No ttm returns today, but I added another Hall of Famer to my collection with a Billy Wagner 2009 Topps Heritage purchase form a fellow SCN (sportscollectors.net) member.
I sent off the last of the mail-in signings I've committed to, so I just need to sit back and wait from them to start rolling in. Most of them occur the weekend of February 22 with a few in early March. 20 signings in all! I really need to back off or I'm going to go broke. I'm pretty excited to get these back though. There will be a lot to help fill holes in or upgrade my 1972 Topps set.
A couple are outside the U.S. with a promoter traveling around to visit players at their homes. The timing of these is always difficult to predict so you just have to be patient. A few U.S.-based ones are another promoter who has a relationship with some players but it's very informal, and he will try to align schedules as he travels and hopes that by the time he's in the player's town, they still feel like signing. These are players that don't normally sign their mail or do public signings, so getting their autographs is pretty difficult.
I have a few bobbleheads out to these signings, but it's mostly cards. For some signings, I sent in a single card, and for others, I sent in 10 (when the pricing favors getting more signed). I probably have about 50 cards out and four bobbleheads.

That's a really cool card. I love Billy Wagner, and would've been really annoyed had he not made it into Cooperstown this year.
