Decided to do some TTM with some extras I have. Got back my first return today (10 day turn around):
John Robert Stefero is a former Major League Baseball catcher. He played parts of three seasons in the majors between 1983 and 1987 for the Baltimore Orioles and the Montreal Expos.
The guy only has 9 total cards listed on Beckett. Maybe I should try to become a SUPER COLLECTOR on him, as I have 44% of his stuff already, LOL. And the other 5 cards would be fairly easy to obtain I would think. Oh well, here is a success, took 10 days. Sent in care of the Toyota dealership that he is the GM of. Thanks for the look, Tony.

Claude Osteen back in 7 days. Now the coach's card is off to Hank King (former scout) to sign. Might also have to send the pic off to Bill Singer.
Del Unser came back in 7 days, and in addition to the cards he signed, he answered my letter asking if he would sign the Phillies coaching staff card. His response was "Happy to sign it, Del". So when the card comes back from Hank King, it will be off to Mr. Unser.

Received Tom Veryzer back in 15 days
Received Al Hrabosky back in 4 days, and he switched pens while signing. Guess he didn't like one of them.
Got back Bill Virdon in just 4 days. He is one that went the extra mile, as I add the extra $0.20 on each envelope for NON-MACHINABLE. I also label them front and back DO NOT BEND NON-MACHINABLE. About 95% come back run through the sorting machine, so I am wasting my $0.20 each time. Mr. Virdon's envelope came back hand cancelled and was stamped non-machineable. Either he took it into the PO and had them hand cancel it, or his route carrier seperates for him. A definite impression on me, LOL, as you can tell.
Here is the photo that I sent Virdon in a mat. I measured and created the custom on HP photo paper. The mat is a 5x7. And Wow, my scanner is DIRTY!!!!
