The Last Coupla Weeks
TTM successes over the last 2 weeks: And then these in a trade with levi (thanks again, man): -
-
1/18 - 1/22
3 successes this week, including John Tudor, which I'd pretty much given up on (sent out in August): -
The Last Few Weeks' Worth:
Haven't posted anything since before X-mas. Partly because I've only gotten a handful back since then; I took a break from sending anything out in early December, 'cause I didn't want to be bothering any of these guys over the holidays. But a couple that I'd sent out last summer came back this... -
12/13 - 12/18: 3 TTMs (1 HOFer), 1 Trade
Not sure what was a bigger piece of luck: getting Ryno to sign a card for me, or that it actually made it back to me safely, considering that he didn't seal the envelope! :eek: And got these 5 in a trade with Robert (greatdad): I'm now up to exactly 100 for the set, which was my... -
12/6 - 12/11: 2 TTMs, 1 Trade
And these 3 in a trade with Mark (MichiganFan9): And Buckner charges $10, but he'll sign 2 or 3 for the one flat price, so I got this one for greatdad for his '88 set: -
11/22 - 12/4: Picked Up 6
Especially excited to get Lance Parrish, since he was one of my favorite players as a kid, and I'd been waiting on these since July. And these 2 from ebay: I'll have to count 'em up, but I think I'm more than half done with the Red Sox now... :cool: -
November Pickups So Far
Oops, I've fallen a couple weeks behind posting these, but November's been pretty decent to this point: and from ebay: My only disappointment right now is that I'm still waiting on the 2 Lance Parrishes I sent out in mid-July; other people started getting theirs back from him on... -
10/25 - 10/30: 3 Returns, 1 Trade
I was especially glad to get a couple of Team Leaders cards back this week, since I've been having pretty lousy luck with them so far, even among guys who are usually pretty reliable (Bob Boone, Matt Young, Buck Rodgers, Ron Perranoski). But I haven't given up on them completely yet... -
10/12 - 10/23: Just a Couple
(The '84 is already on its way to kugelmanco for his set.) -
10/4 - 10/9: 1 Trade, 1 Ebay, & 1 TTM
Got this one in a trade with mr.js36 (thank again, Javier): Got this one off ebay. Probably my favorite player in this entire set, so he was a priority for me: And this was my one TTM success of the week, some guy who used to be an Astros coach. I guess he used to play a little bit, too... -
9/27 - 10/2: Another Pair of Red Sox
Another slow week :( , but at least the 2 guys I got are from the right team. :D -
9/20 - 9/25: 4 Former Red Sox This Week
Got these 2 TTM: (Included a $3 donation for his charity) And got these on ebay: -
9/7 - 9/18: I'm In a Drought :(
Just 2 returns over the last 2 weeks: And, as a "great" (I use sarcastic quote marks) way to cap off a slow couple of weeks, Bret Saberhagen is one that I'm really anxious to add, and I just got sniped on one with 14 seconds to go. Jerk. :rolleyes: Oh, well, another one will come along... -
8/30 - 9/4: Got 3 This Week
3 adds for the set this week. Slow and steady progress: (ImageShack seems to be having problems today, so if the pictures don't show up, check again later.) Doug DeCinces: This was my fastest one so far, and I can't imagine any future ones ever beating this record: sent it on Tuesday, and... -
8/23 - 8/28: A Pretty Decent Week
Dan Plesac not only signed my '87 Topps, but included one of his own and personalized it: I think that's "Go Dan" rather than "To Dan". Probably in reference to the fact that in my letter, I mentioned that when I first became a baseball fan he, Quisenberry, and Pasqua were pretty much the... -
8/16 - 8/21: 5 Set Adds This Week
Got these 3 back TTM: And these 2 in a trade with Brad (stlcardtrader): Up to 20 in my set now, which doesn't sound like much, but since this past Thursday (the 19th) marked 1 month since I started it, I don't think that's a bad haul so far. I'm hoping to be up over 100 by the end... -
8/9 - 8/14
Only got 3 additions for my set this week, but they were pretty good ones. 2 TTM successes from a pair of lefties with 440 career wins and 2 WS rings between them: And I got this one in a deal with metrotheme. Not a big name, but a guy who doesn't sign TTM, so it was a nice one to pick up... -
8/6 - A Couple of the "Old Reliables"
Got these in yesterday: 7 days for Hayes (c/o Camden Riversharks), 6 for Cey (c/o home). Hard to beat that! :cool: -
8/5 - One Success, One Failure
Argh--second time this week I've only batted .500. :mad: First, the good. Great-looking sig from Jody Davis, 2 weeks c/o the Boise Hawks: And then the bad: I took a chance and sent to Goose Gossage without including the $10 fee, since I've read that some people have had luck getting him...
