I got Lou Piniella back in less than a week....

271/792

It looks like Frank White is signing his mail again, as evidenced by him signing both his base card and Royals Leaders for me.

321/792

I got a RTS from Frank White, Ray Knight, Ken Griffey but I did have a success from Dave Kingman which I am very pleased to get.

White also signs via PastPros if you sent to the T-Bones.

I have not known Griffey or Knight to sign their mail but awesome on the Kingman.

My Mark Davis card got badly bent but I got it back signed today.

322/792

Finally
 

It has been awhile since I received some TTM returns but came home to these beauties today!

Kevin Romine is signing now. I got mine back today.

323/792

Jimmy Key, Brett Butler, Bruce Bochy, Bill Dawley, Bill Swift, Oddibe McDowell, Marvell Wynne, received today

Alan Trammell today.

324/792

Rich Yett
 

Got this one today!!

It's a nice Saturday mail day for me.

Shane Rawley - c/o PastPros

Jose DeLeon - c/o PastPros

Bobby Grich - Sent a handwritten note apologizing for charging but that's how to separate true fans from those doing business.

Joe Hesketh - Mail order signing

Jeffrey Leonard - Foundation donation. Added NLCS MVP inscription as requested.

I hope he charges a reasonable amount for the "true fan". It's too bad that a true fan has to pay for a signature, being a fan and the reseller just moves on because they can't turn a profit from it if they are charged a fee.

$10.00.

I was at the Fanatics show tonight and it was an absolute madhouse for the Cubs. I'll be going back on Sunday.

I added Chris Bosio to my set.

330/792

I added Dennis Martinez at the Fanatics show today.

331/792

I got a Phil Garner which came back bent. It was chicken scratched and I had a previous failure when he sent back my 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game unsigned.

So I haven't had terribly positive experiences with Phil Garner, but a success is a success.

332/792

I had a recent success from Dickie Noles.

333/792

It took a long time, but I got a return from Pat Corrales.

334/792

Via PastPros, Larry Herndon came back.

I also got Andre Dawson c/o his foundation.

336/792

Evan as a life-long Giants fan I can admit that getting Tom Lasorda TTM is a good day. The bottom cards 3 were Topps Archive purchases off ebay.

That is a sweet group of 87's right there. Five HOFers, and the non-HOFers are stars in their own right, with a great hitter and two dominant closers.

Well done.

TTM Success
 

It has been awhile since I received a success now that I have all of the easy ones out of the way but I got this in the mail today. It was sent out a couple of months ago!!!

Andy

It took a little more than a year, but Toby Harrah came back today.

337/792

Cecilio Guante from PastPros.

338/792

Got 3 in the mail today.
The Rangers TC is signed by Bobby Valentine.
The checklist is signed by Jessie "the body" Ventura. I am going for non-baseball signatures on the checklists. Music, Other sports, Celebs, etc... that were notable in the 80's.

That's an interesting checklist strategy right there.

Nolan Ryan foundation
 

Got this beauty back after only two weeks from his foundation, sent to Canada!!!

Gorgeous Ryan! What is his current price for flats?

His website says $35 for cards or items under 5"x7" but I put $25 USD cash in the envelope. I guess it works out to $35 CDN with the exchange rate since I am Canada....lol Very nice auto though indeed, I am thinking of getting a unique 11x14 photo and sending it to him as well to sign and put it up on my wall. I think he charges $55 for a photo that big.

Thanks for the info! Do you have to specify for him to use blue sharpie or is that standard? I've never really sent off to foundations but after seeing Ryan and Clemens returns I think I might send in some old cardboard to get signed.

Feel free to PM me if this goes too far off topic.

Lonnie Smith arrived via PastPros.

339/792

I saw John Denny was doing a private signing with Atommic Sports. I jumped on that and got my card back signed today.

340/792

I just came across this thread. A lot of awesome info about the set in here. I have been working on a 1987 Topps autographed set for just about a year. I am currently at 233, still have along way to go. I have most of the HOFers and Semi-stars. I have been upgrading and picking up certified cards out of the 2016 Topps Archives release. I am hoping that next years Archives release will focus on the 1987 design for the 30th anniversary. Maybe they will get a bigger selection of signers for the release as well. I have yet to try getting any through the mail, but I may start as it seems to be a great way to get some of the tough players :) I will try to post some pics with the next few days.

I'm closing out the year on a high note. Domingo Ramos arrived via PastPros.

341/792

Doubt anyone here has seen this. 1987 topps 1/1 bryant from the transcendent case


https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C0-IVXSWgAAuMEt.jpg

I did not. I don't really care too much for Topps recycling old designs, but that right there is pretty sweet.

1987 Topps
 

Finally got time to take a pic of some of my 87's. I hope to be able to complete the set in 2017. Happy New Year!

PS: Republicaninmass - Love that Bryant!!!!

Thanks for sharing and a Happy New Year to you, too.

I started 2016 with 203/792. Now it's 2017 and I start the year at 341/792.

Bob Sebra came in today.

342/792

Ttm
 

Got a nice Don Sutton today for a $10 donation to his charity.

What serial number is that Garvey if you don't mind telling me?

I saw Joe Orsulak was catching up on his mail. This took more than a year. I got mine today.

343/792

It's #9

Steve Garvey arrived today and also included a note.

344/792

I got Jaime Cocanower on the Brewers Leaders card.

345/792

HI,

How did you get Jaime Cocanower? Was it TTM to his residence, or through someting like PastPros??

Cheers,

Andy

TTM. I previously got him on his regular base card and decided to send him the Brewers Leaders card. I also could've sent to pitching coach Herm Starrette since he's on the card and Charlie Moore doesn't sign.

PM coming.

In today:

Greg A. Harris
Bruce Bochte

347/792

Lol...took me 5 years for Joe to respond to mine...consider yourself lucky!
