Piece with 5 sigs finished
Steve Rogers was in my neck of the woods last weekend for the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame induction weekend. So I got a chance to finish this off. -
TTM success from Korea
Hi all, it's been a while. I've been out of the hobby for some time now but every now and then long lost ones find their way home. I came back from vacation yesterday and found a nice surprise waiting for me. I thought I'd share. Sun-Woo Kim signed a card for me, it took almost 2 years, sent it... -
Doug Frobel & Rick Engle
I got Rick Engle TTM... might be the oddest chosen spot for a signature of all my returns but I'll take it. He signed 2 customs I offered him one, but he sent both back)... I also got Doug Frobel in my mailbox. He's playing a charity baseball game in a few weeks in Ottawa, I contacted the guy... -
Jeff Terpko
Finally! a return! I've been sending out since April and this is the 1st one I got back... seemed like the drought would never end! Former Rangers and Expos pitcher Jeff Terpko signed my custom and kept one. -
Einar Diaz IP
Went to the Jays / Orioles game today... great finish to the game plus I added to the Expos collection before the game... Einar Diaz signed this one for me during Orioles batting practice. -
Another Expos Custom signed
Hey guys, sent a bunch out lately, it had been a while for me but hoping they start rolling back in and I can start sharing successes again. Here's one signed by George Riley. He didn't have a super long MLB career, but I think he has a couple 1981 Cubs cards to his name... none with the Expos... -
WBC TTM Success - Larry Walker
One of my new favorites acquired with the hobby! Loved watching Larry play during his time with the Expos. I've only sent out 2 requests recently (actually only 2 in the last year or so)... and I was expecting the other one back first (or at all) but when I saw the envelope post-marked from AZ... -
ST Return - Brendan Harris signs customs
I still haven't gotten back in the swing of things... haven't sent out a request now for a year (since last year's spring training)... but got back a couple signed customs from Brendan Harris today (sent them last year c/o Rockies ST). I think they look pretty good signed! -
almost 5 years later - thanksgiving day success
I got my 2nd return in a week from Leo Marentette. I guess he let his mail pile up and he's getting to it now. I sent to him a few times thinking maybe it just got lost in the mail. This one was out almost 5 years! I also got John Tamargo and Bob James as a gift from a fellow collector... nice... -
It's been a while...
Hey everybody... hope you've all been well. It's been a while since I've been on here... I see this site has a new look and I think it's been for quite a bit of time too (again... It's been a while for me!). New logo too! I would have loved to submit some suggestions for that if I was around... -
Some of my recent successes
The Maysey and Knorr are nice additions to my "Canadians who played for the 'spos" collection..... A bit disappointed in the pen/marker Maysey used (looks like he used a highlighter), but what can you do... Maysey also wrote back a really nice note. -
1497 days later it shows up. a new personal record.
That's just over 4 years.... this was one of the first ones I sent out when I started this project back in January 2008. It showed up today. I don't even log my dates anymore but this goes back far enough, back to when I used to do so... so I know exactly how long the wait was. I've sent to... -
a baseball pioneer and innovator in the mailbox today
Charlie O'Brien signed a custom for me... he's the man behind the "hockey style" catcher's mask. He also wrote back on my "notepaper"... it simply reads "Catch ya later - Charlie O'Brien" . -
added one to a "sub-collection" without even doing anything.
Well of course, my main focus is the all-time Expos roster collection.... but within that I set myself some goals with "sub-collections".... one is to obtain a signed card from every Canadian to have played or coached for the Expos! Today I added to that collection without having to do... -
2 year wait for this one
Got one back yesterday from Brendan Harris. I sent to him c/o Spring Training in 2010. He also took the time to write back a great letter. At the time that I sent this out, that was the best picture I could find of him in an Expos uniform... but I've found better pics since and ironically just... -
Another one of the new custom cards came in!
I think they are working out well. Tim Barrett signed 2/3... I offered him a custom and the minor league card but he just kept the custom.... all I needed the minor league card for was to scan the photo to create my custom... but I'll take it. -
Nikco Riesgo in today
Got one back today, Nikco Riesgo signed a card and wrote back a note but I didn't scan that. -
on a bit of a role with players writing back...
Bill Dillman signed a couple customs for me. (I mentioned Winnipeg in my letter to him which is why he mentions the Peg.) -
My New Customs - 1st one back and more.
Luis Lopez signed 3 custom cards for me... I only asked for 1 but he sent back 3... he also kept another 4 or 5 that I included... others of this custom design and a few other designs as well (I never send that many out, I just had a bunch handy since I was test printing them... I figured why...
