Billy Sample and Bob Saverine TTM Returns

I received two ttm successes today, and also a couple purchases.

Billy Sample was kind enough to sign four cards for me nicely in blue sharpie.  The 79 Topps will be off to Pat Putnam to be completed.  I like the 79 Topps set, but the Prospects cards are pretty awful.  I have no idea why they decided to use black and white pictures.  It looks pretty awful.  Mr. Sample also included a signed and personalized photocopied picture for me.

I was pretty confused about this Bob Saverine return.  I just received another return about a month ago.  I had forgotten to log one of my requests to him in February which resulted in a duplicate request going out.  Unfortunately, Mr. Saverine always uses a fine black marker that often smears and at its best, it's just not very consistent.  I think I'll just live with these since I don't want to spend the money to send him a sharpie with the associated postage costs.  I really appreciate that he such a generous signer, but I wonder if he doesn't notice that most of his signatures get smeared.

Here are some previous returns from him.

I also bought a couple signed bobbleheads including Justin Morneau on a New Britain bobblehead and Maury Wills on a Fargo/Moorhead Red Hawks bobblehead.  Each of these are J.S.A. authenticated.

I haven't sent out many requests so the ttm returns may slow down quite a bit.  I do have several mail-in signings that I participated in that should be returned the rest of this month.
