3 TTM Returns Today

Today was a good day for mail after a slow couple of weeks:

• Brian Schneider 2/2- The Phillies backup catcher signed an 09 Topps and 09 Upper Deck in two weeks. Sent 7/14 (14 days)

• Brian Barton 2/2- After a few seasons with a handful of major league teams, Brian is now playing independent league baseball. He signed an 09 Topps and 08 Allen & Ginter from the Newark Bears in blue ballpoint pen. Sent 7/2 (26 days)

• Jamie Moyer 2/2- The ageless wonder of the Phillies rotation signed his cards from the 08 and 09 Topps set. The 08 card smeared pretty badly, but the 09 looks great for my set collection. Sent 4/19 (99 days)
  

TTM Return: Austin Kearns

• Austin Kearns 1/2- Mr. Kearns signed his 09 Topps card and returned a mini 08 Goudey unsigned from the Indians in about 2 months. Sent 5/26 (58 days)
  

TTM Return: Mariano Rivera

I was very excited to find this in the mail today:

• Mariano Rivera 2/2- The Yankees' legendary closer signed 2 cards from the Topps 09 Updates & Highlights set, one for his All-Star appearance and one for his 500th save back on June 28th (my birthday!) last year. Sent 7/8 (13 days)
  

2 TTM Returns: Ron Gardenhire & Tim Redding

Rangers @ Red Sox, 7/17

Today was a rough day for autographs after work. I missed all of the top stars on the Rangers after running back and forth across the Fenway perimeter, but I managed to get three cards at least.

• Darren Oliver- 09 Upper Deck
• David Murphy- 09 Allen & Ginter
• C.J. Wilson- 09 Topps Heritage
  

Pack Pull Auto: Josh Outman

I picked up my first few packs of the new Allen & Ginter cards yesterday and pulled this beauty. I really love the frames on these cards.

TTM Return: Bobby Doerr

• Bobby Doerr 4/2- The Red Sox legend signed two cards for me, as well as 2 protective index cards. Always a quick turnaround. Sent 7/8 (8 days)
