Ron Hansen, Bill Mazeroski and Joel Skinner TTM Returns - Randy Jones and David Festa Signing Returns

The week has been a bit slow, but I received some great returns today.

Ron Hansen signed his 1960 rookie card, copy number three or four of a 1961 Orioles team card, a 1962 Post and his 1971 Topps nicely in blue sharpie.  The team card was already signed by Jack Fisher, who signed it about a year ago at a mail-in signing.  I'm not sure what took me so long to send it out again.

Mr. Hansen is only 87 years old.  Young, compared to many of the other players I have sent to recently.

Signing-machine Bill Mazeroski signed my second Grand Slam print very nicely with the blue sharpie I included (or at least one that was still providing a strong signature).

I am loving these prints.  I have several more out ttm and to signings and hope to send out at least a couple more in tomorrow's mail.

He also signed his 1962 Post and 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces.  I included $20 for the print, and $10 for each of the cards. 

I have been sending to Mazeroski at a pretty furious pace the last couple of years.  I have all of his regular Topps cards from 1957 to 1972, except his 1968 and 1969 Topps, which I bought but can't find right now.  Those aren't my favorite sets and don't usually send them out, but those are next on my list to send to him so I can have his complete Topps run.  

I also have a bunch of team cards, inserts, a Kahn's, some Ginters, etc.  53 signed cards in all.  I sent my first ttm to him in August of 2004, when he wasn't quite so automatic, all the way up through this return today.  I wonder if he recognizes my name on my sase's by now. :-)

Joel Skinner finished off my second copy of the 1985 Topps Father/Son card.  He also signed a few other late '80s cards for me nicely in blue sharpie.

Tom Orr got six Randy Jones cards signed for me.  This signing was a long time coming.  I can't remember exactly when it was originally supposed to occur, but I mailed my cards at the end of January.  I tried Mr. Jones ttm once, back in 2023 and didn't get a response.  He was pretty reliable just prior to that, and very spotty since.  So, when I saw this signing, I decided to just get all my set cards signed.

Finally, I received a David Festa 2025 Topps Heritage back from a Fan HQ signing.  With this return, they also returned my 2013 Topps Heritage Justin Morneau card.  The one I sent in for his signing got smudged, so they mailed Justin another one for me.  I have always been happy with Fan HQ signings.  I wish their store was closer to me, but it's about a 45-minute drive, so I rarely go there.  It's not on the way for my usual out of town drives either.
