A Couple Private Signing Returns as Well as TTM

Yesterday I received two private signing returns.

I finally broke down and paid to have Eddie Murray sign his 2008 Goudey, a set I've been working on since it was released.  I'm not trying to collect the whole set, just the retired players in it.

I also added to my Twins Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter sets with a Josh Willingham signing.  He signed his 2013 Allen & Ginter and his 2013 and 2014 Topps Heritage cards.



Yesterday also brought ttm returns from Steve Blass and Chuck Essegian, 

Steve Blass signed the 1971 Pirates team card, his 1972 Topps and the 1972 Topps showing the Pirates celebrating their 1971 World Series win, and the 1973 Pirates team card.




Chuck Essegian signed the 1961 Dodgers and 1963 Indians team cards as well as his 1963 Topps card.



I also decided to buy the "Blue Pants" version of Bert Blyleven's Victory Sports bobblehead.  A couple years ago I bought the version with tan pants.


Today brought ttm returns from Ted Kubiak and Bob Veale.

Ted Kubiak signed his 1972 Topps, as well as the 1971 Brewers, 1972 and 1973 A's team cards.




Bob Veal signed his 1967 Kahn's Weiners card and 1973 Topps.  He used a ballpoint pen which was nearly invisible on the 1973 Topps, but showed up okay on the Kahn' card.  The Kahn's card was a little expensive for a ttm request, so maybe I'd should have sent it along with a blue sharpie.


As you can see, most of my requests include team cards.  I continue to try to add signatures to team cards from the sets I collect, including 1961, 1963, 1965, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975 and 1978.
