Three TTM Returns and Some Purchases

I sent Jim Nettles six cards and a blue Staedtler since you never know what kind of pen he'll use.  He signed a couple 71 Topps already signed by Hamm, and four Topps Buy Back cards from the early 70's.  I included $30 with my request although he doesn't normally charge.






Jerry Kenney signed his 1971 through 1973 Topps and a 1972 Yankees card that smeared a bit.




And Eddie Watt signed four cards in black.  Every request prior to this one was signed in blue by him so I was a little surprised to see them in black.




I bought several items from Main Line Autographs, both from their web site and via eBay, including a 2006 Allen & Ginter.  I need Morneau, Hunter and Liriano to complete the 06 Ginter Twins team set.  I also bought a Gary Sheffield card and have a couple items coming back from a mail-in signing, thinking he might make the Hall of Fame, but unfortunately, he didn't come close.





I also bought a Johnny Blanchard 8x10 which was priced for about what you'd expect for an unsigned photo, and they included a free Glenn Brummer 8x10 with my order.



I sent a couple cards in to a Chris Sabo signing, including a 1972 Rookie of the Year Award card and a 1989 Topps All-Star Rookie Trophy card.



It's going to slow down a bit as I haven't sent out many requests for a couple weeks.  Time flies, I was surprised to see how long it's been.  I will have a few returns from paid signings assuming they don't get delayed, which seems to be the norm lately.
