I have added an excellent 16x20 to the collection.  He is probably my least favorite baseball player ever, but that doesn't change the fact that he will be a first ballot hall of famer, and that means I need him in my collection.  To this point, I have refused to spend the money it would have taken to get a high end item.  I finally found a deal too good to pass up!

Got 3 more TTM today:

Bobby Molinaro 3/3
Jim Rivera 3/3
Mike Rivera 3/3

3 more successes today:

Jim Fregosi 2/2
Jerry Koosman 1/1 (with $10 fee)
Tony Graffanino 2/2

I had quite a few mail successes in the last few days.  From this point on, I won't show every single autograph received TTM on the main page.  To see all scans, you have to visit the mailbag.  I'll just show the highlights on the main page.  And here they are:
 

I got some nice TTM stuff back this week, including the fastest return I have ever received.  It took THREE days for these Roberto Hernandez autographs to find their way back to me.

I got two things in the mail today, one TTM success and one purchase.  We'll start with the purchase:

I got back 1/1 from Gustavo Molina this week, c/o the Washington Nationals:

I only had one TTM success this week.  I received 1/1 from Jeff Marquez.

I got 4 TTM successes this week, 2 of which are particularly excellent.  I got a signed 2005 World Series ball from Mark Buehrle:


I also got an 8x10 from "The Cuban Missile", Alexei Ramirez!


I also got 2/2 from Cole Armstrong (in ball point, ugh) and Chris Stewart.

Well, I got an awesome success today... only it wasn't.  For the first time, I sent 16x20s TTM.  I sent 4 of them to John Danks, and said in my letter that he could keep 2, and asking if he would please sign 2.  He did sign 2 of them for me, but they didn't turn out well at all.  =(





If you can't see it, the first photo is signed "To Doug, Tiebreaker 9-30-08, John Danks".  The second is just signed.  Oh well, it was still extremely nice of him to sign them for me!  Thanks John!!!
