Yeah I used it, but there is a very limited amount that you can use for "free". I am definitely considering paying the fee to take advantage of the other resources. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

well I went ahead and took a chance just to see if Peyton would sign a couple of cards for me, they were sent out today so we will just see what happens! I sent them C/O Indianapolis Colts.

Justin

Posted by: edgerrin32 May 24 2010, 11:55 PM

Thanks for the site Justin's laugh.gif !! I signed up, man im pumped to get started!! I seen like 20-30 I could send to and that just the free ones I can look up! This looks like it could be a great and cheap hobby!

Posted by: cardcrazed May 26 2010, 03:49 PM

good luck with all your TTM's, let me know which ones are successes!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed May 27 2010, 11:56 PM

I received my first TTM today and it was from HOFer Raymond Berry. Here is what I got:

- he signed my Donrus Classics card Raymond Berry HOF 73
- he sent a promotional card signed To Justin, Raymond Berry '10
- he signed a promotional post card
- he signed a advertisement for his instructional video

I am shocked, I would have just been happy if he had signed my card! What a class act guy! Thanks for reading!

Was talking about Berry! You sent to the team address right?

Posted by: Gadsden86 May 29 2010, 05:28 PM

Nice getting him back.
Berry was probly sent to his home. I am planing on paying for the site to get more phins. Love getting stuff back.

Posted by: stlramman May 29 2010, 07:27 PM

Congrats on Berry! He is a very gracious signer.

No I sent to his home, he played for the Baltimore Colts so there really is no affiliation there. He really is very gracious, if I was his age I don't think I would be signing things if I didn't have to!

Yeah I think paying is going to be my only chance of getting more Colts addresses! For the price it seems worth it!

Saturday I received a nice surprise in the mail, Quentin Coryatt signed 2 of the cards I sent him! One of the cards he signed he inscribed to me the other he signed his name and jersey number! It took approx. 16 days to receive.

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 6 2010, 09:15 PM

Nice.

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Jun 10 2010, 12:07 PM

I received the 2 cards signed that I had sent Dallas Clark! I couldn't believe how quickly he had sent back it only took 21 days. He signed a 2004 Fleer Tradition card and a 2004 Topps Bazooka card with his name and number! I am super hyped about this!

Justin

Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Jun 10 2010, 12:42 PM

Thats cool! I love guys that respond quickly.

Very nice additions! Too bad others don't respond so quickly...

Posted by: cardcrazed Jun 12 2010, 01:19 AM

yeah I guess I just go lucky though! There are still several that I sent out at the same time and still have gotten back so just playing the waiting game now!

Justin

I wouldn't give up just yet, I mean have you seen some of whalerfan's TTM's that have take almost a year to get them back! Who was it that you sent to?

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jun 14 2010, 08:44 AM

Chris Chambers. Whalerfan said he never got his back either.

Posted by: cardcrazed Jun 14 2010, 09:05 AM

tonight I get off work and find one of the envelopes I self addressed sitting on the kitchen table so of course I get excited. I rip the envelope open and find 2 of the cards I sent to Ken Dilger (one of my favorite TE's of all time) had been signed! I am super stoked! 2/2 - 41 days!

I just want to thank all of you for getting me interested in TTM's! This is definitely an exciting aspect of this hobby I love! I would have never known about TTM's without TCC!

Justin

Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Jul 10 2010, 09:17 AM

Awesome success. I'm really getting into TTM's even more now.

Here is the info straight from the Giants website....

From our experience, the best time to obtain autographs from players is during training camp each year. Aside from the annual "Meet the Giants" event, which allows for fans to obtain autographs, players do spend several minutes each day signing autographs on their return from practice.

If you're unable to make it up to camp, then you may wish to send the item you wish to have autographed, along with appropriate return postage, to the individual player at Giants Stadium AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE GIANTS ORGANIZATION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS SENT TO PLAYERS, INCLUDING THOSE TO BE AUTOGRAPHED. FURTHERMORE, SHIPPING AN ITEM TO A PLAYER DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PLAYER WILL SIGN AND RETURN IT.

Again, the best time to obtain autographs and confirm it's authenticity is to get them directly from the player(s) and we find that training camp is the best time to do that.

If you would still like to ship an item to be autographed, please send it along with return postage to:

New York Football Giants
ATTN: (Player's Name)
Giants Stadium
East Rutherford, NJ 07073

Thank you,

Giants.com

Posted by: cardcrazed Jul 13 2010, 11:41 AM

Thank you! I will definitely give that a try!

Posted by: ronaldinho0003 Jul 23 2010, 03:17 PM

Tony Dungy

Good luck!

I am super stoked!!!! Today I ended my TTM drought, in the mailbox I found to of my envelopes the first one:

Jacob Tamme - 1/1 - 48 days he signed his name and number very nice!

now for the second one:

Peyton Manning - 1/1 - 20 days! I sent this to the Peyback Foundation!

If I never receive anymore TTM's I will be happy (I sure hope I keep getting them though)! Thanks for reading this and if it sounds crazy I am sorry I am just super excited!!!

Justin

Posted by: edgerrin32 Aug 6 2010, 12:21 AM

Sweet! I need to get some out but need the money to do it right! wink.gif

Well I am 0-4 with Peyton. Sending to him today,enclosed $10.00 for good luck this time laugh.gif

Posted by: cardcrazed Aug 8 2010, 02:21 AM

I still have 2 out that I sent to the stadium, so its possible if he signs those that I could end up with 3 autos (crossing my fingers)! Good luck, hope the $$$$ works in your favor!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Aug 16 2010, 04:10 PM

Today I received my Topps mayo helmet (Colts) card signed by Tony Dungy! 1/1 - 19 days! Very cool!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Aug 20 2010, 07:56 AM

Great success. I have seen Peyton sign from the stadium. I think most of the ones from the peyback are pre signed by him and they send them out as they get requests. Just seems to be a very quick turnaround for him to sign as they come in. Also see they are alot of 5x7's given even if you sent an item.

Posted by: cardcrazed Aug 21 2010, 01:26 AM

Thanks! I am just glad he signed the card I sent! I would have waited a year for it!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Aug 22 2010, 09:57 AM

yesterday I received one of my envelopes in the mail! It just happened to be from one of my favorite QB's of all-time Jim Harbaugh! He signed 2 of the cards that I sent to him, I am super excited!

Jim Harbaugh - 2/2 - 79 days (the longest I have had to wait so far)

Justin

Posted by: whalerfan Aug 23 2010, 01:31 PM

Congrats on the reply from Captain Comeback! You've been really spoiled if 79 days is your longest wait - ah just having fun with you...

today I received another envelope:

Adam Vinatieri 1/1 - 65 days!

Gotta love kicker mail!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 4 2010, 12:54 PM

I kind of thought I wouldn't get this back but I received a little envelope with a pretty big surprise! I sent two different Topps Total cards (they have three players on them Tarik Glenn, Jeff Saturday, and Ryan Diem) to Jeff Saturday Pro Bowl Center for MY COLTS to see if he would sign. Not only did he sign the cards but he also had Ryan Diem sign them as well so I am super pumped about this TTM!

Jeff Saturday (Ryan Diem as well) 2/2 - 99 days

Justin

Posted by: whalerfan Oct 5 2010, 11:45 AM

Nice additions - well worth the wait!

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 6 2010, 12:17 AM

thanks I was pretty excited!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 17 2010, 12:10 AM

a nice quick surprise was waiting for me today in the mailbox. Colts Rookie LB Pat Angerer signed his epix RC that I sent him. I am pretty excited since it only took 7 days! By the way have I said yet how much I love TTM's!

Pat Angerer 1/1 - 7 days!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Oct 21 2010, 09:08 PM

Great returns. Sending out a few more tomorrow or saturday. Havent gotten many back as of late just the one but need to send more out.

Posted by: edgerrin32 Oct 21 2010, 11:04 PM

WOW some sweet returns since I last checked!! Congrats.

I need to get around to sending some out. tongue.gif

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 31 2010, 01:25 PM

I received another TTM surprise this week, Jeff George signed 2 cards for me and also included a custom card of his own! Pretty sweet, he inscribed them "best wishes and GO COLTS"!

Jeff George - 92 days 3/3 (1 custom)

Justin













Posted by: cardcrazed Dec 20 2010, 10:13 PM

received an envelope in the mail and what a way to end this long drought, it was my second envelope from Peyton Manning! I asked him to sign a white bordered Topps Turkey Red card.........awesome!

Peyton Manning - 1/1 12 days

Justin

Posted by: edgerrin32 Dec 20 2010, 11:19 PM

Do you have a pic??? cool.gif

Big congrats! I still want to get one to him. Maybe 2. tongue.gif And which addy did you use? The colts or the Peyback?

Posted by: cardcrazed Dec 20 2010, 11:35 PM

Thanks, I have sent to both but have only had success with Peyback address. You should try it!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Dec 31 2010, 03:38 AM

I received an envelope in the mail today inside were the 2 cards I sent to Curtis Painter! I am pretty excited to get something back from the back up QB!

Curtis Painter - 2/2 - 15 days!

Posted by: edgerrin32 Dec 31 2010, 09:17 AM

Sweet!

Posted by: cardcrazed Jan 3 2011, 05:07 PM

I got a well anticipated envelope today! Colts first round draft pick and future sack master Jerry Hughes!

Jerry Hughes - 1/1 - 18 days!

Justin

Posted by: edgerrin32 Jan 3 2011, 06:09 PM

Sweet.

I was thinking about trying Javarris James! Before he gets to big like some players, where they don't want to sign because they can get paid to do it. wink.gif

Posted by: cardcrazed Jan 6 2011, 10:23 PM

you might want to hurry while he is still on the roster, with Addai,Brown,Rhodes and Hart its not out of the picture that he might get cut. With the way that Rhodes is playing he looks like a solid #2 RB! As soon as I heard that we signed Rhodes I sent to the team the next day!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Jan 10 2011, 10:24 PM

Today I received an envelope from RB Dominic Rhodes, The thing that makes this TTM even more special is that he was re-signed during the season so he hasn't been with the team that long and he got to my envelope pretty quick!

Dominic Rhodes - 2/2 - 26 days

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Jan 10 2011, 11:18 PM

great return.

Gino Marchetti - 1/1 6 days!

Justin

Posted by: edgerrin32 Feb 22 2011, 11:42 PM

Very nice last to returns! I just found a Rhodes card, might be my only one! And I went out and bought silver sharpies to send with each request (I love the silver ink)! So here soon I hope to get rolling. wink.gif So much to do so little time. blink.gif

Posted by: cardcrazed Feb 24 2011, 02:29 AM

what are you waiting for.......hurry up and send it!!!!!! laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif , yeah Rhodes is a cool auto to have, for some reason I just really like his signature. Good luck!

Justin

Posted by: edgerrin32 Feb 24 2011, 07:21 AM

Today I received an envelope from HOFer Eric Dickerson! Very awesome he signed the card in silver marker! I am super excited about that TTM! Now for my first rejection, I got my envelopes and cards back from safety Mike Doss! The envelope had a big REFUSED written on it!

Eric Dickerson - 1/2 11 days!
Mike Doss - 0/2 10 days! Refused!

Justin

Posted by: whalerfan Mar 1 2011, 12:37 PM

Killer return from Dickerson, sure makes up for Doss...

Posted by: stlramman Mar 1 2011, 06:16 PM

Nice Dickerson success! Could you pm me the address?

Posted by: Gadsden86 Mar 4 2011, 08:57 PM

wow nice on the dickerson i'd love the addy too if you dont mind.

Posted by: rnpurdue Mar 7 2011, 04:14 PM

Great return on the Dickerson. Super nice guy. Met him in the ER with his girlfriend here in Katy, TX (about 15 miles from Sealy where he is from). Signed a football for me, personalized it also. Did you get his TX or CA address?

Posted by: cardcrazed Mar 8 2011, 08:46 AM

Thanks everyone! I sent to the HOF address, if you do send to him only send 1 card or item because I sent 2 cards and only got 1 back. Good Luck!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Mar 10 2011, 04:09 AM

envelope sent back:

Joe Theismann
C/O J.R.T Associates, INC.
5661 Columbia Pike Suite 200
Falls Church, VA 22041

This is the address I got from the free section of sportscollectors, if any one has a better one I would appreciate it!

Justin

Posted by: edgerrin32 Mar 10 2011, 07:07 AM

Congrats on the Dickerson!! cool.gif

As for the Doss, send I package back saying you now refuse to buy a jersey with his name on it!! wink.gif

Posted by: rnpurdue Mar 10 2011, 10:17 AM

Joe Theismann
P.O. Box 186
Leesburg, VA 20178

Asking for $10 donation to St. Jude. This CAN BE written off on taxes if sent by check and St. Judes charity is written in the Memo line. Just keep a copy of the cancelled check. Joe has a 100% success rate when sending the $10.

I have noticed the bigger name players (including HOFers) are requesting a small donation when asking for their sigs. Almost all keep it under the $50 limit (for some reason the IRS has strickter (?) rules for cash donations over $50) Outrageuos examples:
Stan Musial: $65
Drew Brees $200 blink.gif

Hope this helps.

Posted by: cardcrazed Mar 10 2011, 11:14 AM

Thank you! I will probably do that, got a nice Notre Dame card I would like him to sign!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Mar 13 2011, 09:03 AM

Yesterday I received an envelope back from Reggie Brooks, he was a member of the 1992 Irish team, he split carries with Jerome Bettis! More impressive than that is that he averaged 8 yards a carry and ran for 1300 yards! Pretty excited to get this card back signed!

Reggie Brooks - 1/1 - 6 days

Justin

Posted by: rnpurdue Mar 13 2011, 04:36 PM

Nice return. Here is another Golden Domer for you:

Paul Hornung

Wants a $35 donation. 100% success rate and quick turnaround with donation. Good luck!

Lou Holtz - 0/2 - 19 days

Today I received two of my envelopes! The first one is from legendary Notre Dame QB and 1947 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Lujack! He is considered one of the greatest collegiate T-Formation QB's of all time! He signed his name and inscribed "Heisman '47" without being asked! The second envelope I wouldn't have received without help from RNPurdue! This envelope was from former Notre Dame QB Rick Mirer! He also quarterbacked for the Seatle Seahawks. Very hyped about this TTM mail day!

Today I received an envelope from Marc Edwards. He played fullback for Notre Dame from 1993-96. He was drafted by the 49ers and played for browns,patriots and bears! I was really praying this would be succesful so I'm pretty hyped! If you get a chance to you should check out his videos on youtube! He was a beast!

Marc Edwards - 2/2 - 18 days!

Justin

Solid return! Did you use this address: 6426 Autumn Crest Court - Westerville, OH 43082? Thanks in advance...

Posted by: cardcrazed Apr 25 2011, 08:55 PM

Thanks! To be honest I don't remember, but the envelope is postmarked from Florida if that helps any! I got the address off of sportscollectors.net.

Justin

Rick Volk - 2/2 - 4 days!!! (he must have been waiting for it)

Justin

Today I received an envelope from Jim Lynch. He was an All-American Linebacker for Notre Dame from 1964-1966. Very cool auto he inscribed the card "Go Irish" and "N.D. '67". He also included one of his own cards autographed! I love TTM days!

Jim Lynch - 2/1 - 5 days!

Saturday I noticed there was an envelope waiting for me when I got off of work! It was from former Colts linebacker Duane Bickett!!! Bickett was the Colts first round draft pick in 1985 and also named defensive rookie of the year! I had my doubts I would get this back before I ever sent it out but looks like I was wrong! Very happy with this return!

Duane Bickett - 2/2 - 17 days!

Thank you! Yeah you can't get them back if you don't send them out! I was wondering if Edgerrin James signs stuff, would like to send him something!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed May 11 2011, 11:51 AM

Well I was pretty excited when I got an envelope in the mail and I saw the "MT" initials in the upper left hand corner of the envelope! It was from current linebacker for the Fighting Irish Manti Te'o!!!! Upon further examination he signed the toploader...........oh well I guess it adds character to my collection! Still excited, I just put it in a team bag to protect it.

Manti Te'o - 1/1 - 14 days (he does have a pretty cool autograph)

Justin


Posted by: gregorium May 13 2011, 05:10 PM

Better than nothing! At least you are sure he signs and can try again without the toploader.

Today I received 2 envelopes! The first one is from George Kunz All American Tackle from Notre Dame. Kunz was drafted by the Falcons with their 1st round pick (#2 overall), he later played 5 years with the Baltimore Colts. He inscribed this card Co-Captain '68, very sweet! The second envelope is from Anthony Johnson former RB for ND and a 2nd round draft selection by the Indianapolis Colts in 1990! In 1989 he scored 11 TD's for the Irish! Now he is now a Minister for the Jaguars. Another pretty cool auto! Overall a very nice TTM day, I am super excited to end the cold streak!

Yesterday I went to Churchill to try my luck with the ponies(no such luck). After I blew all my money I got the idea I would like to try and grab an auto of some of my favorite jockeys. So after the 8th race I sprint from my seat down to where the jockeys leave the track, so I get a good spot along the wall and am asking the jockeys as they walk by but most are just giving me looks like I'm crazy until I hear this voice say "Buddy I'll sign your ticket", it was none other than Calvin Borel my favorite Jockey!!!! I was super excited that he signed my losing ticket! Just thought I would share my awesome experience at the track!

Justin

Posted by: whalerfan Jun 6 2011, 01:30 PM

Nice additions, also with the crazy talkin' Borel!

Posted by: cardcrazed Jun 6 2011, 07:38 PM

Thank you! Well today brought another envelope and am really excited about this return! This envelope is from Bryant Young former Defensive Lineman from Notre Dame! Bryant led the team in sacks all 4 years! He was a 1st round draft pick in 1994 by the 49ers! Currently he is a DL coach at the University of Florida (that is where I sent to). Very nice ND auto for the collection!

Bryant Young - 2/2 - 9 days!

Hey, Ive never really done ttm but im plannin on sending some out. Im curious, where do you get the addresses? do u just look up the team address online?

Posted by: Granderson28 Jun 7 2011, 12:48 PM

Also how do you send them? like what do you use, a bubble mailer?

Granderson,
there is a great thread at the top of TTM Addresses and Successes called "TTM collecting 101" It will answer all of your questions, it did mine!

RNpurdue,
Keep your head up! If you send them they will come! I still have about 20 out there so we will just have to see!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Jun 10 2011, 12:19 PM

Today I received 2 envelopes! The first envelope is from Bill Fischer Offensive Lineman for the Irish from 1945-48, he was a 1st round draft pick by the Chicago Cardinals in 1949! The second envelope is from rnpurdue, he sent me a Bubba Smith (in the colts uni) TTM card! Thank you very much buddy I greatly appreciate it! So as you can see it was a truly awesome TTM day!

Bill Fischer - 2/2- 13 days!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Jun 30 2011, 12:16 PM

Today I finally received an envelope! It was from Jim O'Brien kicker for the Baltimore Colts. Jim kicked the game winning FG in Superbowl V against the Dallas Cowboys! Awesome addition to the TTM collection! Hopefully this is a start to some more coming in........

Jim O'Brien - 1/1 - 7 days!

Justin

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Aug 1 2011, 04:17 PM

Today I come home to find 2 of my self addressed envelopes waiting for me. The first one (and I was super excited when I saw this one because I had forgotten about it) was from Golden Tate WR for the Irish and The Seattle Seahawks! The next envelope was from Tim Grunhard OL for the Irish and drafted by the Chiefs. This was truly an awesome TTM day considering I thought everyone I sent to had lost my address!!!!

Golden Tate - 2/2 - 160 days!
Tim Grunhard - 1/2 - 30 days!

Justin

Delone Carter - 1/1 - 9 days!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Aug 26 2011, 12:55 AM

well I hope the streak continues! Today I received an envelope from former Baltimore Colts RB Don McCauley! McCauley was a 1st round draft pick in 1971. In 2001 he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Very lucky to have gotten this back due to the fact that the envelope was open and it looked like someone had ran over it with a lawnmower!!!

Don McCauley - 2/2 - 57 days

well I hope this definitely continues! Today I received 2 more envelopes The first one is from Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould! I am doing a TTM collection for my brother who is a huge Bears fan so I thought this would be cool to try and get some autos and then send him a big package. The second envelope is from Colts WR Austin Collie!!!! I am super hyped about this return because I doubted I would ever see that envelope again! Overall I would say a very good TTM day for me!

Robbie Gould - 1/1 - 92 days
Austin Collie - 2/2 - 272 days (my longest wait so far)

yesterday I came home from work with 2 more envelopes waiting for me! The first envelope was from former Notre Dame offensive lineman Bob Kuechenberg! Bob was a 4th round draft pick by Philadelphia but soon quit before training camp, soon after quitting he signed with the Miami Dolphins. The next envelope was from former Notre Dame Kicker John Carney! Carney is a Pro Bowl kicker who has spent his NFL career with teams such as: Saints, Bucs, Chargers, Rams, Giants, Chiefs, Bengals and Jaguars. Overall a very nice ND TTM day in my opinion! Thanks for reading!

John Carney - 2/2 - 140 days
Bob Kuechenberg - 1/1 - 9 days! (Bob inscribed and signed both sides of the card, pretty cool!)

Justin

Posted by: rnpurdue Sep 4 2011, 12:28 PM

Good pick-ups. BTW, now is the time to acquire Dallas Clark if you need him.

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 5 2011, 12:35 PM

Thanks! He was the first person I ever sent to, and one of my favorite TTM successes! His turnaround is awesome, I think it only took like 9 days or something! I tried Tommie Harris and Dan Orlovsky while camp was still going on but now that they have been cut I doubt I will ever see those again.......

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 5 2011, 06:51 PM

hate that. I sent to a few guys and seen some returns but none for me. gonna go back to retired guys.

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 6 2011, 01:08 PM

I guess thats just the nature of the TTM beast! I've been lucky that the Colts are pretty good about TTM's, I however have not had much luck sending to other teams and having any kind of reliable success! Golden Tate is the only one so far from another team that has sent back so.........

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 12 2011, 11:54 PM

Today I received 2 of my envelopes! The first envelope was from Jack Trudeau! Jack was a former QB for the Colts! He was a 2nd round draft pick in 1986, and later selected in the 1995 expansion draft by the Carolina Panthers. Probably best known for the "Graduation Party Incident". The second envelope was from Roy Hall, former WR and 5th round draft pick of the Colts! Roy is currently a member of the Omaha Nighthawks in the UFL. I sent this card to the Nighthawks stadium. Overall a nice TTM day, one I almost thought I wouldn't have!

Jack Trudeau - 1/1 - 100 days!
Roy Hall - 1/1 - 45 days!

Justin

Well today I received an envelope that I had actually forgot about, it was from former ND TE Irv Smith! Smith was a 1st round draft pick by the Saints in 1993. He also played for the 49ers and Browns. In my opinion a very nice mail surprise!

Irv Smith - 2/2 - 131 days!

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 17 2011, 12:27 PM

Thanks! Yeah I sent and received from Volk a couple of months ago, his auto looks really nice on those older cards! Thanks for the lookout though I appreciate it! Im always interested in any former Colts you come across!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 18 2011, 04:50 PM

no prob did you ever send to willie richardson? Also Tony Furjanic is a great guy and quick return former ND guy.

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 19 2011, 12:59 PM

I sent to Willie but still haven't received it back its probably been a month or 2, haven't sent to Tony. Was thinking I would try to find a card of Tony and then send it.

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 19 2011, 04:46 PM

He only has 1 card and it is in the ND set.

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 22 2011, 12:35 PM

Today I received 2 of my envelopes back! The first envelope is from Willie Richardson (Justin - I guess he must have heard you talking about him), he was a WR for the Baltimore Colts from 1963-1969. He is also a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. The next envelope is from Blair White, current WR for the Colts and former WR for Michigan State University. Very solid TTM day and as always very excited to add these to my collection!

Willie Richardson - 2/2 - 53 days!
Blair White - 1/1 - 8 days!

Justin

Posted by: Gadsden86 Sep 24 2011, 02:20 PM

Funny i asked then you got him back. Glad you did. Great former player.

Posted by: cardcrazed Sep 25 2011, 10:31 AM

Yesterday I received one of my envelopes for the Bears project I am doing for my brother. This envelope was from Jim Mcmahon, former Bears QB from 1982-88. So far this makes card #2 of the project, pretty slow going but still sending em out!

Jim Mcmahon - 1/1 - 8 days!

rnpurdue,
Thank you!

Well today I received another envelope, this envelope is from current starting safety for the Irish Harrison Smith! Smith is a solid safety who is projected anywhere from the 3rd to 5th round of next years draft! Very excited to get this card back as it is only my 2nd one from current Irish players! He also signed in silver sharpie so it looks extremely nice!

Harrison Smith - 1/1 - 10 days!

Justin

Posted by: cardcrazed Oct 15 2011, 11:36 AM

Today I received an envelope from former Colts RB Mike Hart! Mike was a 6th round draft pick by the Colts in 2008. Mike is currently an assistant coach at the University of Eastern Michigan. Pretty excited to have this former Colt in the collection!

Mike Hart - 2/2 - 14 days!

Justin

Cato June - 1/1 - 81 days!

Justin

Posted by: rnpurdue Oct 25 2011, 03:16 PM

Wow, Cato June in the UFL. What a fall from grace. He was a Pro Bowler with the Colts, I believe. Nice pick-up. I wish his teammate Crouch would send me his pic I sent him.

Posted by: Gadsden86 Oct 25 2011, 10:05 PM

Maybe i made one of Jermaine wiggins when i was going to meet him. I didnt have him sign it oh well.

Posted by: cardcrazed Nov 1 2011, 09:24 PM

Well today was a good TTM day for me! I received 2 of my envelopes, The first envelope is from Colt's Head Coach Jim Caldwell! The second envelope is from Baltimore Colts Safety Jerry Logan! Jerry played safety in the league for 10 years, he played along side Rick Volk and helped lead the team to a Super Bowl V victory! I'm super pumped about these successes!

Jim Caldwell - 1/1- 11 days
Jerry Logan - 1/1 - 7 days

Justin

Posted by: rnpurdue Nov 2 2011, 08:58 PM

Who is this Jim Caldwell you speak of? Isn't he in the running for Coach of the Year? laugh.gif I honestly think Manning is the MVP of the league. The Colts being 0-8 have proven he is.

Posted by: cardcrazed Nov 4 2011, 01:10 AM

Well this has been a pretty good week for me as far as TTM's are concerned! Today I received 2 more envelopes, the first envelope is from Cotton Speyrer. Cotton was a WR for the Baltimore Colts and Miami Dolphins. The next envelope is from Renaldo Wynn! Wynn is a former DE from Notre Dame. He was a 1st round draft pick in 1997 by the Jaguars. I sent this card to the Omaha Nighthawks. The envelope is post marked from Las Vegas so not sure if that is where he lives or what but I assume he was cut or released from the Nighthawks.

Nice return on the Irish coach!

Today I go out to the mailbox only to stumble over a photo mailer on my porch! This mailer was from Ned Bolcar, former linebacker and captain of the 1988 national championship Fighting Irish team! Ned was a 6th round pick by the seahawks! Not only did Ned sign my card but he also sent me an inscribed 8X10 and paid for the shipping as well!!! May not be the biggest name success but it will go down as one of my favorites! Awesome Day!

Ned Bolcar - 1/1 (and an 8X10) - 16 days!

Justin

Double WOWSERS, todays trip to the mailbox was well worth it! Today I received 2 of my envelopes back! The first envelope is from Rex Kern! Rex played QB at Ohio State and Defensive Back for the Baltimore Colts! Rex is also a member of the College Hall of Fame! The second envelope is in my eyes a miracle because I figured when I sent it that I had no chance of getting it back, but not only did I get my card back but got it back signed! This envelope is from Rudy Ruettiger, thats right "RUDY"! Rudy was a walk on for the 1975 team when he made his famous last play sack of the QB! Rudy is only the second player to ever be carried off the field for ND. Rudy is now a motivational speaker. Sorry for ranting but I'm just pretty excited about this day!

Rex Kern - 1/1 - 17 days
Rudy Ruettiger - 1/1 - 10 days (I had him sign his Allen&Ginter card)

Finally I got an envelope back! Today I received an envelope from Tyler Eifert, current TE for my Fighting Irish! Tyler is projected as a 2nd round pick if he decides to come out. Analysts have said if he stays in school he would be a 1st rounder! He is gonna be a stud in the NFL! I am very excited to get this card back!

Tyler Eifert - 1/1 - 22 days!

Posted by: cardcrazed Dec 19 2011, 05:56 PM

Today I got a very nice and forgot about envelope! Todays success is from one of my favorite slot receivers and former Colt of all time, Brandon Stokley!!!! I sent this card to the Denver Broncos back in February and just totally forgot about it! This is truly a great Christmas present!

Today was probably one of my best TTM days as far as number of envelopes goes! The first envelope is from former ND QB Daryle Lamonica! Not only was Lamonica the starting QB but he also served as the punter for 3 years with a 37.2 yard average! The second envelope is from argueably the biggest NFL Draft bust in the history of the NFL and also a member of the Colts Tony Mandarich! An all american offensive lineman from Michigan St. and #2 pick in the 1989 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers! Tony played for the Colts in 1998. The third envelope is from current ND linebacker David Posluszny! David is a solid special teamer who is slated to get more Linebacker action this year, David's brother Paul is currently a linebacker for the Buffalo Bills! The Fourth envelope is probably my favorite because it is for my brothers Bear's TTM collection that I am doing for him, this envelope is from current Bear's WR Johnny Knox! Overall I think this is a killer TTM day and I am super hyped about it!

Daryle Lamonica - 1/1 - 8 days!
Tony Mandarich - 1/1 - 12 days!
David Posluszny - 1/1 - 93 days!
Johnny Knox - 1/1 - 219 days!

Today brought more TTM goodies! The first envelope was from Anthony Castonzo! Castonzo was the Colts 2011 1st round draft pick and currently starts on the offensive line. Super excited about this return! The second envelope was from Derek Landri! Landri is a former defensive tackle for Notre Dame and is currently on the Philadelphia Eagles roster! Overall I think I did pretty good, I was surprised to get the Landri back due to the fact that I haven't had good success sending to the Eagles!

Derek Landri - 1/1 - 46 days!

Today was a 2 envelope kind of day! The first envelope was from former ND safety Pat Terrell! Pat was a 2nd round draft pick in 1990 by the Los Angeles Rams! I counted this one as a goner just due to other successes I had seen from him as being pretty quick. The next envelope may go down as my all time favorite, not because he is famous but because he is from my hometown and more specifically one street over from where I lived for 24 years! This envelope is from former Baltimore Colts tackle Sam Ball!!! Sam was a 1st round draft pick by the colts in 1966! He also played in and won Super Bowl V! Overall extremely happy about this mail day!

Pat Terrell - 2/2 - 275 days!
Sam Ball - 1/1- 4 days!!! (my quickest return, he signed my 1967 Philadelphia colts team card)

Clarence is a former 2 time pro bowl WR/KR for the Colts! He played for the Colts from 1988-1993. I love coming home from work to find TTM's waiting for me!
