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.

[redwing40]

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

[GBforce12]

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!

[GBforce12]

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.

[GBforce12]

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.

[redwing40]

Nice stuff, Congrats on your TTM's!

[GBforce12]

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.

[jackthecowboy22]

sweet stuff

[GBforce12]

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.

[whalerfan]

Nice return from Backstrom.

[GBforce12]

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.

[GBforce12]

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.

[GBforce12]

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.

[artyman60]

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

[GBforce12]

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!

[GBforce12]

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.

[GBforce12]

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.

[GBforce12]

Forgot about this one...

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

[cardcrazed]

Great looking returns! Congrats and keep sending em out!

Justin

[GBforce12]

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.
