At the urging of another member, I though I would post some of my favorite returns from some TTM I have done with my extra Allen & Ginter Cards. I started this project after I had seen some fantastic examples from members on this site.
Here are a few:
John "Mule" Miles

Moose Skowron

Olympic Swimming & Diving - My wife and I were both competive swimmers and that is how we met.


And, a non-sports card of PT Barnum signed by the Curator of his museum.

I was surpised how ballpoint pen looks much better on the cards than a Sharpie. The rest of them, 30+, are in my bucket. Thanks for looking and I'll post some more as they come in.

Very nice. I think these cards are the best looking for getting signed. i really like the non-sports cards too. those are also fun to get autographed.
Did you have to pay for Moose and Mule? (bad Russian accent available)

Those look tremendous signed, I actually stumbled upon a post on some other site a while ago where the guy had over 100 of those signed. They looked amazing. Best of luck to you, and I hope you get as many successes as possible.

This is one I didn't expect to get back. I sent this during the postseason, and then he was traded. 124 days later it came back to me.

I can understand a shorter signature if your last name has 14 letters.

RGBII Given you have started every other set of Allen and Ginter's cards, I am surprised you haven't done this one yet. Let me know if, actually when, you do.

Amazing....
I have many signed from the Pacific Legends set 88, 89, 90, and would love to share it with you all, but I only know how to scan via camera phone

Anyway, good job on all the autos! The Feller one is my favorite.

Where do you get these addresses? I can't find them anywhere!
Amazing collection too!!!
zedsls
Apr 10 2008, 11:27 AM
To get the addresses, I go to other websites devoted to TTM collecting. I use www.sportscollectors.net and bought an address book at www.sportsaddresslists.com/.
Current players you can send care of the team's address.
