My 2010 TTM success rate

[Applegate]

During the year of 2010 I mailed 118 TTM requests and I received back 58 successes. That is a success rate of 48.3%. Not the best but I can live with it. I got some really great signed cards back. Like some really cool signed cards of ***** League players. And a signed card of Bobby Thomson that the "baseball family" lost this year.I did send to some that I knew was a longshot on getting them back signed. Also I sent some that should have come back signed that didn't. Others here had successes with them but not me. Thats ok cause I will try again.
Here is the list of who I sent to and the successes and failures I had. The ones without a note at the end have not come back at all so there is still a chance, even though it may be slim.
How did your year go?
Thanks,
Gary

That was a very good year!
Most of your failures are the same that I did not get back, but I did get back Wade Boggs on my 2nd attempt.

 

[Applegate]

Wade Boggs is on my list to try again, hopefully I can get a signature 2nd time around like you did.

Thanks for the info, I have a couple cards ready to send now. I do need to find a 04 Topps Chrome refractor to send later. I sent him the only one I had last time.
