134 days and signed 2/2
Very nice success from the Tight End of the Indianapolis Colts. He got drafted with the 34th pick in the 2012 draft and was lucky enough to have his college QB throwing to him in the NFL.


EJ Manuel
C/O Buffalo Bills in 118 days and 76 days(2 different requests) and signed 1/1 both times.
Awesome success from the franchise QB of the Bills. I enjoyed watching Manuel play at FSU and he seems like a real down to earth guy. I hope for nothing but the best to him in his career with the Bills.

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 7 2013, 05:38 PM

Mark Brunell
C/O His Foundation in 191 days and signed 2/2
When I found this card of Brunell in a Packers uniform I knew I had to send to him TTM. You dont see many cards of him in a Packers unform and the signature looks great on the card. Also if anyone knows where I can send to James Thrash TTM I would love to get this dual signed.


Christine Michael
C/O Seattle Seahawks in 79 days and signed 3/4 and included a real cool letter.
One of my favorite successes. I always love when players take the time to write a letter responding to some of the things I write in my letter. I hope for all the best in Michael's career in Seattle and I wish he would get a little more playing time.


Bryan Bulaga
C/O Green Bay Packers in 44 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from the Packers OT. Unfortunately he tore his ACL in the Packers family night scrimmage and was done for the year. He is the Packers best lineman when healthy and helped the Packers win the superbowl in 2010 when he played great at RT. Kind of a weird pen color choice but it must have been what he had lying around.


Jordy Nelson
C/O Green Bay Packers in 44 days and signed 1/4
Another one of my favorite successes of this bunch. I didnt know he was 1 per or I wouldnt have sent him 4 cards but I am glad he signed my favorite of the 4. Nelson is one of my favorite WR's in the league and has by far the best sideline awareness in the NFL and some of those catches are amazing!


Bobby Hull
C/O Chicago Blackhawks in 92 days and signed 2/2 and also signed 2 index cards
Another cool success from one of the true class acts of the NHL. Hull is one of the best TTM signers for HOFers in the NHL. He also was also nice enough to put inscriptions on the 2 index card and the 4X6 which he didnt have to do. I always like getting Blackhawks TTM and the inscriptions are great suprise.


Mike Richards
C/O Los Angeles Kings in 209 days and signed 1/1
Nice success from the center of the LA Kings. He was a key member of the Kings team that went on to win the Stanley Cup in 2012 recording 4 goals and 11 assists in those 20playoff games. I like sending these jersey cards TTM because I can get them dual signed and if anyone knows if Gagne signs TTM please let me know.


Luke Schenn
C/O Flyers Skate Zone in 123 days and signed 2/2
Nice success from the Flyers Defensemen. Being traded to the Flyers from the Maple Leafs he gets the chance to play with his brother Brayden. I enjoy watching Luke Schenn play and he is one of the better up and coming D-Men in the NFL. This is also a good addition to my 11-12 UD set.


Zdeno Chara
This is a very weird return from either Chara or the Boston Bruins. I didnt send this card to Chara it came back in a envelope from the Boston Bruins and inside was a card signed by Chara. I will now try to get this card triple signed by Luicic and Thomas now that he plays for the Florida Panthers. A very wierd but awesome return.

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 7 2013, 05:39 PM

Zach Parise
C/O Minnesota Wild in 127 days and signed 1/2
My best Hockey return to date, Parise is one of the best players in the NHL and I was very suprised to see this come back. I have always enjoyed watching Parise play and I especially enjoy watching him play for Team USA. A Great addition to my 11-12 UD set.


Chris Leben
C/O Gym in 55 days and signed 8/5 and included 2 signed finest cards and an index card.
A very cool success from a fighter with one of the best chins in the UFC, he is almost impossible to knockout. I got the artwork card off a guy on combatcardboard and it looks great signed in silver. Its really cool of Leben to include extras and he didnt have to do that. Leben has a very interesting fight against Uriah Hall UFC 168 in which could be Hall's last fight if he losses according to Dana White.


Jake Ellenberger
C/O Reign Training Center in 194 days and signed 4/4
Another nice success from the 5th ranked Welterweight fighter according to UFC.com. He and Rory Mcdonald had a really boring fight in which was a highly anticipated fight. I really like the way the copper color ink shows up on the cards and I was happy to see him add the "Juggernaut" inscription on the finest card.


Demetrious Johnson
C/O Gym in 69 days and signed 5/5
This is my 2nd return from Johnson, he one of the best signers in the UFC and also the current flyweight champion. Also does anyone know if someone different signed the finest on the bottom? It looks totally different than any of the other signed Johnson cards.


Matt Brown
C/O Home in 65 days and signed 4/4
This one is especially special because Mr.Brown gave me his address to send to get signed personally by email. He said his son shares the same name I do and that he will sign anything you send to him. A very cool guy and has a big fight against Carlos Condit at UFC on Fox 9.


Antonio Silva
C/O ATT Gym in 55 days and signed 4/4
Another awesome success from the 4th ranked heavyweight according to UFC.com. I have been wanting to get Silva for a while and was very happy when I got this return. He has a big fight against Mark Hunt at UFC Fight Night 33 and the fight should end in a knockout. I was also very happy that he added the "Bigfoot" inscription on all of the cards, just a very cool overall success.


Wanderlei Silva
C/O Wand Fight Team in 79 days and signed 5/5
This is also my 2nd return from Silva and Im very happy to get another return. Silva has been signing a lot lately and I would highly recommend sending to him while he is still signing. I was also very pleased to get a good quality signature because Silva has been known to sign some ugly autographs over the years.


Michael Mcdonald
C/O Oakdale MMA Academy in 192 days and signed 2/2
Very Excited to get this one back. He is one of the best up and coming fighters in the UFC and is expected to fight Urijah Faber at UFC on Fox 9. He also wrote a very cool letter explaining how he signs his autograph, I asked if its possible that he inscribe his nickname "Mayday" and he explained that he signs every autograph with that inscription. I always love getting the personal letters and this one is no different. Both of the signatures showed up great on the moment of truth and finest cards.

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 19 2013, 01:39 AM

Got a chance to update with 4 successes......

Marquise Goodwin
C/O Buffalo Bills in 89 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from the Bills speedy WR. This is a timely success since Goodwin caught a nice 40 yard TD from Thad Lewis in last weeks game. I think Goodwin will be a big play guy for the Bills not only as a WR but a kick returner as well. I also like how he added Hook 'em on both of the cards were he is in a Texas uniform.


Antoine Carr
C/O Home in 79 days and signed 2/2 and included 2 signed index cards
Cool success from a very underrated center who enjoyed a nice long career in the NBA. Carr was before his time in his style of play, he was undersized but could shoot real well from the center position. Carr hasent been a real good signer over the years so when I saw a recent success from Carr I sent to him right away. This is a very nice add to my 1990-91 Fleer set.


Urijah Faber
C/O Home in 74 days and signed 5/5
This is my second success from Mr. Faber and Im happy he is still a very good signer. He has big fight against Michael Mcdonald(Who I also got back recently) on December 14 at UFC on Fox 9.


Erik Koch
C/O Gym in 80 days and signed 6/6
Very nice success from the #8 ranked featherweight according to Sherdog. Unfortunately, Koch lost his last fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 164 and I hope he can rebound in his next fight. I really wish Koch would have signed on the relic with the silver sharpie, I think it would have looked really nice but I cant complain when he signed all my cards.

Finally get another chance to update this thread with 13 successes...
(These return dates are rough estimates)

Justin Maxwell
C/O Kansas City Royals in 107 days and signed 2/2
Cool success from the Royals OF. He had a pretty good year with the Astros hitting 18 Home Runs and the was traded to the Royals later in the 2013 season. I needed the 2013 Topps for my set.


Scott Downs
C/O Atlanta Braves in 110 days and signed 2/2
Nice success from the veteran pitcher. He has been a starting pitcher, relief pitcher, and closer throughout his career. He was always a underrated pitcher and is a free agent entering the 2014 season. I also needed the 2013 topps for my set.


Ryan Lindley
C/O Arizona Cardinals in 170 days and signed 7/7
Nice success from the Cardinals backup QB. He got the chance to start last year vs. the Rams but struggled and I hope he can continue to progress, he has all the skills in the world but is inconsistent. I said in my letter he could keep as many as he wanted but he was nice enough to sign all of them, even including bible inscriptions on a couple of the cards.


Kordell Stewart
C/O WZGC FM in 30 days and signed 5/5
Very nice success from one of the most versitile players in the NFL. He is one of the only pro QB's who played WR and returned kicks as well. He had the nickname "slash" for playing so many positions in the NFL. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Stewart at the University of Colorado and he was very nice and made me even more of a fan.


Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila
C/O Home in 30 days and signed 3/3 and included and cool oversized Packers card.
Awesome success from one of my favorite Packer players of all-time. He is still the Packers all-time leader in sacks and in my opinion was one of the most underrated pass rushers in his prime. He was nice enough to inscribe PHOF '13 for Packers Hall of Fame in which he was inducted into in 2013. He also wrote Jesus! on all of the cards which is pretty cool. Really nice success!


Niklas Hjalmarsson
C/O Chicago Blackhawks in 176 days and signed 1/3
Very nice from the Blackhawks D-Man. He is pretty underrated and often gets overshadowed by Keith and Seabrook, but he is always been a solid player in his time in Chicago. He is a 2 time stanley cup champion and I hope he can help bring in many more to come.

Posted by: GBforce12 Nov 28 2013, 03:17 AM

Dominick Cruz
C/O Gym in 120 days and signed 4/6.
Very nice success from the previously #1 ranked bantamweight fighter, but is not currently ranked due to inactivity. He is making his return Feb. 1st, 2014 at UFC 169 in a big fight against Renan Barao. This should be a very fun and exciting fight to watch.


Brian Stann
C/O Warriors Legion MMA in 112 days and signed 6/6 and included 2 signed cards.
Very cool success from a true american hero. I have wanted to get Stann for ALONG time and have sent to him 3 seperate occasions. Stann had a highly decorated military career and I highly recommend reading his story as it his very inspirational. I love the picture of Stann with the American Flag and was really happy he inscribed "All-American" on it. He recently retired from the UFC and I hope for nothing but the best to him outside of the cage.


Clay Guida
C/O Home in 119 days and signed 6/6 and he even included a signed index card.
Very cool success from the #5 ranked featherweight in the world. I really like getting the UFC posters signed and this will probably be going out to Gray Maynard soon. As always I wrote in my letter that he could feel free to keep as many cards they want, but these UFC fighters are great signers TTM.


Daniel Cormier
C/O AKA Gym in 298 days and signed 3/3
Took a long time, but Im glad I got a nice return from Mr. Cormier. He had highly decorated ameuter wrestling background and has translated that to highly successful MMA career. I like the gold pen he choose to use, but i wish he would have let the pen dry because all three cards had some kind of smudge on the signature, still a great success none the less.


Ryan Bader
C/O Power MMA & Fitness in 111 days and signed 6/6.
Very nice success from the #9 ranked Light heavyweight in the world. He unfortunately loss his last fight to Glover Teixeira and I hope he can rebound and win his next fight. I was happy to see he inscribed his nickname "darth" on 4 of the 6 items, he dosent do that real often. The 4x6 really looks nice with the silver pen he used.


Anthony Pettis
C/O Gym in 121 days and signed 5/5 and included a signed index card.
Awesome success from the lightweight champion. He is one of my favorite fighters in the UFC and I cant wait until his next fight. Its a shame he got hurt and I hope he can make a fast recovery and successfully defend his title.

and last, but not least......

Jon "Bones" Jones!
C/O Gym in 327 days and signed 4/4
My best UFC TTM to date and probably one of my best TTM's period. He is my favorite fighter in the UFC and when I first got into UFC TTM's he was the fighter I wanted the most. I am extremely happy to get these back, and never fully expected to get a return when I sent these out almost a year ago. I hope he can defend his title at light heavyweight or if he moves up to heavyweight I would love to see a Velasquez Vs. Jones fight in the future. He was even nice enough to write a short but sweet note back on my letter, which I though was awesome!

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 2 2013, 10:18 PM

1 success today...

Kenny Florian
C/O Home in 231 days and signed 5/5
Very cool success from one of the legends of the sport. Unfortunately, he never won a championship though losing his last fight against Jose Aldo. Florian retired on May 31, 2012 after experiencing numbness and tingling down his right leg and was advised by doctors to retire. Florian is now a color commentator for the UFC and actually did commentary for yesterdays The Ultimate Fighter Finale 18. Very nice success since Florian is hit or miss TTM and does take a while to get back.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 13 2013, 02:05 AM

Got 1 success in lately...

Anderson Varejao
C/O Cleveland Cavaliers in 112 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from the Cavs center. He is one of the best rebounding centers in the league when healthy and I hope he can stay healthy going forward. He is averaging around 8 points and 8 rebounds this season which I think Varejao can put up better numbers than that. When i saw the brazil rc I thought it was a very unique looking card and looks nice signed.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 13 2013, 11:33 PM

2 successes today....

Bjoern Werner
C/O Indianapolis Colts in 11 days and signed 2/3
Cool success from the Colts 1st round draft choice, its always cool when recent high round draft picks sign ttm. He has been a good signer since he has been drafted and I hope he continues this trend. Unfortunately, he hasnt really put up big numbers with only a half a sack and 10 tackles this season but he has a lot of potential and hopefully he can be the next big pass rusher in Indy. It was also really cool that he inscribed "Go Colts" and "Go Noles" on both of the respective cards.


Kurt Rambis
C/O Los Angeles Lakers in 11 days and also signed 2/3
Very nice success from the former NBA fan favorite. He signs of and and on periodically and it seems like he has started signing recently. This is a very nice add to my 1990 fleer set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 24 2013, 01:53 AM

4 successes over the last couple of days...

James Lofton
C/O Home in 7 days and signed 1/2
Very nice from the Hall of Fame WR and Packer legend. He was honestly the best player on those bad Packer teams of the 70's and 80's and dosent really get the recognition he deserves. He does have a price list, but was nice enough to sign 1 of the 2 cards which it totally fine. This is a great add to my Packers collection.


Gorgui Dieng
C/O Minnesota Timberwolves in 21 days and signed 1/1 and also signed an index card
This is my first success from the 2013 NBA Draft class. I have sent about 20 cards to 2013 rookies. I enjoyed watching Dieng play for Louisville and should develop into a solid center in Minnesota. He hasnt really got much playing time behind Pekovic and also Love who plays center in some cases. Dieng is averaging 1.5 points and about 2 rebounds per game and hopefully these numbers can rise going forward. I hope that I can get some more cards back from the 2013 NBA draft class.


Miesha Tate
C/O Take Down Enterprises in 211 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from the Womens Bantamweight championship contender. She is facing Ronda Rousey this saturday at UFC 168 for the championship and honestly I want Miesha to win it. I sent a second request to Ms. Tate about a week ago so hopefully I can get those back as well. She signed one of the finest cards in a nice gold sharpie and I wish she would have signed all of them using that pen, but they dont look bad at all and I really cant complain. She was also nice enough to inscribe each of the cards with her nickname "cupcake" which I always ask the fighters to inscribe there nicknames and always appreciate when they do it.


Georges St-Pierre
C/O GSP Enterprises in 208 days and signed 1/1
Awesome success from arguably the best MMA fighter of all-time. This is my first ever success sending to Canada and extremely happt it came back. He is actually a good signer, but he takes forever so if you are willing to wait you will more than likely get GSP back. He also always includes a GSP decal with every return. One of my favorite TTM successes!

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 25 2013, 02:45 AM

1 success before Christmas...

Matt McGloin
C/O Oakland Raiders in 23 days and signed 1/1 and also signed 2 index cards
Very nice success from the Oakland Raiders QB. Its not very common for starting NFL QB's to sign TTM so I jumped at the chance when I saw that he had a recent success. This is the only base rookie he has and only has 2 total cards with the select rookie auto. He was an undrafted free agent and beat out Pryor and Matt Flynn to start this season and didnt look that bad all things considered. I really hope he gets a shot to compete for the starting QB position next season.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 26 2013, 10:57 PM

3 successes today...

Chad Greenway
C/O Minnesota Vikings in 9 days and signed 2/2
Very nice success from the pro-bowl linebacker. He has quietly put together a very solid career and dosent really recieve the recognition he truly deserves even though he is a Viking. I really like the look of the 2009 Magic cards and I wish I had more of them to send TTM. Im happy to get these back because he probably wont be signing again till next season.


Bobby Bowden
C/O Home in 9 days as well and signed 1/1 and included a signed card and index card.
Awesome success from one of the best college coaches of all-time. He seems like a really nice guy and seems to genuinely care about his players as well as the fans. He was nice enough to include a signed allen and ginter base card and he didnt have to that and I greatly appreciate it. He has always been a good signer during his career as well as post career and I recommend sending to him if you want to add a college Hall of Fame member to your collection.


Josh Hamilton
C/O Angels in 123 days and signed 1/2
There is not much to be said here since everyone has been getting him in. Still this a great success from one of the best players in the MLB. I knew that he only signed 1 but I decided to try and get a second success and am totally cool with him only signing one. I do wish that he ould have signed in blue since I have seen some successes come in blue and I think this card would have looked better in blue than black, its still very nice and am extremely happy to get in. This is a HUGE add to my 2013 Topps set and I might try to send an 8x10 next year.

Posted by: cbware88 Dec 26 2013, 11:33 PM

Wow!!!! It was really cool of Mr. Bowden to include the additional autographed card. Congrats on the three successful returns

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 4 2014, 01:23 AM

3 successes recently...

Roy Hibbert
C/O Indiana Pacers in 33 days and signed 1/3
Nice success from the Pacers all-star center. He has been arguably the best center in the NBA for a couple of years now, and really doesnt get the recognition he deserves. One bad thing about this success is that at the top of the card someone must have taped the card together with something else and then took the tape off peeling the card alittle. Still a very nice success and I also sent to Paul George so I hope I get that in soon, I have noticed that the Pacers are one of the best TTM signing teams in the NBA.


Dick Anderson
C/O Home in 365 days and signed 2/4
Cool success from the captain of the "no name defense" and defensive player of the year in 1974. He has been a great signer for awhile now and usually returns his mail much quicker from what I have seen. Still these are great additions to my 2005 Topps All-American set and also 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set respectively.


Aaron Dobson
C/O New England Patriots in 199 days and signed 2/2
Awesome success from the Patriots rookie wide reciever. He struggled with drops at the beginning of the year but has improved steadily over the course of the season and is now a reliable weapon for Brady going into the playoffs. I really like the look of the bowman cards and with the white borders look really nice signed. I hope that he can continue to improve and be the #1 WR in New England for many years to come.



Also got an RTS from Addison Reed(traded) and Peyton Manning(returned cards unsigned)

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 10 2014, 12:48 AM

Got a chance to update with 5 successes!

Matt Harrison C/O Texas Rangers in 172 days and signed 1/1
Very nice success from the Ranger pitcher. I think he is one of the more underrated Starters in the league and dosent get the respect he really deserves. He unfortunatly was dealing with a lot of injuries last season and got shut down for the year after 2 starts. He had a great 2012 season going 18-11 with a 3.29 ERA and made the AL All-Star team that year. He was cool enough to inscribe 2012 All-Star on my card which I asked for in my letter and he was nice enough to do that for me. This is a great add to my 2013 Topps set which I am going to send a bunch more out for spring training this year.



Mike Brown
C/O The Embracing Project in 15 days and signed 1/2 and signed index card
This is a nice success for my 1990-91 fleer set and historically he dosent have a great success rate so when I saw a recent return from him I sent to him right away. He was an underrated player during his prime and played for those great Jazz Teams with Stockton and Malone. He also played a lot of games overseas in Italy and Spain. The Embracing Project is also a great non-for organazation that promotes peace around the world and build unity among young people that have suffered from violence.


Maurice Cheeks
C/O Detroit Pistons in 27 days and signed 2/2
Cool success from the Pistons Head Coach. Again, Cheeks is a very underrated player who ranks 5th all-time in steals and 11th all-time in assists. When he retired he was the all-time leader in steals and 5th in assists. One of the best defensive point gaurds to play the game, he has had a decent coaching career in the NBA. One of the things I remember about Cheeks was the time that he helped that girl sing the National Anthem when she stumbled with the words and got her back on track. I just think that was a great moment showing how great of a person Cheeks is and made this success that much better. This is also a great add to my 1990-91 fleer success.


Luke Rockhold
C/O AKA in 11 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from the former strikeforce champion. Unfortunatly, he got caught with a nice spinning back kick and got knocked out by Vitor Belfort in his first fight in the UFC and I hope he can rebound in his next fight against Constantinos Philippou at UFC Fight Night 35. He was nice enough to inscribe "Happy Holidays on the 4x6 photo and SF(Strikeforce) champ on on one of the finest cards. Very nice success from one of the better up and coming fighters in the UFC.


Joseph Benavidez
C/O Ultimate Fitness in 288 days and signed 4/4
Awesome success from one of my favorite fighter in the UFC. I dodnt think I was going to get this one back since he is usually a quick turnaround and I though these got lost in the mail. Was very happy to get them back and even happier when he added the "joe b-wan kenobi" inscriptions on 2 of the cards which looks awesome. I hope he can rebound after his ko loss against Demetrious Johnson and can win his next fight.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 14 2014, 08:33 AM

Got 2 successes in recently...

Artie Lange
C/O Home in 8 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from the former Howard Stern sidekick and very funny comedian. Say what you wany about his drug addictions and other problems, but you can deny that Mr. Lange is a very funny guy and I think is a genuinely good hearted person. It seems like he has turned around his life and is now hosting a show and just published a book. I have always enjoyed enjoyed watching him on the Howard Stern show as well as his comedy. I really like the look of the Allen and Ginter cards and they came out great with the return.


Tyron Woodley
C/O ATT in 6 days and signed 5/5
Awesome success from one of my favorite fighters. This is my quickest return to date and also one of my favorites. I put my twitter handle on the letter of request knowing that Mr. Woodley is a frequent user of twitter and we are now following each other on twitter and he sent me a direct message saying he is going to send me a walk out shirt which is awesome and he obviously dosent have to do that. He his a big fight coming up against Carlos Condit at UFC 171 and whoever wins that fight should be the #1 contender for the welterweight championship. This is arguably one of my favorite returns and I am now even more of a fan of Mr. Woodley.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 18 2014, 12:46 AM

Couple of returns I have gotten in....

Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues
C/O Home in 231 days and signed 2/2
Very nice success from the shortest player ever to play in the NBA at 5'3. He also had an appearance in the movie Space Jam which is pretty cool. This return took awhile but Im very glad to get it back, it looks really nice with the blue sharpie and is a great add to my 1990 fleer set.


Peyton Manning
Returned my card unsigned C/O Denver Broncos in 11 days. I am now 0-5 sending to Mr. Manning TTM and its frustrating seeing returns and one of the downsides of TTMing.


Rich Franklin
C/O Home in 33 days and signed 2/3
Very nice success from one of the best UFC fighters of all-time. I didnt send the Round 4 gold card and it ended up coming up creased, but still a nice success nonetheless. He was nice enough to include a bible verse inscription which he didnt have to do.


RA Dickey
C/O Home in 12 days and signed 4/4
Awesome success from one of the best pitchers in baseball and one of the few knuckleball pitchers in the league. Someone on another site was nice enough to provide the home address and it worked with a very quick success. He wrote a not back with something along the lines of dont send any more things to his home so I dont think I should give out this address. This is a great add to my 2013 Topps set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 18 2014, 07:10 PM

Got in 4 successes today...

Chris Parmelee
C/O Minnesota Twins in 183 days and signed 2/2
Very nice success from the Twins utility man. I got the chance to see him play in Beloit with the Snappers where he was really fun to watch. He had an ok season last year hitting 8 HR's with a .228 avg. He should have more of a role at 1st base this coming season with Justin Morneau out of the picture. This is a very nice addition to my 2013 Topps set(By the way if anyone has any 2013 Topps cards signed I would be interested in buying or trading for them if anyone has any).


Gray Maynard
C/O AKA in 47 days and signed 6/6
This is my 2nd return from Mr. Maynard and I dont think I will be bothering him again for awhile after getting this request back. He is one of the best signers in the UFC and I really appreciate him taking the time to sign. He unfortunately lost his last fight againt Nate Diaz and I hope he can rebound with a win in his next fight. I really like getting these 4x6 poster signed and this one is going out Brian Ebersole next.


Tim Kennedy
C/O TKO Fan Mail in 12 days and signed 6/6
Very nice and quick return from a great UFC fighter as well as true American Hero. He served with the Army and had a decorated military career, I highly respect anyone that serves and protects our country and I have been a big fan of Mr. Kennedy for awhile. He was nice enough to sign to all of my items and used a pen that looks really nice on the cards as well as the photo. This is one of my favorite successes. Mr. Kennedy is also really funny on twitter if anyone wants to follow him.


Fabricio Werdum
C/O Werdum Combat Sport in 19 days and signed 5/5
Awesome success from one of the best Heavyweights in the UFC. He has a big fight coming up against Travis Browne to possibly face Cain Velasquez for the Heavyweight championship. One thing that can be said about these UFC fighters is that they know what kind of pens will look good when they sign and they really do. The gold pen really looks nice on these cards as well as the photo. I really like getting these jumbo relics signed and if anyone has any please let me know. Really glad to get this request back as he will likely be a champion one day.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 22 2014, 05:45 PM

Got 3 successes in today...

Tim Harris
C/O Home in 12 days and signed 2/2
I always love getting the Packers successes in and I am starting to send more out. Mr. Harris was a very underrated LB who was unfortunately on some pretty bad Packers teams in the 80's. He had a big part in turning the Packers team around with 19.5 sacks in 1989 and making the prow bowl that year. He did win a super bowl with the 49ers in 1995. I like getting these Packers successes in from players who played in the 80's who maybe a lot of people dont know a lot about. I hope to get more of these types of successes in the future.


Jeff Francoeur
C/O Home in 39 days and signed 2/2
Very nice success from a player I really enjoyed watching with the Braves. He unfortunately he had some injuries and regressed from his time with the Braves. He had one of the strongest outfield arms I have ever seen and very rarely would someone test his arm strength. He signed a minor league deal with the Indians Jan. 6th and I hope he can make the Major league team and have success. I was suprised to see him sign in red but it actually looks pretty good and this is a very nice success for my 2013 Topps set from a player who historically dosent have a real good retun rate.


John Howard
C/O Wai Kru MMA in 15 days and signed 3/6
Cool success from John "Doomsday" Howard, he is a fighter I have enjoyed watching for a while and I hope for continued success going forward. He won his last fight at UFC 168 and I hope he can win his next fight in the future. He was nice enough to inscribe "Here comes the doom" on the photo which is a little tough to see with the black sharpie, never the less its a very cool success from an up and coming fighter in the middleweight division.

Posted by: VSGSavedMe Jan 22 2014, 06:23 PM

Cool Thread bro!

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 25 2014, 07:06 PM

Got 3 successes in today...

Jared Abbrederis
C/O Home in 29 days and signed 3/3
Thanks so much to the member on here that gave me the address for Mr. Abbrederis. I really enjoyed watching him play at Wisconsin and I hope he gets drafted by the Packers in the draft, he reminds me alittle but of Jordy Nelson. He was really doing well in the senior bowl practices until he tweaked his hamstring and had to drop out of the game. He might have worked his way to a 2nd round pick in this Aprils draft. Really glad I got him back as I think he will be a good player in the NFL.


Aleksander Barkov
C/O Florida Panthers in 29 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from the 2nd overall pick in the 2013 NHL draft and one of the leagues better up and coming players. He has had a pretty good year with 8 goals and 16 assists. He should continue to get better as he will get a lot of playing time in Florida. Im glad to get this one back as I think he wil;l be one of the best players in the NHL one day.


Jacob Hager AKA Jack Swagger
C/O Home in 9 days and signed 2/2
One of my rare WWE successes, not many of these wrestlers sign TTM and whenver they do I try to send to them as soon as possible. I have enjoed watching this guy wrestle for a while now and think he along with Antonio Cesaro(Who I also enjoy watching) will one will win the tag team titles soon. If anyone knows of any other WWE superstars that sign TTM please let me know as I would like to add some more to my collection.

Posted by: GBforce12 Feb 2 2014, 06:25 PM

Got in 7 successes recently...

James Lofton
C/O Home in 18 days and signed 1/1
This is my 2nd return from Mr. Lofton. I really wanted the team leaders card signed so that I could possibly get more signed on the card. Im sorry but I don't have a pic at the moment because my phone is acting up with uploading pictures.

Max Holloway
C/O Gracie Technies in 35 days and signed 2/2
Again I have been having problems with my phone so I don't have a pic of this success. I do have pics of the rest. This is a very nice success from one of the up and coming featherweight fighters. He unfortunately lost against probably the best up and coming fighter in Conor McGregor, but he rebounded nicely with a knockout of the night victory of Wil Chope. He was nice enough to inscribe "Blessed" on both of the items which if really cool.

Tod Murphy
C/O Gordon College Men's Basketball in 12 days and signed 2/2
This is a very nice add to my 1990-91 fleer set (Which by the way if anyone has any FT or FS please let me know). I always like getting these lesser name players who a lot of people might not know a lot about but he was a very underrated and a pretty good player in his prime.


Deron Williams
C/O Email in 19 days and signed 1/0
A very rare Email success from one of the best PG's in the NBA. Whenever I can get an active player by just sending an email I will do It in a heartbeat. I was a fan of Mr. Williams ever since his playing days at Illinois and have enjoyed watching him play in the NBA. This is around a 4x6 and looks pretty cool in person, definitely worth the time it took sending a quick email.


Mike McCarthy
C/O Green Bay Packers in 51 days and signed 2/2
Awesome success from my favorite teams head coach. I seriously think McCarthy should have gotten consideration for coach of the year for the job he did without the 2 best players on the team (Rodgers, Matthews) for most of the year. I do wish I had an Allen and Ginter base I could have sent to him though.


Richard Christy
C/O Sirius Satellite Radio in 35 days and signed 2/2 and also signed an index card.
Another return from a member of the Howard Stern Show. Mr. Christy in my opinion is very funny and also an awesome guy from what I have heard and seen. I have always enjoyed the Howard Stern show and whenever I can get a success back it awesome. Now I just need to get Howard Stern if anyone knows if he signs TTM?


Dirk Nowitzki
C/O Dallas Mavericks in 24 days and signed 1/1
Awesome success from one of my favorite players in the NBA. I don't send 8x10's through the mail often so whenever I send one I want to make sure I get it back. I really liked the look of the 8x10 and when I saw it I knew I had to send it to Mr. Nowitzki to be signed. The only downside of this return is that it did get bent but it should be fixable. A very cool success nonetheless.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 8 2014, 08:58 PM

Here is the update(All these return dates are rough estimates)...

Sanya Richards-Ross
C/O Ashar Sports Management in 57 days and signed 2/2 and included a signed card.
Very nice success from the 4-time olympic gold medelist. She is arguably one of the better female track athletes of all-time, at least in recent memory. I really like getting these 2012 Topps Olympic cards signed, they always turn out really nice. She was also nice enough to include a signed postcard kind of thing with all of her accompishments which is awesome. I hope to get more of these olympic cards signed in the future.


Pat Neshek
C/O Home in 40 days and signeed 3/3 and included 4 signed cards!
What is there to say about the kind of guy Pat Neshek is when it comes to this hobby, he is simply the best! I included a couple of lower end signed cards and Mr. Neshek included 4 signed cards of himself. I hope that he can make it with the Cardinals as a reliver this season. This is a nice add to my 2013 Topps set from one of the best TTM signers in baseball.


Khris Davis
C/O Milwaukee Brewers in 236 days and signed 3/3
Nice success from the Brewers left field hopeful this season. He a pretty good season last year in limited work with 11 HR's with a .278 avg. He already has 1 HR this spring to go along with a .278 avg. He should be a good player in the future. This took a while but they all came back really nicely signed in gold pen. Very nice add to my 2011 Topps Heritage Minors set. I have read that he isnt real easy to get IP so the fact that I could get him TTM is awesome.


Joey Gallo
C/O Texas Rangers Spring training in 33 days and signed 2/2
I was really hoping to get this one back because I think Gallo is going to be a very good player for the Rangers in the future. He won the Joe Bauman Home Run Award for hitting the most HR's in a minor league season in 2013 with 40 HR's. He did that while still maintaining a respectable .251 avg. If he can produce those kind of power numbers while still having a decent avg he will be a very good-great player going forward. He was ranked the #60th best prospect after the 3013 season according to baseball america. I really like the look of these 2011 Topps USA cards and Im planning on sending the same card to Michael Wacha very soon.


Rafael Palmeiro
C/O Home in 42 days and signed 5/5
Awesome success from one of the best players in MLB history, steroids or not. He is a member of the 500 HR club and 3,000 hit club and is only the 4th player to be a member of both. He was also a very good defensive player winning the gold glove 3 times over his career. He most likely will never make the Hall of Fame but he was a very good-great player during his career. I was very happy to see that he signed all 5 cards and all of the turned out great. I would love to possibly get Tejada on the dual at some point.


Blue Edwards
C/O Home in 96 days and signed 2/2
Cool success from an underrated player in the NBA during his day, he is also a great TTM signer. Im making steady strides in this 1990-91 fleer set and hope to get more in the future


Mike Sanders
C/O Utah Jazz in 32 days and signed 2/2
Again like Edwards, Sanders was an underrated player during his career and has a had a long coaching career in th NBA. Another nice add to my 1990-91 fleer set and im starting to run out of people who still sign TTM well.


Ray McCallum Jr.
C/O Sacramento Kings in 57 days and signed 1/1 and signed 2 index cards
I really enjoyed watching Mccallum play at Detroit in college, he was the Horizon League player of the year in 2013 and ended up getting drafted by the Kings in the 2nd round. He has bounced between the D-League and the Kings multiple times this season and I hope he can stick with the Kings in the future. It was a suprise seeing one of these 13-14 rc's come back, I sent about 15 of them at the beginning of the season and have only gotten 2 back so far.


Ty Lawson
C/O Denver Nuggets in 503 days and signed 1/2
Awesome success from the Nuggets starting PG. I have enjoyed watching Lawson ever since his days at North Carolina. He has really had a solid season with 18 PPG and 9 assists this season. This one took awhile to get back and I have seen returns from Lawson where he signed on the back that was an obvious stamp, but I think this one is legit. Really happy about this return.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 8 2014, 09:00 PM

Paul Coffman
C/O Home in 40 days and signed 2/2
Whenever I can add signed Packer cards TTM Im happy. Coffman is still to this day one of the best TE's in Packers history. He was a 3-time pro bowl selection and was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1994. He was nice enough to inscribe a different bible verse on each of the cards. This is anice add to my Packers collection.


Micah Hyde
C/O Green Bay Packers in 71 days and signed 2/2
Awesome unexpected success from an up and coming Packers DB. I havent seen anyone else get Hyde back TTM so Im extremely happy to get these photos back. I wish he had cards I could have sent but dosent have any out right now. He should be a big contributer at CB for the Packers next season and might even move to safety. He should also be the starting PR next season as well. I sent out to a couple of other young Packer players and I hope I can get those in sometime in the future.


Charlie Ward
C/O Westbury Christian High School in 250 days and signed 2/2
a rare 2005 Topps All-American return. Im very happy to get this one back. He was one of the rare players to play all three sports(football, basketaball, baseball) at either the college or pro level. He is considered one of the best all-around athletes of in the last quarter century. I have kind of hit a wall in the 2005 Topps All-American set, alot of the players in the set either require a fee or dont sign at all.


Roland James
C/O Home in 51 days and signed 3/3 and included 2 signed 8x10's!
This is one of my favorite successes. My Mom grew up in Boston so I do follow the Patriots to some extent so I was so excited when he used his own postage and included 2 signed 8X10's with cool inscripitions. He really didnt have to do that and they are greatly appreciated! Another great add to my 2005 Topps All-American set, he was nice enough to inscribe "All-American 1979" on the cards and different inscripitions on the 4x6 photo and 2 8x10's. I wish all players were this cool and Mr. James is a class act.



JJ Watt
C/O Home in 236 days and signed 2/3
Awesome success from in my opinion the best defensive player in the NFL. I was a HUGE fan of Watt when he was at Wisconsin and actually sent to him before he really blew up in popularity. One thing that was kind of disappointing was that he has shortened his autograph, but still a very nice success regardless. I really like the look of the photo, it is perfect for getting and signed and looks really nice. Im really glad to finally get Watt on a card.


Andre Reed
C/O Home in 45 days and signed 4/4
One of the best recievers of the 90's and was largely overshadowed over the span of his career. He finally got inducted into the Hall of Fame this year and I think it was about time he got in. I was very happy to see that he signed all 4 cards and they all look great in blue sharpie. I might end up getting one or two of them certified in the future.


Jerry Rice!
C/O ESPN in 84 days and signed 1/2
One of my best successes to date. One thing I thought was interesting was that I sent both a Raiders card and 49ers card and I had the 49ers card in front of the Raiders card and he decided to sign the Raiders card. The Fleer Tradition cards look great signed though, and Im super excited to get this back. nothing needs to be said about Rice's NFL career, he is the GOAT at WR. I might send an 8x10 in the future.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 8 2014, 09:02 PM

Dany Heatley
C/O Minnesota Wild in 277 days and signed 2/2
Cool success from one of the better wingers in the NHL. He has had abit of an interesting career on and of the ice. He won the calder cup as the best rookie in the NHL in 2002 and has a decorated international career. This is a very nice add to my 11-12 UD set.


Steve Mason
C/O Flyers Skate Zone in 43 days and signed 4/5
Very cool success from the Flyers Goalie. I enjoyed watching Mason play in Columbus and happy to see that he is having success in Philadelphia. I really like the look of the All-Goalies set and they look really nice signed. It was interesting that he put number 35 on the cards in which he was pictured wearing number 1. You dont see that much TTM as opposed to IP where the player put his current number where he is wearing the old number. Stilla very nice success and if anyone happens to have a 11-12 UD Mason signed I would be willing to trade any of them for that one.


Joe Thornton
C/O San Jose Sharks in 616 days and signed 1/1
This is one of my longest returns to date, but also one of my favorites. Im a big fan of Big Joe and would like to see him win a Stanley Cup with the Sharks in the future. I really like the way Thornton plays, using his size to his advantage. He is still one of the best centers in the NHL and looks like he will keep it up for a couple of more years going forward. Another great 11-12 UD add to my set.


Alexander Semin
C/O Carolina Hurricanes in 60 days and signed 4/4
Nice success from the Hurricanes Right Winger. I really enjoyed watching him play in Washington with Ovechkin with the Russian Connection. Semin is alot of fun to watch when he plays hard and motivated. He signed all 4 cards really nicely in blue sharpie. Again a really nice add to my 11-12 UD set, I have really been moving along nicely with that set and hope to get more in the future.


Tomas Hertl
C/O San Jose Sharks in 71 days and signed 2/2
Awesome success from the exciting Sharks rookie. Unfortunatly, he got hurt and will be out for awhile, but I hope he can make a full recovery and continue to have success in the NHL. His popularity blew up when he had his 4 goal game vs the Rangers in which he became the youngest player to do that in NHL history. I really like the look of the photo on the left in which it pictures his 4 goal game.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 8 2014, 09:02 PM

Eddie Wineland
C/O Home in 42 days and signed 5/5
very cool success from the #4 ranked Bantamweight in the UFC and could be a contender for the championship in the future. He won his last fight against Yves Jabouin via TKO and I hope he can continue this trend going forward.


Mike Pyle
C/O Syndicate MMA in 33 days and signed 5/5
Cool success from the #15 ranked Welterweight in the UFC and should be moving up the rankings. He won his last fight against decent opponent in TJ Waldburger.


Mark Munoz
C/O Reign Training Center in 61 days and signed 7/7
Very nice success from the #7 ranked Middleweight fighter in the UFC. I really enjoy Munoz's style inside the octagon, he is a great wrestler. Unfortunatly, he pretty much got dominated by Machida in his last fight but I hope he can rebound and win his next fight.


John Dodson
C/O Jackson's MMA in 56 days and signed 3/4
Very cool success from the #3 ranked Flyweight in the UFC and contender for the Title. I really enjoy watching Dodson fight and I hope he can get a rematch against Mighty Mouse in the future. He did win his last fight against Darrell Montague and I hope he wins his next fight going forward. He was nice enough to incribe "Magician" which looks awesome on the cards as well as the photo.


Carlos Condit
C/O Gym in 222 days and signed 3/3
Awesome success from the #2 ranked Welterweight in the UFC. He has a big fight coming up against Tyron Woodley and whoever wins that fight should get a shot at the title. Condit is one of my favorite fghters and I would love to see him with the title someday. I was suprised to see that these were not personalized considering he usually does. I am going to be sending to him soon to get a card for my Octagon Side set signed.


Johny Hendricks
C/O Team Take Down in 84 days and signed 4/4
Finally got Hendricks back, I have sent to him on 3 different occasions and finally got him back. Hendricks is the #1 ranked Welterweight in the UFC and has a fight against Robbie Lawler for the title. He was nice enough to inscribe "Bigg Rigg" on all 4 cards and signed the relic perfectly in silver. One of my favorite UFC returns to date.


Alistair Overeem
C/O Via Venue in 43 days and signed 3/3
A rare Via Venue success from one of the tougher guys to get TTM. He actually posted a picture on twitter saying he was signing his fanmail and was holding my letter in the picture. He signed the mat relic perfectly with gold sharpie and actually used his sull signature instead of Reem that he signed on the photos. Very happy to get this back, but I wish I would have had just base 13 Finest to send to him at the time.


Anthony Pettis
C/O Gym in 57 days and signed 2/2
Awesome success from the UFC Lightweight champion. One of my favorite fighters and I hope he can hold the title for the foreseable future. This is also a rare 8X10 return and looks great. He was nice enough to inscribe both items with his nickname "showtime" and looks awesome. If there is anyway I could get Benson Henderson on this to finish it off that would be great.Im sorry for the blurry picture, I will retake a picture when I get a chance.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 11 2014, 05:05 PM

2 successes in the past couple of days...

Ben Zobrist
C/O Tampa Bay Rays in 214 days and signed 1/1 and included a signed testimonial card
Very nice success from one of the most underrated players in the MLB. He can literally play every position besides catcher and pitcher at high level. He is a 2 time all-star and should make more in the next couple of years. This is a great add to my 2013 Topps set and I was really excited that he added his nickname "Zorilla" on the 2013 Topps card. It was also really cool that he included a signed testimonial card. This is just a very nice overall success!


Clayton Kershaw!
C/O Los Angeles Dodgers ST in 36 days and signed 2/2
One of my favorite as well as best successes to date. I know Kershaw has been a great signer but its still awesome that arguably the best pitcher in the MLB signs TTM. I was very excited that he signed both cards as I was expecting that he would only sign 1. I knocked out both cards of Kershaw in the 2013 Topps set with 1 TTM which is great!

Posted by: GBforce12 Apr 5 2014, 06:02 PM

With UConn playing today I thought I would bump this thread up with an old TTM success of one of the best players left in the tournament.

Shabazz Napier

Posted by: GBforce12 Apr 12 2014, 09:08 PM

Got a chance to update with 10 successes....

Jordyn Wieber
C/O Home in 95 days and signed 2/2
A rare 2012 Topps Olympic set addition. Always cool to get an olympian in my collection, especially a member of the iconic Fab 5 of the 2012 olympic gymnastics team. She was nice enough to inscribe both of the cards which look really nice. I hope that I can get more 2012 Topps Olympic cards in the future.


Daisuke Matsuzaka
C/O Mets Spring Training in 33 days and signed 2/2
Very nice addition to my 2013 Topps set. I was very happy to see that he was signing as I have heard he has been pretty hard to get in the past. he obviously had a ridiculous amount of hype coming to the US and played pretty well in Boston for a couple of years, but really didnt live up to the expectations. These are still very nice additions to my set and probably the only time I would be able to get him TTM.


Ed McCaffrey
C/O Pro Link Sports 80 days and signed 2/3
Really happy with this success as I think McCaffrey is one of the more underrated WR's and dosent really get the recognition he deserves. He had a pretty long successful career and won 3 super bowls over the span of his career with the Broncos. The cards look really nice signed and he has a pretty cool autograph.


Jerry Rice
C/O ESPN in 35 days and signed 1/1
My second success from the greatest WR of all time. I wanted to get a card signed of him in his 49ers uniform and I am super pumped to get this one back! It looks great and I might get this one authenticated in the future.


CB Dollaway
C/O Power MMA & Fitness in 95 days and signed 4/6
Cool success from a fighter that I have enjoyed watching for a long time and I am happy to get these back signed. He won his last fight against Cezar Ferreira in dominating fashion with a KO victory in 39 seconds. I really like the look of his autograph and they look really nice signed in silver.


Glover Teixeira
C/O Gym in 36 days and signed 1/2
Very nice success from one of the up and coming Light Heavyweight fighters in the UFC. He has a Huge fight coming up against Jon Jones at UFC 172 for the title. Im working on this Octagon Side insert set, it has a lot of fighters that sign TTM and this is a great addition to that set.


Hector Lombard
C/O ATT in 38 days and signed 3/3
Cool success from the #6 ranked light heavyweight in the UFC. He had a pretty dominant win against Jake Shields and should get a shot at the title in the near future. He signed these beautifully in blue sharpie, I have seen some of his autographs not look that nice and all of these look awesome! another great addition to my Octagon Side set.


Dominick Cruz
These are two seperate returns, one took 119 days and the other took 33 days. He was nice enough to sign everything I sent both times.
These are two great successes from a great lightweight fighter. I hope that he can one day make a return to the octagon and get his title back, The poster is also signed by Urijah Faber and its going out to Ryan Bader soon. Again this is a great addition to my Octagon Side set.



Ronda Rousey
C/O Glendale Fighting Club in 280 days and signed 1/2
Awesome success from one of the biggest athletes in sports today! Extremely happy to get this back! The photo looks great signed in blue and signed in a perfect spot. Im sending to her again for my Octagon Side set soon so I hope I can get that back as well!

Posted by: GBforce12 Apr 14 2014, 04:00 PM

Got 6 successes in today...

Matt Hardy
C/O Home in 70 days and signed 1/1
Very cool success from one half of arguably the best tag team in wrestling history in the Hardy Boyz. I enjoyed watching Hardy wrestle and his feud against Edge in the mid 2000's as well as his feud against MVP. He was always an underrated wrestler and never really got the recognition he deserved. I wish I had a better card of him to send but this is all I had at the time. I always like getting the WWE successes back but unfortunately alot of them really dont sign TTM.


Bryan Shaw
C/O Indians in 245 days and signed 4/4
This was an unexpected return as it took a long time to get back to me. Shaw was involved in the Didi Gregourious trade and should be a valuable reliever in Cleveland. This is a nice 2013 Topps set addition and he was nice enough to inscribe GO TRIBE on 2 of the bowman rookies which is very cool, I always appreciate the inscriptions.


Gordon Beckham
C/O Chicago White Sox Spring Training in 75 days and signed 1/1
Awesome success from the White Sox 2B. As a White Sox fan I always like getting these back. This is a rare Spring Training return, I have had a pretty back success rate from spring training. I have always enjoyed watching Beckham play, but unfortunately he got hurt and will be out about 6-8 weeks. Another nice 2013 Topps set addition which is getting added to every day it seems.


Enes Kanter
C/O Utah Jazz in 35 days and signed 3/3
Very cool success from the young Jazz center. He was drafted 3rd overall in the 2011 NBA draft and has been steadily improving every year. Unfortunately, he used a dried up sharpie that dosent look to bad on the prestige rookies but you really can barely see them on the hoops. I hope that he can continue to get better and eventually make an all-star team or two in the future.


Jordan Staal
C/O Carolina Hurricanes in 168 days and signed 5/5
Nice success from LW in the NHL. I have enjoyed watching Staal play for awhile now, I do wish that Staal would have stayed in Pittsburgh but I can see why he wanted to play in Carolina with his 2 brothers. This is a very nice success for my 11-12 UD set which I havent had in awhile.


Rashad Evans
C/O Authentic Sports Management in 35 days and signed 2/2
Finally, after sending to Evans on 3 seperate occasions I got him on 2 cards which looks awesome. I have enjoyed watching Evans fight ever since his KO victory against Chuck Liddell in 2008. Its a shame he got hurt just 10 days before his fight against Daniel Cormier as i think that would have been a great fight to watch. I hope that he can make a succesful return to the octagon and eventually get a shot at the Light Heavyweight title. This is a great addition to my Octagon Side set and looks awesome in the gold pen.


By the way I have started using CamScanner to take pictures of my successes. I think the app is really cool and I think they do look better. Let me know what you think about CamScanner and about any of my successes in general.

Posted by: GBforce12 Apr 18 2014, 08:35 PM

A little bit of dry spell lately but had one great success today!

Joe Montana!
C/O San Francisco 49ers in 40 days and signed 2/2
I really hope these are legit because if they are it's one of the best successes I have gotten to date. Obviously there isn't much I can say about Joe Montana that everyone dosent know, he is arguably the greatest QB of all time and I'm super excited to get these back! This is an awesome success for my 2005 Topps All-American set and like I said one of the best TTM successes I have ever gotten if they are indeed legit.

Posted by: GBforce12 Apr 19 2014, 04:52 PM

1 success today...

Matt Serra
C/O Home in 102 days and signed 4/6
Very nice success from the now retired UFC fighter. He fought for a long time and fought a lot of the legends of the sport. He had in my opinion the greatest upset of all time when he knocked out Georges St-Pierre in the 1st round at UFC 169. The gold pen he used looks really nice on all of the things he signed.

Posted by: GBforce12 Apr 22 2014, 06:48 PM

Rick Story
C/O Brave Legion MMA in 114 days and signed 6/7
Nice success from the UFC Welterweight Rick "The Horror" Story. He has been having alittle bit of an up and down career in the UFC. He unfortunately lost his last fight against TUF winner Kevin Gastelum. I hope he can rebound and win his next fight. He was nice enough to sign 6 things for me in a nice silver sharpie and nicely inscribed his nickname on all off them. I needed the Moment of Truth for my set.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 16 2014, 06:48 PM

A couple of Email successes from 2 college coaches that I got awhile back that I never got around to putting on here...

Les Miles
C/O Email in 44 days and sent a signed 8x10
Always cool to get an AP college coach of the year award winner through the mail for free. The photo is very nice and he signed it nicely in silver and added GEAUX Tigers which is really nice.


Shaka Smart
C/O Email in 42 days and sent a signed magazine
Awesome return from one of my favorite coaches in college basketball. I always like watching that VCU team play, and I still wish that Smart would have taken the job at the University of Illinois as an Illini fan. It was very nice of them to send a signed magazine and they had to pay around $3 postage to get it to me which I really appreciate!

Posted by: GBforce12 May 23 2014, 06:04 PM

Finally get to update with 22 successes(These return days are rough estimates)...

Colby Lewis
C/O Texas Rangers in 122 days and signed 1/2
very nice success from the veteran Starting Pitcher. He has a long career playing both both in Japan and in America. He has had a bit of a down year going 3-3 with a 5.40 ERA and bouncing between triple-A and the Majors. This is a very nice addtion to my 2013 Topps set as well as the blowout TTM league.


Nate Jones
C/O Chicago White Sox in 31 days and signed 3/3
Cool success from a relief pitcher of my favorite team. Unfortuntely, he got hurt and had to be placed on the 60 day DL. I hope that he can make a successful comeback and be a valuable part of the bullpen rotation going forward. This is a nice add to my 2013 Topps set as well as the blowout TTM Challenge.


Conor Gillaspie
C/O Chicago White Sox in 30 days and signed 2/2
I really enjoy watching Mr. Gillaspie play and was really excited to get him back. He always plays hard and plays the game the right way. He has had a really good season with a .347 AVG. He has locked down the 3B spot as well with great defensive play. Another nice add to my 2013 Topps set as well as the blowout TTM Challenge.


Rony Sikaly
C/O His DJ Buisness in 36 days and signed 1/2
One of those guys that you need to complete a set. He was really underrated and one of the Miami Heats first great players. He also won a gold medal in 1986. Terrible autograph but what can you do. I needed him for my 1990 Fleer set.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 23 2014, 06:05 PM

Chuck Long
C/O Home in 38 days and signed 2/2
Very nice success from the 1999 College Football Hall of Fame inductee. He had a great college career at Iowa winning multiple awards and also being inducted into the Iowa Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. Unfortunately, he didnt succeed as much in the NFL as he did in college. This is a nice add to my 2005 Topps All-American set.


Paul Hornung
C/O Hornung's Sports Showcase in 42 days and signed 1/1
I was very excited to get this one back. I love getting the Packer returns and he is one of the best of all-time. He sometimes does require a fee but I was happy to see taht he signed one for me for free. He is one of the most decorated football players of all-time both college and NFL. The autograph did get smudged alittle but but not to bad. This is an awesome addition to my 2005 Topps All-American set which I was in a bit of a drought getting them back but was happy to get a couple back.


Herb Adderly
C/O Home in 31 days and signed 1/1
Another great Packers success and Pro Football Hall of Member. I always love getting these old Packers players TTM and getting 2 of the best is awesome. He is another guy that sometimes requires a fee and him signing a card for me for free was greatly appreciated! I really like this 1990 pro set Packers set but a lot of the guys in these dont sign for free if at all otherwise I would have considered doing the set.


Bruce Irvin
C/O Seattle Seahawks in 349 days and signed 2/2
Did not expect to get this one back. Really happy I did though as I enjoy watching him play and he is a great pass rusher when he is on the field. I actually got him while he was at West Virginia but I wanted him on a couple of cards and Im happy to see that he still signs. The signatures didnt turn out great but Im just happy to get them back signed at all.


Blake Bortles
C/O Home in 25 days and signed 1/1
Awesome success from in my opinion the best QB in the 2014 draft class. I was really happy to see him go #3 to Jacksonville and happy that they drafted WR's to put around him. I got these after the draft so I didnt know if he would still sign and happy that he did. I really the look of the 2014 UD card and this card look really nice signed. Great return from a player with a whole lot of potential in the NFL.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 23 2014, 06:06 PM

Paul Stastny
C/O Colorado Avalanche in 172 days and signed 1/5
Cool success from a player that I have enjoyed watching for awhile now. He had a very good 13-14 season with 25 goals and 35 assists. Colorado is a team on the rise and Stastny should play a big part of that going forward. This is very nice addition to my 11-12 UD set.


Rick Middleton
C/O Hom in 14 days and signed 1/1
The first of hopefully many of the new set that im working on, the 2001 Great of the Game hockey set. The cards look great signed. Middleton was a great player for Boston in his day winning the Lady Byng Trophy along with 51 goals in the 81-82 season aslo making 3 NHL All-Star teams.


Rick MacLeish
C/O Home in 30 days and signed 1/1 and signed an index card
One of the best players in Flyers history. He had a decorated career winning 2 stanley cups and having an 100 point season in 72-72. Another great addition the 2001 Great of the Game set.


Larry Robinson
C/O San Jose Sharks in 35 days and signed 1/1
Very happy about this success, one of the best in NHL history. He had a great career in the NHL, he was inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in in 1998, he was ranked 24th out of the 100 greatest players in NHL history bu the Hockey news, and his jersey number 19 was retired in in 2007. I saw some people were getting there items returned unsigned recently so Im really happy that I was able to get him for my set.


Brad Park
C/O Boston Bruins Alumni in 38 days and signed 1/1 and signed 2 index cards
Great success from arguably the best defensemen to ever play the game, its either him or Bobby Orr. Another player that had an awesome NHL career, being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988 on the first ballot. His autograph looks awesome on these cards and I hope that I can get many more in the future.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 23 2014, 06:06 PM

Urijah Faber
C/O Home in 74 days and signed 3/4
This is my 3rd and probably last request to Faber for awhile. He is a great signer and his autograph always looks nice. Unfortunately, he lost his lost his last fight against Barao for the title. I hope that he can one day win the title, he is great fighter as well as a great person and deserves to win the title at least once in his career. A great add to my Octagon Side set, I also really like to look of the valor card as well.


Clay Guida
C/O Home in 74 days and signed 5/5
Like Faber, Guida is one of the best signers in the UFC. Anything you send to him he is nice enough to sign and again like Faber this will probably be my last request to him for awhile. His fight against Kawajiri was great and deserved to win Fight of the Night. I really like how he used the silver on the jumbo relic and it looks awesome and was also nice enough to inscribe The Carpenter on all of the cards which is appreciated. Another add to my Octagon Side set.


John Dodson
C/O Gym in 74 days and signed 3/3
Cool success from the flyweight title contender. He is expected to fight John Moraga at UFC Fight Night for the #1 contender. I would like to see him fight Demetrious Johnson again for the title in the future. He was nice enough to inscribe The Magician on all of the cards which is appreciated. Another nice add to my Octagon Side set.


Liz Carmouche
C/O Gym in 60 days and signed 3/3
First time getting her autograph TTM. I respect anyone that represents out country in the military and being able to do that and then transition to being an MMA fighter is remarkable. Unfortunately, she lost her last fight against Miesha Tate and I hope she can rebound and win her next fight. She was nice enough to inscribe "Girl-Rilla" on the photo which is really cool. That photo will be going out to Demetrious Johnson soon because of some reason I can seem to get him on the octagon side set. Happy to get the bloodlines base back from Liz Carmouche as I dont think I had any signed up until this point.


Donald Cerrone
C/O Gym in 172 days and signed 5/5
Finally got a return from Mr. Cerrone after 3 attemps. I have enjoyed watching him fight for awhile now and really excited to finally get him back. He wrote on the back of the return envelope sorry for the delay which is cool of him. The silver sharpie he used on the cards look awesome! His last submission victory against Edson Barboza was very nice and his next fight against Jim Miller should be fun to watch.


Cub Swanson
C/O Jackson's MMA in 75 days and signed 2/2
One of my favorite fighters right now, has a ton of potential and will be a champion one day. His last TKO victory was great against Dennis Siver and deserved to win Fight of the Night. He was nice enough to write a nice note which whenever any athlete does that it makes me even more of a fan. This is an awesome add to me octagon side set and even inscribed "Beautiful Destruction" which is awesome. He must have not liked how it looked in silver so he re signed it in black.


Ronda Rousey
C/O Glendale Fighting Club in 41 days and signed 1/1
My second return from her and it didnt take nearly as long. I might send to her one more time to get a 2013 finest signed. Im looking forward to here next fight against Alexis Davis at UFC 175. I really dont think Davis is ready for this caliber of fight but we will see. As mentioned on my other Rousey success someone else personalizes the cards before she signs them and she is a strict 1 per request. Another awesome Octagon Side card signed, this set is coming along nicely. Its only a 25 card set and I have 8 so far.


Vitor Belfort
C/O Gym in 172 days and signed 5/5
One of the more suprising returns I have gotten UFC wise in sometime. Didnt truly think I would get these back but just took a chance. The KO victory over Dan Henderson was awesome, and I know I didnt think he would knock him out. I wish he wouldnt have pulled out of the Weidman fight, that would have been so much fun to watch. I hope that he gets another titleshot sometime in the future. I needed him for my Moment of Truth set.


Ryan Bader
C/O Power MMA & Fitness in 31 days and signed 4/4
This is my 3rd and probably last request for a while. Im making solid progress on getting this poster signed as I only need 3 more fighter and two of them(Silva, Leben) are pretty good TTM signers. I really wish Bader wouldnt have used a dried up black sharpie to sign though as it dosent look as good as the silver. Still a nice success and this poster will probably be going out to wanderlei Silva next very soon.

1 success today...

Emeka Okafor
C/O Phoenix Suns in 42 days and signed 4/4
Very nice success from a player I have enjoyed watching for a long time, ever since his UCONN days. After a decorated college career he was drafted 2nd overall in the 2004 draft behind Dwight Howard. Injuries somewhat derailed what could have been a great NBA career, although he has had a lot of solid years nonetheless. He seems like a really cool guy and I would like to see him win a title at some point before his career is done.

1 success I got in yesterday but didn't get a chance to update this thread...

Charles Shackleford
C/O Home in 47 dated any signed 1/2
Cool success from a player that historically hasn't been a great TTM signer. He had a long career paying both in the US and in Europe and probably had more success playing overseas than he did in the NBA. Getting these type of players is fun because it gives you an opportunity to learn about some of these players that played in the 90's that you tend to not know a lot about. Nice addition to my 1990-91 Fleer set which is coming around nicely but it's getting tougher to get successes TTM.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 2 2014, 03:37 PM

1 success in today...

Ross Pearson
C/O Alliance Training Center in 41 days and signed 6/6
Very cool success from the Ultimate Fighter season 9 winner. He is one of my favorite fighters to watch and has a fight coming up against Diego Sanchez which should be a good fight. He was nice enough to sign all 6 things I sent to him and also inscribe his nickname "The Real Deal" which look really nice.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 7 2014, 05:00 PM

1 great UFC success...

Chuck Liddell
C/O Zinkin Entertainment in 439 days and signed 4/4
One of my favorite successes to date. He is one of my favorite fighters of all-time and I was extatic to get these back. If you are a fan of MMA in general you should of heard of "The Iceman" as he is one of the most iconic fighters in UFC history. In a Liddell fight you knew it was going to be exciting and someone was going to get knocked out. All 4 of the cards look great and he was nice enough to switch pens and even inscribe his "Iceman" nickname on the round 4 base which looks awesome. I was definetly not expecting to get these back after so long and probably my favorite UFC successes that I have gotten in.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 9 2014, 04:40 PM

3 successes in today...


Reggie Jackson
C/O Oklahoma City Thunder in 92 days and signed 4/4
A rare current NBA success and from one of the breakout players of this past season. He had a pretty good season averaging 13 points a game as well as 4 assists as Westbrook's backup. He established himself as one of the best 6th men in the league and there have been rumors that the Thunder are looking to trade Jackson because his contract is up after this season and it should be interesting to see if the Thunder decide to keep him or trade him(ALA James Harden). This is a rare 11-12 SP Authentic set addition which I haven't added to in a while and I'm happy these came out great.



Josh Thomson
C/O AKA in 291 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from a fighter that I really enjoy watching. I still to this day think he won his last fight against Benson Henderson and it's a shame that he broke his hand so early in the fight and it would have been interesting to see what the outcome would have been otherwise. He has a fight coming up against Michael Johnson at UFC on Fox 12 that should be a lot of fun. He is also a big Blackhawks fan which also contributes to me being a fan of his.


Chad Mendes
C/O Ultimate Fitness in 162 days and signed 7/7
Awesome success from "money" Mendes. Another success from a fighter I really enjoy watching and have for a long time now. He has a big fight coming up against Jose Aldo for the featherweight championship in what should be a great fight for the title. He was nice enough to sign all 7 things for me and even switch pens on the photo which is greatly appreciated.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 10 2014, 03:52 PM

1 success today...

Roberto Luongo
C/O Home in 11 days and signed 5/5
Very nice success from the former Canucks goalie and one Panthers goalie. He had a very decorated career in Vancouver but was often criticized for choking in clutch situations. He should help stabilize the Panthers goalie situation and I think the Panthers are one of the up and coming teams in the NHL. This is a rare 11-12 UD set addition from one or the leagues better goalies. His autograph isn't the nicest but you can't really complain when he signed all 5 cards and in only 11 days.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 12 2014, 03:29 PM

2 quick returns today...

Jerick McKinnon
C/O Minnesota Vikings in 13 days and signed 2/2
Very cool success and a rare 2014 NFL rookie return. He had an interesting college career at Georgia Southern where played both quarterback and rubbing back and notably beat Florida where he had 125 rushing yards and the game winning TD. He also had a great combine running a 4.37 40 and had 32 reps on the bench press which is very impressive considering he is only 5'9. He was drafted by the Vikings in the 3rd round and from what I have heard has looked good in OTA's. It will be interesting to see what he does as Adrian Peterson's back up and what kind of playing time he gets. I do wish he would have used a better pen as the one he used was kind of dried out but nonetheless a very cool return from an up and coming RB in the NFL.


Paul Hornung
C/O Hornung's Sports Showcase in 8 days and signed 2/2
Awesome success for my new set, the 1997 UD Legends set. I was very surprised to get these back so fast as he normally takes around a month to get back. This is my 2nd return from him and this time he sent a price list so I most likely won't be sending to him for awhile. I sent about 10-15 requests for the 1997 UD Legends set so I hope I can get more returns from that set going forward.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 13 2014, 03:12 PM

Another quick return today...

Joe Theismann
C/O Home in 9 days and signed 1/1
Another very nice and fast success for my new 1997 UD Legends set I'm doing. I had been meaning to send to him for awhile now and when I started this set it finally gave me a reason to do so. It's unfortunate that he is almost now more known for the major leg injury than he is for being a great NFL quarterback. The card looks great signed in blue and sent a price list giving prices for any additional items that you would want signed. I really like the look of this set signed, the photography they used is awesome and I hope that I can continue to get more of these in the future.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 16 2014, 04:45 PM

3 successes today...

Dan Fouts
C/O Home in 12 days and signed 2/2
This is my 2nd return from him and most likely my last. Like my first return from him it was very quick and he signed them very nicely in blue. Another very nice success for my 1997 UD legends set that I have started and it seems like I'm getting a return every day for that set. The gridiron kings cards also look very nice signed and remind me of the UD masterpieces cards. I was happy to get these back so quick and hope to have more additions to the 1997 UD Legends set soon.


Alfred Blue
C/O Houston Texans in 17 days and signed 1/1 as well as 2 index cards
Cool success from another '14 rookie. He was apart of a crowded backfield of LSU and because if that went on the 6th round to the Texans. From all accounts he has looked good in Texans OTA's and I hope he can get some carries spelling Arian Foster. It seems like he has been signing well from what I have seen so if your looking to get a '14 rookie I would suggest sending to him. He was also nice enough to sign 2 index cards which I also put into the request to protect the card and I'm happy whenever I can get them signed as well.


Brad Pickett
C/O ATT in 56 days and signed 4/4
Very nice success from the #11 Flyweight in the UFC. He is one of my favorite fighters to watch and always has exciting fights. He has a fight coming up against Ian McCall in July at UFC Fight Night 46 and if he can win that fight it should propel him into the top 10 on that division. This is also nice because it's my first 13 knockout success and looks really nice with the One Punch inscription which he was nice enough to inscribe on all of the cards.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 18 2014, 05:08 PM

2 successes today...

Koji Uehara
C/O Boston Red Sox in 23 days and signed 2/2
Awesome return from the Red Sox closer. He is having a great season already tallying 15 saves with 0.57 ERA. He is pretty much a shoe in as the closer for the AL All-Star team and possibly more accolades once this year is over. He also was the pitcher who recorded the last out for the Red Sox in their World Series clinching game last season. He is a very good signer TTM and I'm glad to be able to add him to my 2013 Topps set.


Bernie Federko
C/O Home in 9 days and signed 1/1 and also signed an index card.
Very cool success from arguably one of, if not the best players in Blues history. He had a decorated career in St. Louis where is number 24 is retired as well as being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002 which he nicely inscribed on the card as well as the index card. One thing I have noticed when working on this 2001 greats of the Game set is that a lot of retired/HOF hockey players are great TTM signers and Mr. Federko is no exception. This is a very nice addition to that set and I have sent out to a lot of players from that set so I hope that I can continue to get them in.

Got 5 successes in today!

Aubrey Huff
C/O Home in 24 days and signed 3/3
Awesome success from a player that I enjoyed watching for a long time, going back to his Devil Rays days. In my opinion he is one of the more underrated first basemen of the 2000's and is one of the best players in Devil Rays history. I was real happy when I saw that he inscribed 2012 2010 WS Champ it looks awesome on the the card. This is an awesome addition to my 2013 topps set!


Mike Rozier
C/O Home in 24 days and signed 2/2 and signed an index card
This is my 2nd return from him and one that includes a nice set addition. He really had an underrated career with the Oilers and had a great college career at Nebraska. He is a great TTM signer and usually returns them within a month. This 1997 UD Legends set is a great TTM set because it has a lot of guys that are good signers and sign fast!


Charlie Joiner
C/O Home in 19 days and signed 3/3
Another guy that I have had a success with in the past. If you are looking to add HOF signer TTM I would highly recommend sending to Joiner because he is one of the best. I was really happy with how the contender card looked and being /100 I was really hoping it would. Another 1997 UD set addition.


Lynn Dickey
C/O Home in 18 days and signed 2/2
When I was looking to do the 1997 UD Legends set this is one of the cards I wanted back the most. It's one of the coolest looking cards in the set with the snow and it's Packers football at its finest. Dickey was one of the more underrated players of the 80's and was unfortunately apart of some bad Packers teams that really hurt his career. I love getting yet old Packers returns like I say every time I get one in and this is no different, a great 1997 UD Legends set that I've really been pounding away at recently and I hope they keep coming in.


Rick Kehoe
C/O Home in 10 days and signed 1/1
A quick return from a Pittsburgh Penguins legend. A lot of people don't know about him, but he was a great goal scorer and is 4th in Penguins history. These cards look great signed with the white background and I haven't yet had one come back not looking clean and nice. I hope that these 2001 Greats of the Game cards keep coming back signed soon!

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 30 2014, 05:49 PM

5 successes that I have gotten in recently...

Eric Young Jr
C/O New York Mets in 13 days and signed 2/2
Cool return from the reigning National League stolen base champion. He is on his way to that total again this year, already tallying 21 stolen bases in 53 games. He has always been a good signer and I hope that he can continue to have success going forward. This is a nice addition to my 2013 Topps set.


Brad Ziegler
C/O Arizona Diamondbacks in 20 days and signed 2/2
One of the best TTM signers in baseball, up there with Pat Neshek. I get asked a lot who are some players that are good players to send too and Ziegler is one of them, as close to a lock or guarantee that there is. Ziegler is one of the better middle relief guys in the game and I would like to see him get a shot as closer at some point. Again, this is nice addition to my 2013 topps set and one that I should have gotten in a long time ago.


Bob Lilly
C/O Home in 10 days and signed 1/1
This is my 2nd return from Mr. Lilly and like my forts a very nice return. Mr. Lilly was nice enough to inscribe HOF 80 as well as Mr. Cowboy which he didn't have to do and i greatly appreciate it! He does sometimes require a fee, but I was glad to get this back without one. He is a must send too for any Cowboys fan as one of the best players in franchise history. This is a great addition to my 1997 UD set which is only going to get harder with the huge names in that set.


Bill Barber
C/O Home in 20 days and signed 1/1 and also signed 2 index cards
Very nice success from the 1990 Hall of Fame inductee and one of the better players in Flyers history. He played the game the right way and had a decorated career doing it. He was a 2 time Stanley Cup champion and 1998 Calder Cup campion among other accolades. This is a very nice addition to my 2001 Greats of the Game set which is coming along nicely.


Ken Hodge Sr
C/O Home in 12 days and signed 1/1
Another return for my 2001 Greats of the Game set! Mr. Hodge also had a very decorated career hence why he's in this set. He was a two tone Stanley Cup Champion with the Bruins and having a great career in Boston in the late 60's-early 70's. One thing I love about this set is that you get to learn about a lot of these players that maybe not a lot of people remember or have heard of. Most of these guys from that era are very good signers, and sign quickly as well. I love the way these look signed, especially in blue and I'm very happy to add this to the set.

Posted by: redwing40 Jun 30 2014, 08:44 PM

The Bill Barber's are cool, Congrats on the TTM success.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 8 2014, 08:10 PM

Got 4 returns in recently...

Adam Dunn
C/O Home in 30 days and signed 2/2
Awesome success from one of my favorite players in the MLB. I have always enjoyed watching him play and when he joined my favorite team, the White Sox I was really excited and have gotten the chance to see him play a lot and too this day I haven't seen anyone hit the ball as far him. Even though he will probably hit 500 HR's he most likely won't make the Hall of Fame because of his bad average and strikeout numbers. I do wigs he would have signed them in something besides a ball point pen but the don't look that bad and I'm just happy to get them back. This is a great addition to my 2013 Topps set!


Dan Pastorini
C/O Home in 43 days and signed 3/3
Very cool success from the QB from the Luv Ya Blue era in Houston. In my opinion he was one of the more underrated QB's of the 70's and didn't really get the recognition he deserved. When his career was over he transitioned to drag racing and still does to this day. This a nice addition to my 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set which I haven't added to in a long time.


Steve Shutt
C/O Cimco Refrigeration in 29 days and signed 1/1
Very nice return from one of the better wingers of the 70's. He scored 60 goals in 76-77 which was record that stood until 92-93. He was also a 5 time Stanley cup winner with the Canadians. He obviously had a decorated career and is one if the best players in Canadians history. This is a really nice addition to my 2001 Greats if the Game set which has been getting added to every day it seems.


Jon Fitch
C/O AKA Gym in 178 days and signed 8/8
Nice return from the former UFC welterweight and now is in the World Series of Fighting. In my opinion he didn't deserve to be released from the UFC after recording an 14-3-1 record and being ranked in the top 10 in the division. I did say in my letter he could keep however many cards he wanted and was gracious enough to sign everything I sent. I haven't had many UFC returns lately and I hope that will change soon!

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 14 2014, 05:15 PM

Got 5 successes in recently...

Steve Largent
C/O Home in 127 days and signed 1/3
Awesome return from the Seahawks legend and 1995 Hall of Fame inductee. Even though he did make the Hall of Fame he is still criminally underrated when being talked about as one if the best WRs of all-time. It was kind of unfortunate that he only signed 1 card and I might have to resend to him to get my 1997 UD legends card signed for my set.


Jordan Zimmermann
C/O Washington Nationals in 26 days and signed 1/1
I was very happy to get this one back as from what I have seen he has slowed down on signing. Another thing that I have noticed is that he has a tendency to switch cards from the ones that were originally sent. The silver pen he used looks really nice on the card. He was named to his first all-star team this year but choose not to play because of injury so I was really happy to add this too my 2013 Topps set.


Dustin Poirier
Cool return from an up and coming UFC fighter. He is already ranked #6 in the Featherweight division and should get a shot at the title in the bear future. I always like getting the notes back and it seems like he is a really cool guy and has a good head on his shoulders. He was also nice enough to inscribe "the diamond" which I requested in the letter and greatly appreciate. He doesn't have a fight coming up soon but I would love to see him fight McGregor or Lamas for #1 contender.


Donald Cerrone
C/O his gym in NM in a 568 days and signed 3/3
Definitely didn't think I was getting this one back as this is my 2nd return from him and the first I sent. I'm really happy to get it back though as I really enjoy watch Cerrone fight and he has a fight coming up against Jim Miller this Wednesday that should be a lot of fun to watch. He is #6 in the deep lightweight division and like Poirier could be coming up on a title fight within the next couple of years.


Stefan Struve
C/O Dynamix MMA in 31 days and signed 6/6
Very nice return from a fighter that I have enjoyed watching for awhile. Unfortunately, he had to drop out of his fight against Mitrione the night of the fight because of a heart condition. Who knows if he will fight again but he's only 26 so he might be able to fight again in the future. One thing that I obviously took note of when I first saw him fight was his size, he is 7 feet tall and currently the tallest fighter in the UFC. That size gives him a reach advantage in pretty much every fight he's in and it's just fun watching someone that talk fight in the octagon. He sent out a tweet that he was returning his fanmail and true to his word I got it back a couple of days later with the skyscraper inscription which I really appreciate.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 16 2014, 04:53 PM

Got 1 return in today...

Brandi Chastain
C/O Home in 16 days and signed 1/1
Very cool return from one of the more recognizable players in US soccer history. Obviously she is most known for scoring the game winning goal in the 1999 World Cup against China then ripping off her shirt which is one of the most well known moments in sports history. I love the way the autograph looks on the ginter card, and I specifically asked for that specific inscription which she was gracious enough to do and it looks great. I wish I had more of the non baseball ginter cards as they look great signed and don't need to be prepped. It's not everyday you can add an Olympian TTM and especially in only 16 days. One of my more favorite returns just because of the way it looks and the significance of her goal in the 1999 World Cup.

Posted by: redwing40 Jul 16 2014, 09:15 PM

Nice stuff, Congrats on your TTM's!

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 19 2014, 06:57 PM

2 returns in recently and one unfortunate failure

Aaron Murray
C/O University of Georgia Football in 377 days and signed 2/2 and also signed 2 index cards
Wow! Definitely didn't think I was getting this one back. I just took a shot in the dark sending to him while he was at Georgia and he must have kept all the mail he accumulated while in college. I have had a horrible success rate sending to college players and I'm pretty sure it's due to the college not letting them sign as opposed to the players not wanting to sign based on this return. I hope the he can possibly unseat Alex Smith and become the starting QB in Kansas City in the next couple if years as I really enjoyed watching him play at Georgia and think he could make a solid QB in the NFL, especially a team like KS that relies on running the ball and playing good defense. It is kind of unfortunate that the photos came back a bit smeared, but who cares I'm just glad they came back, and the signed index cards with the inscription are great as well!


Demetrious Johnson
C/O AMC Kickboxing in 132 days and signed 4/4
This is my 3rd return from Mighty Mouse and took the longest of all 3. I primarily sent to him to get the octagon side card signed as I'm doing the set. I think he is finally getting the recognition he deserves as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the UFC. He has a fight coming up against Chris Cariaso at UFC 177 in August and Johnson should win the fight pretty easily. I have kind of hit the wall with this set and hope that a couple of the cards for the set that I sent out come back soon.


Now for the unfortunate failure...

Ed Giacomin
Came back in 15 days unsigned with a note saying that he requires $10 per autograph. This is one of the things that irritates me most about getting TTM autographs. Mr. Giacomin spent more time writing that little note than he would have had he just signed the card. He even wrote his first name on the note. I have seen people get him for free so it's unfortunate that he didn't sign the card.

Posted by: jackthecowboy22 Jul 20 2014, 07:29 PM

sweet stuff

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 22 2014, 07:58 PM

A couple of returns the past couple of days...

Tommy Nobis
C/O Home in 33 days and signed 1/1 and signed 2 index cards and also wrote a really nice note.
A very nice return from all that I have read a very nice person. In my opinion he is one of the most underrated players in NFL history. In 1966 he was credited with 294 tackles which still to this day is the most in a single season. I think it's truly an abomination that he isn't in the NFL Hall of Fame and hopefully he can make it in through the veterans committee. The note he wrote was very nice if him and I always like getting them back. This is a great addition to my 1997 UD Legends set and hopefully I can get more back in the near future!


Nicklas Backstrom
C/O Minnesota Wild in 416 days and signed 4/4
One of my longer returns to date, very happy to get them back as I always like getting the current hockey players TTM. Surprisingly, I have had really bad success with current hockey players and when I do get them back they usually take a long time. Unfortunately, Mr. Backstrom has kind of regressed in his production as he once was consistently in the Vezina Trophy consideration as the top goalie in the NHL. I hope he can regain that form as Minnesota is a team on the rise as one of the better teams in the NHL. This is a rare 11-12 UD set addition that I haven't added to in a long time.

Posted by: whalerfan Jul 29 2014, 12:39 PM

Nice return from Backstrom.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 2 2014, 07:27 PM

Got a couple of returns in today...

Cain Velasquez
C/O AKA in 54 and 131 days and signed a total of 6 cards out of the 10 I sent in both requests.
He sent both requests back in one envelope and saved me an unused SASE which was cool of him to do. These both took longer than the returns I have seen as well as longer than when I got him back in the past. He is one of my favorite fighters in the UFC and really one of the only truly elite heavyweight fighter right now. He is scheduled to fight Fabricio Werdum at UFC 180 which should be great fight for the title. He does personalize everything he signs which is fine with me. This is a great add to my Octagon Side which I have been slowly adding to.


And a big one...

Shaquille O'Neal!
C/O Mine O'Mine in 46 days and signed 3/3
One of my favorite successes to date. He is still to this day my favorite NBA player ever and got me into basketball when he and Kobe were tearing it up in the early 2000's with the Lakers. There's really not much I can really say that you guys don't know about Shaq, in my opinion he was the most intimidating big man of all time and the last of the dying breed if true imposing centers in the NBA. He is a first ballot Hall of Famer and part of the greatest 50 players of all time. Unfortunately, the chrome didn't come out to well but I honestly don't care, I'm just glad to get all of them back signed. If I ever decide to get cards authenticated the topps would definitely be one that would get authenticated.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 6 2014, 05:25 PM

One success in today...

Gilbert Brown
C/O Home in 30 days and signed 1/1 and also signed an index card with inscriptions.
Very cool success from one of my favorite Packers of all-time. He was an integral part of the Packers team that won the Super Bowl in 1996 and without him I'm confident they wouldn't have won that Super Bowl. During his prime he was arguably one of the better NT's in the NFL at stopping the run. I have heard nothing but good things when it comes to him when it comes to signing at really happy to add his autograph to my collection. I really love how he signed the index card with his nickname The Gravedigger and it looks great. This is a very nice addition to my Packers collection.

Finally got a couple of returns...

Vance McDonald
C/O San Francisco 49ers in 119 days and signed 1/1
Very cool success from the up and coming 49ers TE. He's was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2013 draft out if Rice and should be in line to have a big year. One of the cool things about this return is that McDonald followed me on Twitter and said that he signed and sent back my card signed. I also sent him a DM about how the Packers could use him any TE and he said it's too cold,lol. Seems like a really nice guy and hope for nothing but the best to him in the future!


Rashad Evans
C/O Authentic Sports Management, got both requests I sent out back in one day in 102 and 248 days. Each one he signed 5/5.
Very Happy to get this one back as he is one of my favorite fighters. Unfortunately, he got hurt 10 days before he was scheduled to fight Daniel Cormier which would have been a great fight and he had to pull out if the fight. He said he's going to be coming back in the fall and hope that he comes back at 100%. All of the cards turned out great and he signed the jumbo relic perfectly on the relic.

Most impressive success with the returns Conner, its pretty cool to see these guys took the time sign and send back to you.

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 21 2014, 06:06 PM

2 returns in today...

Peter Stastny
C/O Home in 73 days and signed 1/2
Very cool success from one of hockey's all time greats. He was inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998 and was ranked as the 56th best player of all time out of 100. He had a decorated career and is most likely the best player in New Jersey Devils history. One unfortunate thing about this return was that he signed this card instead of the 2001 greats of the game card I needed for my set so I will be resending to him very shortly and I hope I can get the card needed for my set signed as nicely as this one.


Alex Morgan
C/O Portland Thorns in 209 days and signed 1/1
Awesome success from one if the more well known female soccer players in recent memory. I was really happy to get this back since I have heard stories about her signing habits and how age doesn't really like to sign. She made a name for herself in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup and has been having success ever since. The black ink doesn't really show up well in the picture but looks great in person. I'm not really working on this set but I try to get the big names in the set when I can and I'm really happy to get this one back!

Posted by: GBforce12 Aug 23 2014, 01:00 PM

2 returns in today...

Jim Zorn
C/O Home in 7 days and signed 3/3 and also signed an index card
Very cool success from the former star QB of the Seahawks in the late 70's-early 80's. He was a big fan favorite during his time in Seattle and throwing to Steve Largent formed one of the most formidable duos of that era. From what I have seen from what other people have gotten back from him he always inscribes Prov. 22:1 on everything he signs which is very nice if him. I have started sending out these team logo 4x6 photos and this one in particular looks really nice signed, I'm thinking of sending it to Largent to get dual signed.


Michel Goulet
C/O Home in 37 days and signed 1/1 and also signed and index card
Awesome return from one of hockey's most prolific snipers of all-time. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998 and is a true Legend of the Game. Unfortunately, his career was ended prematurely but he seems to have made a successful transition to a front office position. I really like getting these cards signed, they always look nice and doth have to be prepped. This is a very nice addition to my 2001 Greats of the Game set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 11 2014, 05:49 PM

Finally get a chance to update this thread!

Chandler Riggs
C/O FanMail Address in GA in 18 days and signed 2/2
Always happy to get a Walking Dead success in, especially with the show starting up again tomorrow. Hes a pretty good actor for his age and should get a lot of acting opportunities once the show is done. Now that I got him back I have gotten every actor that I sent to and its really cool that the actors are good signers. I really like the inscription he added "Everything is food for something else" you dont see him add inscriptions that often so Im really glad he did it.


Anthony Bennett
C/O Cleveland Cavaliers in 314 days and signed 1/1 and also signed 2 index cards
Did not expect to get this one back! He must have signed his fanmail once getting traded to the Timberwolves. I dont send to NBA rookies that often and to get the 2013 #1 pick is really cool.


Gary Larsen
C/O Home Address in 20 days and signed 3/3
Very nice success from a member of the famous "Purple People Eaters' Minnesota Vikings defensive line of the 60's and 70's. He was a pretty underrated player from that era and earned the "policeman" nickname that he inscribed on the cards. This is a rare 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set addition that I have added to in this group of returns.


Jeff Bostic
C/O Home Address in 18 days and signed 2/2 and also signed an index card.
Cool return from the center of the famous Redskins offensive line named the "Hogs". He was a 3-time super bowl winner and arguably one of the better centers in NFL history. This is another nice 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set addition from a good TTM signer.

Dick Anderson
C/O Home Address in 15 days and signed 3/3 in 15 days.
One of the more underrated safeties of all-time and a member of the Dolphins famous defensive group that was called the "No-Name Defensive" that went 17-0 in 1972. This is third nice addition to my 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set as well as a 1997 UD Legends set addition that i have started to work on. I really enjoy doing these types of sets because a lot of these players that played in the 60's,70's.80's are good signers and fun to send to.


Jeff Janis
C/O Green Bay Packers in 25 days and signed 3/3
Arguably my favorite return of the bunch. He was a 7th round pick in this last draft and looked really good in the preseason and earned a roster spot. He has started getting a little playing time and hope that he can earn a role on this Packers team and help bring the Lombardi Trophy back home soon.

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 11 2014, 06:13 PM

Forgot about this one...

Ricardo Lamas
C/O Top Notch Fitness in 13 days and signed 5/5 with bully inscription

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 16 2014, 10:12 AM

Great looking returns! Congrats and keep sending em out!

Justin

Posted by: GBforce12 Oct 19 2014, 06:19 PM

Have gotten 10 returns since the last update...

Addison Reed
C/O Arizona Diamondbacks in 270 days and signed 3/3
Didn't expect to get this one back. As a White Sox fan I always like getting signed cards of players that are plating for or have played for the White Sox. I actually tried to get him when he was with the White Sox and got an RTS, but then I tried again once he got traded to the D-Backs and got a return after a long wait. I'm actually tentatively working on the 2013 Topps set so this is a very nice addition from an up and coming closer in the MLB.


Reggie Theus
C/O Cal St Northridge in 25 days and signed 1/1
Nice success from the former player and coach. He had a pretty long and underrated playing career from the late 70's-early 90's. He also coached the Kings in 2007 and 2008 and is currently the head coach at Cal St Northridge. Im working on the 1990-91 Fleer set, they look great signed and I currently have 75 out of the 196 cards signed.


Billy Kilmer
C/O Home Address in 64 days and signed 2/2 and also signed and index card.
Cool success from one of the better QB's of the 60's and 70's. He doesnt get a lot of recognition but he put of some darn good stats during his playing career. I have been sending out these team logo 4x6's as they look good signed and give me something else to get signed, I really don't like just sending one card if possible. This is a nice addition to my 1999 UD Legends set from a good TTM signer.


Harold Jackson
C/O Home Address in 24 days and signed 3/3 and also signed an index card.
Another return from a very underrated WR that played a long time in the NFL. Along with Stanley Morgan, they were one of the best WR duo's of the late 70's/early 80's. This is very nice addition to my 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set that I have added to a bit recently. I will probably be sending the photo along with a card or two to Stanley Morgan in the future.


Carl Bradford
C/O Green Bay Packers in 63 days and signed 1/1 and also signed 2 index cards.
I always love getting Packers autographs to add to my collection TTM, especially current players. He was a 4th round pick in this past draft out of Arizona State and has been making the transition to Middle Linebacker this season. Hes a guy that's raw but has a lot of potential to work with and I would really like to see him get some playing time in the future. I actually got him in-person when I went to Packers training camp, and hes a really nice guy and signed a lot. I really like this photo on this card and was really happy to get it back signed.


Leroy Butler
C/O The Leroy Butler Foundation in 108 days and signed 1/1
Like I said, I always love getting Packers autographs to add to my collection TTM and this is one of the best. He's is arguably the best safety in franchise history which is saying a lot with how storied the Packers franchise history is. He's the creator of the famous Lambeau Leap and is a legend around Green Bay. I really like the look of this card and glad to get it back signed. I actually sent a tweet to him and he favorited and retweeted it so that was really cool.


Joe Mullen
C/O Philadelphia Flyers in 25 days and signed 1/3
One of the best players in NHL history and had a long and decorated career. He also did a lot off the ice with charity work and won the Lester Patrick trophy which awards outstanding service work for hockey in the United States. I really like this 2001 Greats of the Game set, they always turn out great and I was really happy to get this one back for that set.


Neal Broten
C/O Home Address in 25 days and signed 2/2 and also signed an index card
Also one of the best and had a long and successful NHL career. He is one of the few players to have won the NCAA hockey championship,an Olympic gold Medal, and the Stanley Cup. He was also inducted into the NHL HOF in 2000. This is another great addition to my 2001 Greats of the Game set.


Amanda Nunes
C/O Gym in 21 days and signed 2/2.
She was also nice enough to include a little note which is always cool and appreciated. This is only the third success from a women MMA fighter and im looking to get more as there are more cards produced of these great fighters. She looked good in the first round against Cat Zingano, but then got beat badly in the second round to an eventual TKO. She is a talented fighter and only 26 so she has alot of time to rebound. I also sent a tweet to her on twitter with a picture of the success and she Favorited and re-tweeted it which is cool.


Anthony Johnson
C/O Authentic Sports Management in 145 days and signed 6/6
Awesome return from a fighter that i really enjoy watching. With this domestic abuse issue who knows when he will fight again but I would love to see a fight against Jon Jones for the title in the future. Of course I traded for a signed moment of truth card of him because I hadnt gotten him in yet but then I get this back. I was really happy he inscribed his nickname "rumble" on all of the cards. I have heard hes not real easy to get in person so I was really happy when I got all of these back signed TTM.

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 19 2014, 10:12 PM

love the UFC returns! I heard they usually take the longest to get back, do you think that is true?

A couple of returns I have gotten in recently...

Bobby Hull
C/O Chicago Blackhawks in 135 days and signed 2/2 and also signed 2 index cards.
The fact that arguably one of the greatest hockey players of all-time signs for free TTM is awesome. If you are a hockey fan I would highly suggest sending to him now as I could see him stop signing soon as hes getting up there in age and already is sporadic in his signing habits. His autograph is really nice looking and always consistent, players nowadays should take notice. Im doing the 2001 Greats of the Game set and really happy to get this one back as a Blackhawks fan.


Ronda Rousey
C/O Glendale Fighting Club in 149 days and signed 1/1
This is actually my 3rd return from her and I actually just sent a fight poster to her yesterday. You can see a regression in the quality of her autograph from the first one I got back to this one. This was personalized but I took it off and the card looks fine. I could definitely see here stop signing in the future so all MMA fans I would recommend sending to her now. You can say what you want but I have become a big Rousey fan, she has progressed as a fighter and here fights draw like the top male fighters. I hope that I can get the fight poster back and am curious to see what her autograph looks like with a lot of room to sign.

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 26 2014, 02:16 AM

Awesome! Rousey is a beast!

Justin

Posted by: whalerfan Oct 30 2014, 05:42 AM

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 5 2014, 09:24 PM

Finally get a chance to update with 18 TTM's...

Mark Margolis
C/O Red Letter Entertainment in 37 days and signed 1/1 and also included a signed business card.
My first Breaking Bad return, and Im very excited to get this one back. If you guys dont know who the character is that Mr. Margolis played he was the guy who was in the wheelchair that rand the bell to communicate. This specific poster is the season in which he died blowing himself up and killing Gus in the process. Hes been in a lot of good movies including Scarface and The Wrestler. I thought the role he played in Breaking Bad was great as he never said a word and always got his point across. I sent a couple of Breaking Bad posters out TTM so I hope I can get more of them back.


Louis Nix III
C/O Home Address in 193 days and signed 2/2
A rare current football return, a nice one at that. I really enjoyed watching him play at Notre Dame and wish the Packers could have drafted him to beef up their D-Line. He unfortunately, was put on IR in September with a knee injury so I hope he can make a quick recovery. I sent about 10 of these 14 UD cards and this one of only a couple that I have gotten back, football rookies aren't great TTM signers which you wouldn't think is the case.


Greg Lloyd
C/O Home Address in 614 days and signed 2/2
Didnt expect to get this one back. He was really an underrated player in his playing career and his career was cut short because of injuries. This is a rare 2005 Topps Fan-Favorites set add, which I havent added to in awhile and looks really cool in the gold pen he used.


Mario Williams
C/O Buffalo Bills in 27 days and signed 2/2
2 current NFL returns in 1 update is a rarity. The 2006 NFL draft was the first draft that I followed really closely and Williams is still the most physically gifted player I have ever seen coming out of the draft. I remember the Packers picked 5th that year and wanted Williams bad, even though I was happy with the Hawk pick. He was nice enough to inscribe '06 1st pick on the Topps Total card(Which is a set I wish they would bring back) which was cool of him to do.


Nick Collins
C/O PO Box address in 73 days and signed 2/2
This one was kind of sad to get back, I still to this day believe that if Collins didnt get hurt in 2011 he would be the best safety in the NFL. He was on his way to that accomplishment in 2010 in which the Packers won the Super Bowl and I think would have repeated if he didnt have a career ending injury. He was nice enough to inscribe XLV Champs on both cards which looks good.


Peter Stastny
C/O Home address in 70 days and signed 1/1
This is my second return from Mr. Stastny, the first one I got back I sent 2 cards and he signed the non-set card so i resent to him to get this card signed. Happy to get it back nicely signed in blue and its an awesome addition to my set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 5 2014, 09:24 PM

Arianny Celeste
C/O Authentic Sports Management in 46 days and signed 4/4
My first Ring Girl return, and hopefully not my last. I have sent to Brittany Palmer and hope that I can get a return from her as well.


Sergio Pettis
C/O Roufus Sport in 25 days and signed 5/5
Really happy to get this one back as Im a big fan of his. He still really young at only 21 years old and has shown flashes of what could be a great career. He has a fight coming up against Matt Hober at UFC 181 and hopefully he can secure a win and move up the flyweight division.


Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza
C/O Jiu Jitsu Pro Gear in 69 days and signed 4/4
Excited to get this one back as I think hes an eventual title holder. He's been on a big winning streak and has a big fight against Yoel Romero at UFC 184 that could be a potential #1 contenders fight. Nice MOT set addition as well.


Ben Rothwell
C/O Rothwell MMA in 40 days and signed 4/4
Cool return from one of my favorite fighters to watch, always a fun fight with him. That fight against Overeem was so much fun to watch, as big of an upset as it was. He should be getting a quality opponent in his next fight (JDS or Miocic maybe) and it will be interesting to see if he can match up against a good fighter. The silver pen he used looks really nice on the cards.


Rafael Dos Anjos
C/O Kings MMA in 60 days and signed 4/4
Another nice return from a future title fight contender. He had a big upset against Benson Henderson and will fight Nick Diaz in what should be a exciting fight at UFC on Fox 13.


Myles Jury
C/O Alliance in 38 days and signed 1/1
One of my "sleepers" as you could say. I feel like he could one day be a contender for the lightweight belt. He has a fight coming up at UFC 182 against Donald Cerrone which should be a fantastic fight. I am considering doing the champions set, haven't decided yet but trying to get as many as I can.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 5 2014, 09:24 PM

George Sotiropoulos
C/O Gracie Barra in 73 days and signed 5/5
Cool return from someone that hasnt been to easy to get TTM in the past. This 4X6 is almost complete if I can somehow get Rousimar Palhares TTM.


Roy Nelson
C/O Springer Training in 30 days and signed 7/7
One of my favorite signers so I was very happy to get these back. He has been a favorite of mine ever since he knocked out Brenden Schaub in the 10th season of the Ultimate Fighter. Everyone knows he is particular with signing by personalizing through his autograph but in all honest I really dont care as long as he signs what I have. I do wish he would have signed his spot on the poster instead of signing over someone else but what can you do, but still very excited to get everything back signed.



Johny Hendricks
C/O Team Take Down in 40 days and signed 7/7
Awesome return from the current Welterweight Champion. I am very happy that he signed everything I sent and inscribed his nickname "bigg Rigg". He signed everything just the way I wanted and its a great return.


Frankie Edgar
C/O PO Box Address in 44 days and signed 7/7
Another awesome return, Im really happy he reopened his PO Box and began signing again. Just like Hendricks he signed everything perfectly and I couldn't be happier. This also included a great addition to my Octagon Side set which I haven't added to awhile.


Tyron Woodley
C/O American Top Team in 12 days and signed 4/5
Very quick return from another one of my favorite fighters. Hes real cool on twitter responding to fanmail requests and letting people know that hes returning stuff signed. The gold pen he used looks real nice on the cards. I also said that he could keep any of the cards that he wanted and he kept the 14 champions which is totally cool with me.


Ronda Rousey
C/O Glendale Fighting Club in 46 days and signed 1/1
I swear this is my last request Im sending to her. I saw this poster and just had to send it to her and it looks awesome. I couldn't be happier with the way this turned out, no complaints.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 13 2014, 09:49 PM

A couple of returns I have gotten back recently...

Abby Wambach
C/O Home Address in 325 days and signed 1/1 and one that I didn't think was coming back after such a long wait. She is a legend in the sport, especially for heading in goals in world cup games. That Womens soccer team in the 2012 Summer Olympics was very fun to watch and had a lot of big names (Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, Abby Wambach, etc.) on way to winning the gold medal. She was awarded the 2012 FIFA World Player of the Year in which she was the first player to be awarded that honor in 10 years. Im not really working on the 2012 Topps Olympic set, but try to get them signed TTM whenever I can, especially when I can get the big names in the set.


Butch Goring
C/O New York Islanders in 14 days and signed 1/1
A quick return from one of the better players in Islanders history. He had a pretty decorated career including winning the Lady Byng Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy, and winning the Stanley Cup 4 times. One thing I have noticed about this set is that it seems like every return I get they look nice and never get smudged or damaged. A great addition to my set.


Joseph Benavidez
C/O Team Alpha Male in 55 days and signed 7/7
Cool return from a fighter that I have enjoyed watching for a long time. The cards and especially the poster look really nice with the silver pen he used, a very nice return from the flyweight contender.


Hector Lombard
C/O ATT in 50 days and signed 6/6 and also included 2 signed promos.
One of the cooler returns I have I gotten back, he included to signed promos that I didn't ask for, paid for return postage, and included my SASE inside the one he provided. He also signed all of the cards on the back which was really cool of him but he really didnt have to do that since the cards look fine on the front. It was really nice of him to include 2 signed promos and Im looking forward to his fight against Josh Burkman in January and hopefully a title shot after that.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 21 2014, 08:51 PM

Been on a bit of drought lately, but got 1 in yesterday...

Brian Ebersole
Dont Remember what address I used(Wasnt Tiger Muay Thai) I want to say it was a home address. Got his back in 338 days and signed 5/7
Didnt expect to get this one back after a couple of guys got him back a couple days ago and mine didnt show up, but low and behold it did after all of this time. This is a nice return, as I have seen returns from him where signs on the back and Im glad he signed them on the front in a nice blue pen that looks great on the cards. This 4x6 is probably going to go out to Cub Swanson to continue to be signed, A nice addition to my Moment of Truth Set which is now at 105/220.

Posted by: GBforce12 Dec 27 2014, 07:57 PM

A couple of returns I have gotten in...

John Harbaugh
C/O Baltimore Ravens in 12 days and signed 1/1
My first return for a project I have started working on. I'm trying to get every NFL coach to draw out their favorite play and then sign it with the play name. I thought it was interesting to see that his favorite play is the Four Verts and it will be interesting to see what other NFL coaches draw out when I get them back. This return looks great and looks exactly what I had in mind when I decided to start this project.


Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah
C/O Detroit Lions in 366 days and signed 2/4
Very nice return from one of the best up and coming pass rushers in the NFL. Unfortunately, it seems like he always plays well against the Packers(My Team). He is still young and will continue to develop as a pass rusher and could be a perennial pro bowler in a couple of years. I'm pretty sure I sent a couple cards which he mush have kept which is fine. I have seen to many returns from him so Im happy to get this back after a long wait.


John Bucyk
C/O Boston Bruins Alumni in 13 days and signed 1/1 and also signed 2 index cards
Another nice success for my 2001 Greats of the Game set, and signed beautifully. One thing I have noticed about doing this set is that a majority of players in the set are in Canada which makes it kind of expensive to try to send to players with the cost of stamps, because of this whenever I see that a player is signing in the US I sent to them right away. This is a very nice return as he is one of the best players in Bruins history and it came back very quickly signed perfectly.


Alexander Gustafasson
C/O Alliance Training Center in 250 and 283 days and signed a total of 5 things in the 2 requests.
Really happy to get both of these back in the same day as I needed him for my Octagon Side set, which I now have 2 of. He's always good about catching up on his fanmail when he comes back to train at Alliance. I do wish he would have added The Mauler inscription on the cards(But he did add it on the photo) but overall its a very nice return from the Light Heavyweight championship contender.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jan 25 2015, 03:58 AM

Some returns I have gotten back...

Sam Mitchell
C/O Minnesota Timberwolves in 20 days and signed 1/1
Nice success from one of the best players in Timberwolves history. He ranks second in team history in points, steals, and minutes played and is third in rebounds. He also had a successful transition to coaching, winning Coach of the Year with the Raptors in 06-07. I have kind of stalled in getting returns for my 1990-91 fleer set so whenever I get one back its always exciting.


Tommie Frazier
C/O Home Address in 18 days and signed 1/1
Awesome return from a college football legend. He had a decorated career at Nebraska in the early 90's and is still considered to be one of the greatest players to ever play college football. Unfortunately, he didnt get a chance to play in the NFL due to a blood clot in his leg. He hadnt been a really good signer TTM so I was real excited to get this one back for my 2005 Topps All-American set.


Marvin Lewis
C/O Cincinnati Bengals in 18 days and signed 1/1
Another very cool return for the project I have just started working on. I think its really cool just seeing what play these coaches write out and in this case its alittle difficult to tell,lol. Still and awesome return and he did what I wanted him to so I have no complaints and look forward to seeing more of these come back soon. I actually ordered more of these photos so Im going to continue to send them out, I have also contemplated sending them out to college coaches so hopefully that goes well.


Tomas Vokoun
C/O Home Address in 385 days and signed 1/2
Didnt expect to see this one back after a long wait. Its always cool when you get these returns after such a long wait and you totally forgot you sent them out. I do wish that he would have signed the 2011 UD card for my set, but I also like the look of the All-Goalies set so i was happy to get it back. He had a nice long long career and recently retired so i hope for all the best in his post playing days.


Marcel Dionne
C/O Home Address in 18 days and signed 1/1
Very nice return from the NHL legend and 1992 Hall of Fame inductee. He had a long decorated career in the NHL with a couple of different teams. He is a good TTM signer and a great addition to my 2001 Greats of the Game set.


Ted Lindsay
C/O Home Address in 15 days and signed 1/1 and signed an index card
Awesome return from one of the best players in the storied history of the Detroit Red Wings. He is a true pioneer in the game of hockey and helped establish a lot of the things that helped make the game what it is today. The fact that he still signs regularly and for free is a true testament to the type of guy he is as he no doubt could charge a fee or not sign at all at this point. The card looks great and he inscribed HHOF '66 which he didnt have to do. Im really enjoying working on this set as every one I have gotten back has looked great and not one has come back smudged or bubbled.


Alexander Gustafsson
C/O Alliance in 10 days and signed 7/7
A very quick return from one of my favorite fighters in the UFC. I have gotten him back recently after a long wait so now would be the time to send to him as hes probably going back to Sweden soon. As soon as I got this poster I knew I was going to send it to him as it would look awesome signed and it does. I now have noting left for him to sign and can leave him alone, lol.



Miesha Tate
C/O Xtreme Couture in 84 and 120 days (2 returns) and signed 3/3 and 4/4
Really excited about this return as I have tried getting her in the past without a return. She seems to finally be signing and returning her fanmail through Xtreme Couture as I have seen other returns from there recently. Really happy to get the Octagon Side card done as I needed for my set.

NICE. Keep em coming!

A couple of returns the past couple of days....

Coby Fleener
C/O Indianapolis Colts in 25 days and signed 4/4
Very nice returns from one of the up and coming Tight Ends in the NFL. He had a pretty good year last season with 774 rec yards and 8 TD's spitting time with Dwayne Allen. He as all the tools, along with the trust of Andrew Luck and will continue to grow into one of the better Tight Ends in the league. The cards themselves look great with the blue pen he used and all came away smudge free and in good condition.



Bob Nystrom
C/O Home Address in 167 days and signed 2/2 and also signed an index card.
Another great addition to my 2001 Greats of the Game set. He is arguably the best player in Islanders history and is regarded as " Mr. Islander". This set is coming around nicely and I look forward to getting more back in the future.


Donald Cerrone
C/O His Gym Address in 26 days and signed 7/7
Awesome return from one of the most popular fighters in the UFC and a great TTM signer. Hes coming off of a win against Benson Henderson and I would really like to see him get a chance at Pettis for the title. He was nice enough to even inscribe "Fight of the Night" and "Knockout of the Night" on the mini poster which is awesome of him too do.

1 return that I forgot to upload...

Billy Butler
C/O Kansas City Royals Spring Training in 347 days and signed 2/3
Definitely didn't think I was getting this one back, especially after he signed with the Athletics. Always enjoy getting returns from Spring Training requests especially after such a long wait. He had a down year in 2014, hitting only 9 HR's and 66 RBI's but the Royals still made the World Series loosing to the SF Giants. This is a rare 2013 Topps set addition which I haven't added to or sent requests out for in a while. Im looking forward to sending more 2013 Topps requests once the season starts and look forward to getting more back soon.

21 returns...


Matt L. Jones
C/O Home Address in 140 days and signed 1/1
An awesome Breaking Bad return from "Badger". He was one of my favorite characters on the show, and he has been on alot of other things as well. This is the censored version of what I got back even I think the uncensored version is better, haha. Unfortunately, not many members of the Breaking Bad cast sign TTM so I dont know how many more Breaking Bad requests I will send out.



Ty Detmer
C/O Home address in 40 days and signed 1/1
Nice return for my 2005 Topps All-American set from one of the best college football players of All-Time. Besides being a Heisman Trophy winning QB in college, he was also drafted by my team the Green Bay Packers serving as a back up to Brett Favre. I pretty much have hit a wall on this set as not many more sign TTM regularly but I will continue to try to get them when I can.



Jon Gruden
C/O ESPN in 30 days and signed 1/1 and also signed 2 index cards
Cool success for my new Coaches Playbook collection. Im really trying to just keep this at current college and NFL head coaches but I always liked Gruden as a coach and he might be coaching again in the future. The more detail the better when getting these back and this was exactly what Im looking for when sending these requests.



Ron Rivera
C/O Carolina Panthers in 65 days and signed 1/1
Another great addition to the aforementioned Coaches Playbook collection. Rivera is one of the better Head Coaches in the NFL and I was real excited to get this one back in the off season.



Jimbo Fisher
C/O Florida State University in 38 days and signed 1/1
My last addition to the Coaches Playbook Collection for this update, and my favorite. This was particularly cool because he described when the play was used and from looking it up the play was a Nick O'Leary (TE) TD. I hope to continue to get these back, its really cool to see how much detail these coaches decide to write and what the play looks like.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 9 2015, 09:36 PM

Roberto Luongo
C/O Home Address in 41 days and signed 2/2
This is my second success from him and most likely my last. Luongo has had a solid season in Florida and had an overally great NHL career. His autograph is alittle suspect but im just happy he signed and returned my cards. Im contemplating doing the 2011 Panini all Goalies set as the cards look nice and goalie is my favorite position in hockey.



Brent Johnson
C/O Home Address in 35 days and signed 4/4
Cool return from the former back up to Marc Andre-Fleury in Pittsburgh in which he had his best season in 10-11. Hes a good signer and someone that I needed for my 11-12 UD set as well as the All Goalies set Im probably going to work on.



Martin Biron
C/O Home Address in 38 days and signed 3/3
Another cool return from a goalie that had a long career in the NHL. Like Johnson he also backed up a top tier goaltender in Henrik Lundqvist in New York after bouncing around from team to team. He signed all 3 cards nicely in blue which looks nice.







Ron Hextall
C/O Philadelphia Flyers in 30 days and signed 1/1
Awesome return from one of the best goalies in NHL history and undoubtedly the best in Flyers history. He is now the GM in Philadelphia and should do good things for that team. The card looks great, and when I got this back this inspired me to try and attempt this set.





Jim Craig
C/O Home Address in 38 days and signed 1/1 and also signed an index card.
Another great success for the potential All Goalies set. He didnt have the best NHL career but obviously is well known for being the starting goalie for the 1980 USA "Miracle on Ice" team. Again the card looks great as the usually do with all of the white space.



Johnny Bower
C/O Home Address in 40 days and signed 2/2
Another awesome hockey return from an NHL legend. This is a great addition to my 2001 Greats of the Game set that I have been steadily working on.



Ryan Suter
C/O Minnesota Wild in 32 days and signed 1/1
Second time is the charm as I got him back on my second try. Sutter is one of the best Defensemen in the NHL and its awesome that he takes the time to sign his fanmail. Now I have gotten the two stars of the Wild in Suter and Parise which is cool. I wish I could have gotten him on a 11-12 UD card for my set but nevertheless its a great hockey success.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 9 2015, 09:36 PM

Phil Davis (Thanks Davis)
C/O Alliance with help in 37 days and signed 6/6
Great return from a fighter that I have been trying to get for a long time and had been previously 0/3 with him. Unfortunately, the pen he used was terrible and you can tell he signed them as quickly as possible which didnt help. Still happy to get him after so many unsuccessful attempts form a top tier fighter. The picture I used doesn't help and they do look better in person.



Kendall Grove
C/O HBUTC in 694 days and signed 3/4
One of my longer returns I have gotten. He mush have been catching up on his fanmail as I have seen a couple of returns from him recently. This is nice addition to my Moment of Truth set which whenever I can get them TTM its great. The picture came out kind of blurry for some reason





Sara McMann
C/O Revolution MMA in 35 days and signed 4/4
I have been trying to send more womens MMA requests and this was one that I got back recently. I do wish she would have signed the champions cards on the front but who knows if the cards would have came out good anyway.





Brandon Thatch
C/O Home Address (Thanks David) in 40 days and signed 4/4 with a handwritten letter
Cool return from an up and coming fighter that I really enjoy watching. I hope he can rebound from his lost vs Henderson and get a W in is next fight. The pen he used looks really nice and I wish more fighters would do the same and use better pens.





Rich Franklin
C/O Xtreme Fitness in 32 days and signed 2/5
This is the second time I have gotten him back and both times he only signed 1 or 2 cards and didnt sign my Moment of Truth card for the set or a jumbo relic that I would have liked to get signed. Im going to send again and just send a MOT card in hopes that I can get it signed.



Michael McDonald
C/O Estellers MMA and Oakdale Academy in both 42 and 163 days.
I really enjoy watching McDonald fight and was really glad to get all of these cards as well as the pics signed. He also included a couple of really cool handwritten letter which is awesome and something you dont see a lot sending TTM's.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 9 2015, 09:36 PM

Paige VanZant
C/O GYM Address in 30 days and signed 2/2
This was one return I really wanted to get back. I dont send just regular 8x10's that often so you know when I do Im really big fan of that player/fighter. I think VanZant could be the best fighter in the division and a future champion. I cant wait until she has cards made of her and I will make sure to send a couple of those in the future.





Dan Henderson
C/O Henderson Fitness Center in 129 days and signed 7/7
My favorite return from this update. Henderson is one of my favorite fighters ever and I was ecstatic to get all of these back signed. He just recently started signing again and Im glad because he stopped for a long time. One thing I dont understand is why he wasnt in the Moment of Truth set, they have seemingly everyone else but excluded him. A great return and one that will be on my collection forever.

Posted by: whalerfan Mar 18 2015, 11:35 AM

Great puck returns, fun fact Brent Johnson's grandpa is Sid Abel.

Posted by: GBforce12 Mar 31 2015, 08:05 PM

Update...


Darren Young
C/O Fanmail Address in 23 days and signed 2/2[/FONT][/COLOR]
Cool return from a current member of the Primetime Players tag team in the WWE. I dont normally send to a lot of WWE wrestlers because they dont tend to sign very well but this was an exception because he posted his address on social media saying to send fanmail there and he would sign it and he did. The silver pen he used looks real nice and I really like the NXT cards (all years) and Im actually planning on trying to get the whole 2015 Topps NXT cards signed which should be fun.[/FONT][/COLOR]
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/DY_zps9oilwqou.jpg.html

Terry Funk
C/O Home address in 20 days and signed 1/1
Like I said before I dont tend to send to a lot of wrestlers past or present but had the card and saw that he signed and decided to send it out. Funk is a true legend of the sport and for anyone that says wrestling is fake ask this guy if its fake and see what he says. I dont know if he still is wrestling but last I saw he was wrestling well into his sixties which is crazy for the type of matches he puts on. I wish I had more cards of these older wrestlers as they do sign somewhat regularly unlike current wrestlers.
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/Funk_zpstasucj9x.jpg.html

Abdul Salaam
C/O PO Box Address in 25 days and signed 3 and added a signed photo.
A rare 2005 Topps Fan Favorites set addition from a member of the NY Sack Exchange. He wasnt a real good signer until recently so I was happy to get everything back signed and he was even nice enough to include a photo in which I will probably try to get signed by a couple of other people on it.
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/Salaam_zps0pdddmef.jpg.html

Bill Snyder
C/O Kansas State Athletics in 21 days and signed 1/1
An awesome addition to my coaches playbook collection. I have decided to expand this project to major college coaches and like you will see in this update they are pretty good at responding to their fanmail and Mr. Snyder is no exception.
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/Bill%20Snyder_zpsjzgntbrh.jpg.html

Art Briles
C/O Baylor Athletics in 23 days and signed 1/1
Another great addition to the coaches playbook collection from a real underrated coach.
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/Briles_zpsbedvh3eu.jpg.html

Dabo Swinney
C/O Clemson Athletics in 20 days and signed 1/1
Another return for the project. I though this was especially cool because he specifically listed Spiller(as in CJ Spiller) as the guy running the wheel route from the RB position. I just thought that was cool and made it stand out even more.
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/Swinney_zpsjiukjssx.jpg.html

Cat Zingano
C/O Easton Training Center in 21 days and signed 1/3
My second request to her and glad to get a success back. It was kind of unfortunate that she only signed 1 of the 3 cards I sent to her but I wanted this one signed the most out of the 3 so its all good. She is one of my favorite fighters in that division and I know she will rebound from that terrible loss vs Rousey.
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/Cat_zpsc1gr7ttp.jpg.html

Jeremy Stephens
C/O Alliance MMA in 60 days and signed 4/6
An unfortunate return as he didnt sign the card I needed for my set (MOT) in which I included 2 copies of that card and the pen he used was either dried up or wasnt working properly and its difficult to see the signature on the card. I'll probably try sending to him again and see if I can get the card I need for my set signed in a good pen.
http://s1015.photobucket.com/user/ConRyl15/media/Stephens_zpsgslokf0i.jpg.html

Khabib Nurmagomedov
C/O AKA in 228 days and signed 3/3
Also my second try to him and real glad to get these back signed. I havent seen a return from Khabib in awhile so he must be back in the US and signing his fanmail. I cant wait to watch his next fight against Cerrone and it should be a great fight to be the next fighter in line for a title shot.

Awesome returns!

Posted by: GBforce12 Apr 24 2015, 07:02 PM

A couple of returns I have gotten in recently...

John Wall
C/O Washington Wizards in 80 days and signed 1/1
One of the better NBA successes I have ever gotten. Wall is one of my favorite players in the NBA and hes going to continue to progress into one of the top PG's in the NBA. I was glad to see he signed the card in silver as some of the returns I have seen from him have been signed in black and if he would have done that it wouldnt have looked as good as it does. Whenever you get current NBA All-Star's TTM Im always happy and I was real excited when this came back signed.


David Booth
C/O Home Address in 657 days and signed 2/2
An unexpected return and one of my longest requests to date. I was realy happy to get both of these cards for my 11-12 UD set especially because it saved me the extra time and stamps to end to Toronto where he is currently playing. With the NHL playoffs currently going on I have been sending more current Hockey TTM's so I hope I get more coming in the future.


Glenn "Chico" Resch
C/O Home Address in 39 days and signed 2/2
Another nice addition to my 2001 Greats of the Game hockey set from the legendary goalie. These have been slowing coming in as I have not been sending to guys from this set that are outside the US which I will eventually and should add some more for this set going forward.


Jorge Rivera
C/O Rivera Athletic Center in 35 days and signed 4/4
Cool return from the now retired MMA fighter and one that I needed for my ever growing 2011 Moment of Truth set. He was nice enough to inscribe his nickname El Conquistador as requested on all of the cards which is appreciated.


Nik Lentz
C/O ATT in 73 days and signed 5/5
Another nice addition to my 2011 Moment of Truth set. I had the other cards lying around and decided to send them as well and they turned out real good in the gold pen which doesn't usually happen with the champions cards even when you prep them.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 18 2015, 08:06 PM

Got a chance to update...

Mark Wahlberg
C/O Leverage Management in 169 days and signed 1 photo
Awesome return from one of the better actors in recent memory. I ahve enjoyed watching him act in many different movies (Lone Survivor, Ted, etc.) but my favorite was The Fighter so i decided to print out a photo and send to him TTM and really glad to get it back signed. He is notorious for only signing in black sharpie so Im glad that he signed in a spot that the signature shows up well. I dont do many actors/actresses TTM but it might be something I get more into in the future.


I also decided to start the 2014 Topps WWE NXT set and have gotten 5/10 so far. This is who have I have gotten as of 5/18/15. They were all sent to the WWE Performance Center and all signed 1/1


Bull Dempsey (21 Days)


Aiden English (42 Days)


Marcus Louis (30 Days)


Tye Dillinger (41 Days)


Hideo Itami (43 Days)- My personal favorite, hopefully he gets a shot on the main roster soon.


Conor Gillaspie
C/O Chicago White Sox in 42 days and signed 2/2
Nice return from the White Sox utility man. As a White Sox fan I enjoy watching him play, hes a real gritty hard nose player who gives it his all every game. I sent out the White Sox 2014 Heritage 10 card set TTM and Gillaspie is the first to respond and I look forward to hopefully seeing more come in soon.


Louis Gonzalez
C/O Arizona Diamondbacks in 330 days and signed 5/5
A long unexpected return from in my opinion the best hitter in Diamondbacks history. He will forever be a D-Backs legend after his hit against Mariano Rivera in game 7 of the 2001 world series to clinch the title for Arizona.


Steve Largent
C/O Home Address in 227 days and signed 2/2
Very cool return from one of the best players in Seahawks history. The moment I got Zorn back on this logo photo I knew I had to send it to Largent to complete the photo. it just made too much sense to get one of the best QB/WR duo of the 80's on a photo together. I also had a card laying around so I sent that as well and glad I got that signed nicely too.



Rashad Jennings
C/O New York Giants in 111 days and signed 3/3
Pretty much a completely random return. I saw a return at the time and had the cards so I just decided to send to him out of the blue. Every team Jennings goes too, whether it be the Jaguars, Raiders, or Giants it seems like Jennings is always an effective option at RB and Im happy to get 3 RC's signed.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 18 2015, 08:06 PM

Also a couple of returns for my Coaches playbook collection that I got in recently. These have been coming in slow, as to be expected in the off season and I hope that more will be coming in once these coaches come back to the team facilities.

Mark Richt
C/O University of Georgia Athletics in 71 days and signed 1/1


Dan Quinn
C/O Atlanta Falcons in 105 days and signed 1/1
I thought this one was interesting as he drew out a defensive play whereas every other one i have gotten back have been offensive plays. You can tell he put alittle more time into drawing out this play than some of the others I have gotten in which I really appreciate.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 18 2015, 08:06 PM

Clark Gillies
C/O Home Address in 71 days and signed 2/2
Nice return from an Islanders legend and 2002 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee. The 2001 Greats of the Game returns have been slow, but I think if I did decide to start sending requests to Canada I would get alot more in which Im considering doing in the future.


Shea Weber
C/O Nashville Predators in 74 days and signed 2/2
Awesome return from on of my favorite players in the league. Being that Nashville is in Chicago's division I get the chance to see Weber play alot and really respect the way he plays the game. This is my second request to get him and Im very happy that I was able to get these signed nicely on the second attempt.


Johny Hendricks
C/O Team Takedown in 878 days and signed 2/2 and included a wristband
I think this is my longest return to date. Didnt even think I sent to him again and was obviously not expecting to see this one come back after such a long wait. This request must have gotten lost or something as I have gotten him twice since then in much shorter time frames.


Rich Franklin
C/O Xtreme Fitness in 70 days and signed 2/2
Finally, after numerous attempts to get him for my Moment of Truth set I was able to get him. I made sure to explicitly state in my letter that if he could sign the MOT card it would be greatly appreciated and he fortunately obliged, the Round 4 highlight reel was just an added bonus.

Posted by: GBforce12 May 22 2015, 06:14 PM

A couple of successes I have gotten in recently...

Sawyer Fulton
C/O WWE Performance Center in 46 days and signed 1/1
im now 6/10 with this set in only about a month of sending them out.



Tom Thibodeau
C/O Chicago Bulls in 113 days and signed 1/1
This is the first basketball addition to the coaches playbook collection. I am really happy to get the Head Coach(now former) coach of my team the Chicago Bulls and he signed and drew a play nicely as requested.


Patrick Sharp
These are two separate requests C/O Chicago Blackhawks in 138 days(5/5) and 46 days(3/3)
An awesome addition to my Chicago Blackhawks collection. He's one of the better players on the team and Im really happy to add his autograph to my collection. Apparently he isnt the easiest to get in-person but hes pretty good TTM and I will always jump at the chance to get current Blackhawks TTM for my collection.


Matt Brown
C/O His Home Address in Ohio in 51 days and signed 5/5
Happy to get these back since I got an RTS from Ohio Combat Club. He also included a note apologizing for the long wait which was real nice of him. All of the cards turned out nice (even the champions card) and Im glad to add some cards of his I didnt have signed for my collection.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jun 20 2015, 07:53 PM

Recapping what I have gotten in recently...

Michael Brantley
C/O Cleveland Indians in 76 days and signed 2/3
Awesome return from the Indians star outfielder. He had a breakout year last season making the All-Star team and winning the Silver Slugger Award. Real surprised to see this one come back as I just sent a couple of requests out to current MLB players and this is the only one I have gotten back so far. This is a cool success for my 2013 Topps set which I have been working on.


Lindy Infante
C/O Home Address in 28 days and signed 1/3
A kind of disappointing return, I sent two cards and a photo for my coaches playbook collection and the card(which came back in kind of rough shape) is the only thing i got back. Still a cool return for my Packers collection, he is an underrated coach in Packers history being named Coach of the Year in 1989. He was fired by Ron Wolf and the next coach hired was Mike Holmgren and the rest is history in Green Bay.


Ken Ruettgers
C/O Home Address in 30 days and signed 3/3
Another return for my Packers collection as I have made an effort to add more signed Packers cards to my collection. He was a staple at LT for a long time in Green Bay and was named to the Packers Hall of Fame. All three of the cards came out nice and its a nice success to my growing Packers signed card collection.


Ryan Kerrigan
C/O Washington Redskins in 166 days and signed 2/2
Very cool return from a player I have enjoyed watching since his days at Purdue. Hes been productive his whole career so far in Washington already notching 38 career sacks. I would love to see him one day in a Packers uniform(although highly unlikely) in the future. A rare current NFL return from a rising star that I am glad to get in recently.


Chris Chelios
C/O Detroit Red Wings in 32 days and signed 3/6
Im trying to get some Blackhawks signed cards TTM and what is better than getting one of the best players in the franchises history. Hes a real good TTM signer but I never had cards of him until recently and once I got a couple of his cards they went out right away. He is notorious for keeping or not signing cards and was the case in this scenario. All three of the cards turned out great in blue and Im real glad to add them to my collection.


Bobby Hull
C/O Chicago Blackhawks in 35 days and signed 5/5
This is my third and last request to get in my opinion the team's best player of all time. He's also a real good TTM signer and always signs everything nicely. Im real happy to add five nicely signed cards to the ever growing Blackhawks collection.


Craig Anderson
C/O Home Address in 21 days and signed 5/5
A cool return from a goalie that might be heading his way out of Ottawa soon. He signed all four cards including two set cards(11 UD & All-Goalies) for my collection nicely in black sharpie.


Jessica Eye
C/O Strong Style MMA in 145 days and signed 4/4
Been quiet on the MMA front but I was able to add these four cards to my collection. Im real happy that all of the cards came out nicely as the champions cards are notorious for streaking/smudging. She was nice enough to inscribe "evil" on one of the cards.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 10 2015, 05:08 PM

Returns I have gotten in since the last update...

Michael Adams
C/O Home in 47 days and signed 1/1
My second request to him and glad to get a success for my 1990-91 Fleer set. Im almost half way done with the set and whenever I see that someone is signing for the set I make sure to send to them as soon as possible. The card came back alittle damaged but Im just glad to get it back signed for my set.


Victor Cruz
C/O New York Giants in 186 days and signed 1/1 and included a note
An awesome success from one of the best WR's in the NFL. Its obviously rare that any current NFL stars sign TTM and I thought this one was gone when I saw that he was signing during the season. I do hope that he can come back from his injury as he seems like a genuinely good guy and someone to root for.


Aaron Kampman
C/O Home address in 41 days and signed 5/5
A great return from one of the best pass rushers in Packers history. I always enjoyed watching him play and he really worked his way up from a leat draft pick from Iowa to one of the premiere pass rushers in the NFL in his prime. I was really happy to get the Topps Total card signed and now if there is anyway I could ever get Cullen Jenkins it would be a sweet triple signed card for my Packers collection.


Thomas Vanek
C/O Home Address in 19 days and signed 4/4
A quick success from the Minnesota Wild forward. He has been a good player for a long time now and Im glad to add him to my 2011-12 UD set. Always happy to add current NHL players through home address and get them back in such a quick fashion.


Devin Setoguchi
C/O Minnesota Wild in 767 days and signed 2/2
One of the longer returns I have gotten in (alittle over two years). The Wild must have been taking care of their fanmail and Im glad to get both of these players for my 11-12 UD set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 10 2015, 05:08 PM

Been getting older Blackhawks cards for TTM purposes and have gotten three players so far...

Steve Larmer
C/O Home Address in 47 days and signed 7/7


Brent Sutter
C/O Red Deer Rebels in 50 days and signed 6/6


Keith Brown
C/O Home Address in 41 days and signed 5/5


Josh Koscheck
C/O ZinKin Entertainment in 286 days and signed 7/7
After three attempts, I finally got him for my 2011 Moment of Truth set as well as a couple of other cards signed nicely in silver.


Antonio Silva
C/O ATT Gym in 158 days and signed 7/7
I have gotten Silva in the past, but I had alot of newer cards of him that I wanted to get signed and Im happy to get them all back signed nicely with the Bigfoot inscription.


Cole Miller
C/O ATT Gym in 161 days and signed 7/7
Another return from ATT, one of the better gyms at returning fanmail. He's had an up-and-down career but I enjoy watching his fights, especially in the Ultimate Fighter. He signed all of the cards perfectly in blue sharpie, including an upgrade for my Moment of Truth set.

Posted by: GBforce12 Jul 11 2015, 03:25 PM

A big one in today!

Anderson Silva
C/O Gym in 14 days and signed 4/4
One of the bigger TTM returns I have ever gotten in, I have tried him through a bunch of different addresses and was really excited and surprised that I got all of them back signed and in just 14 days. A huge addition to my 2011 Moment of Truth set as well as my Octagon Side set. Very happy to get these signed nicely with a good Anderson Silva signature.

A couple of returns in recently....

Warrick Dunn
C/O Warrick Dunn Family Foundation in 28 days and signed 3/6
Cool success from one of the more underrated RB's of the 2000's. He has done a lot of charity work off the field and its really cool to see for once. He also enclosed a letter requesting $28.00 per signature for future requests.


Brian Campbell
C/O Home Address in 99 days and signed 3/3
A nice return for my Blackhawks collection. He was a key cog in the Blackhawks Stanley Cup run in 2010 and has been a key contributer for an up and coming Florida Panthers team.


Melvin Guillard
C/O First Round Management in 164 days and signed 6/6
Finally got a success after sending to him a couple of times in the past. Unfortunately, he signed the cards in a beat silver pen but Im just glad to get a return and its a nice addition to my 2011 Moment of Truth Set.

Update....

Rob Manfred
C/O Commissioner's Office in 38 days and signed a baseball.
Cool return from the current MLB commissioner for the price of .48 and he sent a signed baseball. Cant really beat getting a signed sweet spot baseball for one stamp and a letter.


Demarcus Ware
C/O Dallas Cowboys in 651 days and signed 2/2
One of the longest return dates I have gotten. Im very surprised that this one came back since he moved teams and he must have forwarded his mail to Denver. A very cool return from one of the best pass rushers of the decade.


Datone Jones
C/O Green Bay Packers in 360 & 591 days and signed 3/3 & 4/4 in two separate requests.
Always like getting the current Packers ttm. He's not a real good signer IP based on my experience going to training camp the past couple of years. He personalizes everything he signs which is fine with me and Im glad to get everything I have sent to him after the long waits.

Calvin Johnson
C/O Detroit Lions in 43 days and signed 4/4
A awesome success from the best WR in the NFL. This is the third time I have sent to him and Im very happy to finally get him on four cards for my collection.


Donald Driver
C/O Green Bay Packers in 40 days and signed 1/4
I saw a success on another forum getting him through the Packers address and when I saw that I sent a request to him right away and was luck enough to get him back for my Packers collection. One of my favorite Packer players of all-time.


Jordy Nelson
C/O Green Bay Packers in 396 days and signed 1/1
Sent this out about the same time last year after seeing successes and after a long wait was able to get him on a photo. Unfortunately, the photo cam back badly smeared, and I will probably send out another photo in the near future.


Three Blackhawks returns in since the last update

Troy Murray
C/O Chicago Blackhawks in 71 days and signed 7/7


Al Secord
C/O in Home Address in 77 days and signed 3/3


Michel Goulet
C/O Home Address in 22 days and signed 6/6 and included a signed 4x6 photo


Ovince Saint Preux
C/O Gym Address in 293 days and signed 4/4
A cool return from an up and coming fighter. Unfortunately, he signed the cards in back (except the card on the bottom right) and in purple. Will probably send again soon.

Cole Escovedo
C/O Pacific Martial Arts in 30 days and signed 4/4
A nice return for my 2011 Moment of Truth set. Signed both of the MOT Gold cards on the back. He was also nice enough to inscribe his nickname "The Appache Kid" on all four cards.


Mackens Semerzier
C/O LINXX Academy in 29 days and signed 2/2
Another return for my set, signed nicely in bronze sharpie with his nickname signed on the back of the cards.
