[trapped212]

Hi,
Wasn't sure of etiquette so I thought I would list my successes here and keep the stories on the other link so I don't update myself.

Today yielded c/o A's Jed Lowrie 2/2 13TH and 13 Topps and he included his photography business card.
Sweet blue sharpie on both. Sent on 4/26 10days....wow!

C/O Padres Spring Training Cameron Maybin 1/1 13TH Sent on 3/18 49 days

Loved Cam as a Marlin and his greatest moment, one we were actually at in the bleachers was him robbing Nate McLouth of a grand slam by snaring his homer over the wall. Gotta be on youtube somewhere.
Mailed out 9 guys today. Keeping it rolling.
Now at 6/500 that is over 1 percent! 1.2% to be precise.

Received two in the mail yesterday. Both took 9 days. Both signed in black sharpie.

Nick Maronde c/o Arkansas Travelers 1/1
(Now I have to track down Chris Herrmann)
Juan Francisco c/o Braves 1/1

So do I count Maronde as a 1/2 or as 1 full?

Either way, at 7.5 or 8/500. Let's go double digits!

[longhornjunkie]

You putting them in a binder? For my sets I bought enough pages to hold the entire set, and went ahead and start putting the cards in the pages in order. Kind of fun to start seeing the blanks fill in so to speak...
And your mom was right, you won't get any returns if you don't send any requests. I have to keep telling myself that when the droughts hit... send a new batch and hope for the best.

 

[trapped212]

Longhorn---absolutely sheets, but will go the number order route once Spring Training of 2014 is over!

After a drought of a week, 2 came in yesterday
Wellington Castillo c/o Cubs 1/1 2013 topps heritage thin blue sharpie 41 days
Andy Pettitte c/o Yankees 1/1 2013 topps heritage black sharpie 49 days---always happy to knock off a yankee.

PS--son and I mailed out 19 last week....10 to go out this week.

 

[trapped212]

Well, two more snuck their way back to me on July 2nd.
Buck Showalter c/o Orioles 2/2 2013 topps heritage and he signed the one that we offered him to keep, so we now have an extra one only 11 days

Rob Scahill c/o rockies, but I see he just got sent down to Colorado SkySox, 3/3 2013 topps and he signed 2 topps heritage rookie cards, including the one we offered him.

In addition, was able to make my first trade with HockeyBrawler (Drew) Who sent me 9 heritage autograph cards from his forays at Arlington..including Bourn and Jimenez. Also Drew, I have an extra unsigned 1975 topps steve busby card that I'll add in our "next" trade.

So our new total stands at 32/500 2013 topps heritage autograph set. 9 more letters going in mail today. 7 1/2 months until spring training!
