Two More Hall of Famers for my 1972 Topps Set

The day after a postal holiday is usually a pretty good day for ttm returns, and today was no exception.

First, I got back a few items from some signings at Jim and Steve's.  Tony Perez signed a ball and a 1972 Topps.

And Billy Williams signed a 1972 Topps.

I also received a couple of ttm successes.  Willie Tasby signed a 1961 Topps for me.  Tasby has been a pretty tough autograph to get, but has been responding through the mail this year.  A fellow SCN member clued me in and helped me get this success.

Bill Melton signed a 1971, 1972, and 1973 Topps as well as his 1972 Topps In Action card.

This brings my 1972 set total to 64, or 16% of my goal of 400 signed cards.

I also received a couple of unsigned cards I bought on Ebay including a 1972 Topps Carlton Fisk (his rookie card), and a 1972 Topps Jim Kaat.


My older son received a 1958 Topps signed by Art Ditmar.

Unfortunately, I need to move my desk, computer, printer and scanner as we're starting work on remodeling our kitchen, and my desk is in the basement where they'll need to be doing a lot of plumbing work.  Hopefully I can get set up so I can still record my successes and send out more requests.

Some 1965 Topps And Another HOF Baseball

I was out of town for a few days this week and came home to some nice items waiting for me.


I sent in a ball and 1965 Topps to Jim and Steve's to be signed by Billy Williams, as well as a 1965 Topps for Ron Santo.  All items came back in great shape.

I also got back another 2008 Goudey, this time signed by Fred Lynn.  I had sent this in to a paid signing being run by an SCN contact.

My son also got back some items this week. I'll post those later.

Billy Williams Return

Today I received a 2008 Goudey I sent in to Jim & Steve's to be signed by Billy Williams. I have sent several items in to their signings and have been happy with the results of every one of them.

I received a bunch of my Sportlots.com orders today in preparation of TwinsFest. I also received a Delmon Young bobblehead and a bunch of 8x10 pictures I bought on eBay.
