I received just one ttm return today. I have several that have been out for 10-14 days which seems to be the sweet spot for returns, so I was hoping for more.
But, I was happy to get a nice return from Tom Hutton, who signed his 1972 Topps rookie card that I received back from Rick Miller a couple weeks ago. He also signed three more cards nicely in blue sharpie. I had sent him a request back in July, so I apologized for the multiple requests and included $10 with my request.
John Milner passed away 25 years ago, so this 1972 Topps is as complete as it's going to get.
I purchased a like-new, 1966 Kansas City Athletics Year Book. It's in such nice condition, I was wondering if it was a more modern reprint or something. It would be hard to buy this at a ballpark and get it home after watching a game in this kind of condition.
Anyway, the cover has a lot of space for autographs, and despite the 66 A's not having been a great team, I decided to try to get a bunch of the players to sign it. I sent it off to Jose Tartabull today, asking for him to sign the cover, his picture by the little bio within the magazine, as well as his 1966 Topps. We'll see how this project goes.
I randomly came across my Rod Carew autographs on my web site and cringed, as I always do, when I saw both of his 1972 Topps that are signed in black sharpie. I had them signed at TwinsFest so I probably could have easily requested that they be signed in blue, but I didn't for some reason.
I decided to right this wrong and have both of them, as well as his 2008 Goudey which is also signed in black, signed in blue at an upcoming signing. I hadn't remembered that his 1972 Topps cards are in the high number series, so it won't be cheap and the cards will cost more than his autograph. I'm also finally getting his rookie card signed.
