Dawson, Pascual and Skinner TTM Returns

Despite having sent to them recently, I sent another request to both Camilo Pascual and Bob Skinner, because I wanted to get their 1955 Topps Double Header cards done.  Both of them are the "Short" player on the card, meaning they are viewed by folding the card in half, and their upper body and head fit onto the same legs as the other player on the card.  Ted Kazanski, who I received back on Saturday, was the "tall" player on his card.

Pascual signed his nicely, probably with the pen I included.  Oddly, he also signed the front and back of his 1958 Topps and a 1964 Topps Pitching Leaders card.  It looks like he screwed up a bit on the Leaders card, but oh well.  I included that card to complete what I think is his entire Topps run, including multi-player cards.



Bob Skinner also appears to have used the pen I sent and also signed his 1958 Topps and a 1962 Post.



Finally, I received another Grand Slam print back, this time from Andre Dawson.  I have 7-8 more of these out ttm and to signings.

It was a very odd day for the mail.  In addition to the packages for these three ttm returns, which were all tracked, I was supposed to receive 7+ pieces of mail, including 2 ttm sases, according to my Informed Delivery email.  These packages were left at my door, instead of the community mailbox down the street, which leads me to believe the person delivering them didn't have keys to the community box.  I eventually received the email from USPS stating that my mail had been delivered, but there is nothing more in my mailbox.  Hopefully, it gets delivered tomorrow.
