Enjoy the 417th installment of my TTM (Through The Mail) autograph videos!!
Charlie Joiner for Coy Bacon is NOT my favorite trade in Bengal history.
Outstanding returns as always. Gotta love the Carson rookie. One of these days I will send him a rookie card to get signed. Love that Showalter minor league card as well. Also, had no idea Plank was the reason for the "46 defense" so that is very cool. I recently sent to him as well so hopefully will get him back too. Have an excellent weekend!
the fact that Harry Carson still signs for free even though there are people out there who still try and send 10 cards at a time. Most signers would have given the middle finger to the free autograph and started charging
Ooohh I got a Greg Gagne Sportsflics for him to sign 🤩
Love that Harry Carson!
plank and 84 of course
Love the Harry Carson return. His policy is so fair and its a shame people have to send 10 items. Those are the people that are spoiling it for everyone else. Thanks Michael.
Nice autographs Michael 👍
Nice Carson and Joiner autographs 👌🏻
I just sent off that same Arizona Diamondbacks card to Buck today for TTM autograph hopefully. He grew up about 25 miles from me and I’ve met him once when I was a teenager. He is the only manager to win the manager of the year award with four different teams and in four different decades. C yaa!
Super returns Michael. The Grave Digger and Harry Carson were my favorites of the returns. Great and fair policy from Harry. Congrats on the great returns and thanks for sharing.
Some of these guys get stacks of a dozen or more cards to be signed & then they go right on eBay. That's why many of these former players don't sign ttm anymore
Awesome returns. Love the Carson and Plank.
Super returns Michael. I’m holding out that my Bobby Douglass cards will show up one day soon. One free autograph from a HOF is a great deal. I can understand wanting to get more bang for your buck but 10 autographs at one time is ludicrous. Simply spreading it out over time is the answer. Sending two to maybe three is plenty. Im happy to get one back a lot of times because I know what it’s like to not get anything back too many times.
I didn't know Cunningham tried baseball after the NFL. Pretty interesting. I really like Buck on that minor league card – hadn't seen that card before.
Bobby douglas owns property in waukegan my home town
Nice returns! Really liked the Showalter, Joiner, and Carson returns! Thanks for the shout out. Odd I didn't get that letter from Harry Carson…
Like you said, Hebner is Ex-cub great!! Bob Douglas had a rifle for an arm but wasn't too accurate. Doug Plank was a hitter!!!
Bobby Douglass looks like a classic vintage football card! Hebner for your Pirates–nice!! Charlie Joiners looks so. goood too! Buck is super cool, I wish he could had stuck around for those great Yankee teams! Good work Michael!
I was glad to get my Bobby Douglass back this week too. Charlie Joiner's rookie card looks so nice when it's signed in blue sharpie. The Arby's Buck Showalter card looks cool. I need to look into that set.
Starting with Bobby Douglass, Bears QB, just knew it was going to be an awesome video! Charlie Joiner has a beautiful signature with that blue ink. Doug Plank sweet Bears return, he's a great signer, got him a couple times… still have more to send out to him. I agree, Harry Carson's policy is more than fair. Thanks for the great video!
