Hey, welcome back everybody. We have another TTM video to get to. And the wiener dog is loaded up with nine, including one back from a private signing and one ultra thick one that the sender put a uh non-machinable stamp on there and added something to the envelope. We’ll have to wait to get to that one. We’ll show them in the order which we received them. Except this one is first. It’s from the private signing. Um should be from the Expose Fest. It was a private signing. Uh, Pass Bros was one of the sponsors. Uh, they do this every year to raise money for the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Some famous expose of days gone by. That’s my wrapping there. They just rewrapped it. And big old thick envelope there. Let’s get into this. Uh, Bill Lee, Steve Rogers, Al Oliver. But the two we were after, I say we, Michael Ivy was part of this too, were Vlad Senior and Felipe Lou. Michael Ivy just went nuts with his Felipe Lou entries. Um, all the proceeds went to Montreal Children’s Hospital, as I said. And now that looks beautiful right on top. I was worried about that. I said blue paint pen and it looks great. Vlad on the 95 Bowman’s best expensive card. Vlad Senior, the Hall of Famer. First time we’ve got him back on the channel. Whoa, we No, we actually got him in a Kusnik Museum hot pack. First time we’ve gotten him TTM, so to speak. He was charging 50 $50 per autograph. And Michael Ivy sent to Felipe Aloo. He’s trying to get the entire player run of Felipe. And Felipe was charging $25. That 23 was written on there by the previous collector. 62. There’s the rookie on the 59. Well wororn. 71 68 68 again. 60 tops. And here are mine. I had three rookies. Beautifully done. 59 tops. Another kind of a tough card to get a hold of at a good price. He was charging 25 per. So that’s pretty sweet. But again, Vlad was 50 per, which I think at the National 120 per just crazy amount. So, Michael’s got a nice run going on the Filipe Lou uh career player run. It’s a little got a light shiny there. So, let’s get to the TTMs. That’s pretty sweet. Exposefest through uh past pros is where I sent paid through PayPal. This person didn’t trust my Dollar Tree envelopes. Two pieces of tape there and there. Coming from Charlotte, North Carolina, the fake Queen City. Charlotte. Charlotte to Charlotte. There’s Larry McReynolds. First time we’ve gotten him back on the channel. Fox Sports. Fox Sports. There he’s now a commentator. longtime commentator for Fox Sports after being a crew chief. We talk about baseball lifers all the time. He’s a NASCAR lifer. First got involved 1975 as a 16year-old. Seems like he should be older, but he’s only 66 years old now. Crew chief for a long time. Three of three plus two, five of three. Again, first time we’ve sent to him. Quick return. Yeah. Started working in NASCAR at 16 years old. 1975. I became a crew chief in 85 and did that until 2000. Actually won two Daytona uh 500s with one with Dave Allison who then passed away unfortunately and one with Dale Orhard who also passed but he’s got the two and he got 23 wins alto together. Quick return seven 8 n 10 11 days no fee. Larry Mcrenolds probably got those cards from Troy the dealmaker kernan somewhere along the line. Next up is Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma. Little ding here on the envelope. Cards should be good. Cards down here. There’s Billy Swift. Didn’t put the index cards in, but the cards look great shape. Good to get one of those Olympic cards back. Almost a Randy Johnson Marbor Country era card. Of course, the law changed. I think Maguire has M uh on his rookie card, but the law changed between the 85 top set and the 89 fleer set when um Randy Johnson got such a they had the black box out that Marbar sign on the U scoreboard behind him. Got a bunch of variations of that 89 Fleer Randy Johnson rookie card. Bill Swift, stop talking about Randy Johnson. He’s 63 years old. He was a right-handed pitcher. University of Maine. Not many of those guys around. 14 seasons altogether in the majors, 85 to 98. Six with the Mariners and then uh three with the Giants. Led the NL and ERA in 1992 and won that silver medal there in the 84 Olympics in LA. And uh also coached in college at the Arizona Christian University, ACU I guess in Glendale, Arizona. That’s also 11 days right there. 11 days no fee. Bill Swift. Nice. That big thick one’s bothering me there. Pittsburgh, PA. It’s a B thing. Get you next year, Kennywood. There’s George Doc Medic. And we’ll send that to Steve Busby. That’s his rookie card, too. And Dick Coart’s no longer with us. He used to sign when he was living. And that’s a bad airbrush there. He’s wearing a Pirates uh hat and jersey. I’m sure that’s Three River Stadium played for the Pirates and was traded to the Indians. So, they airbrush the Indians hat, but George Doc Medach is who we’re interested in right here. Right here. He’s 76 years old now. He actually did get his MD degree, University of Pittsburgh. Became a practicing physician after his playing days. Was a surgeon, I believe, and before that he was a right-handed pitcher for 11 seasons, 72 to 82. first four with the Yankees, then one with his hometown Pittsburgh Pirates. Actually played baseball and football at the University of Pittsburgh. Finished 124 wins, 105 losses overall. Seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 days. Everybody’s 11. 11 days no fee for Mr. Doc for Dr. George Meditch. Doc Medic, Colorado. Up next, Denver, the mile high city on the 13th step of the state capital building. You’re exactly one mile above sea level in Clint Hurdles coming back from Denver. He about two days after I sent these to Florida where he’s been retired, I heard he got the uh the job as the Cleveland or not Cleveland, the Colorado Rockies hitting coach. Didn’t know he was looking for a job, but he accepted a position. I thought, well, I’ll never see those cards again. And here they are coming back from there. Another Pittsburgh guy. He was a Pittsburgh manager, as you see right here. And Phenom is what Sports Illustrated called him for the Royals. Didn’t quite pan out as a player. Pretty darn good manager. And now the heading coach for the Rockies after he managed the Rockies for um nine seasons, 2002 to 2009. Eight. Yeah, eight seasons. Then the Pirates from 2011 to 2019, 1269 wins, 1345 losses. Ah, that’s a shame. We got to turn that around, but uh he’ll get that straightened out. He needs a World Series ring as well. Felipe and Vlad Senior up there. Clint Hurdle. Nice card there. Manager of the year 2013 with my Buckos when he took them to the playoffs. First time since ’92, that magical 2013 season. It’s about a month there. $5 per that goes to the Prader Willie Syndrome uh foundation, which is what his daughter suffers from. And we’ll go count those days. All right. Went off record 26 days. 26 days, $5 per. And don’t know if you need to send them to the Rockies now or not. Let’s get to the uh big one. And they didn’t trust the Dollar Tree envelope after packing this thing chalk full of goodies coming from parts unknown as well. That’s added to the mystery. Uhoh. I may be cutting something. Oh, they put some uh cardboard in there. Nice. Oh, it’s a private. It’s a private Lenny Moore the goat. Oh, I didn’t uh there was no return address in there. Hall of Fame 75 Lenny Moore and the 56 Tops rookie card. We’ve gotten this card several times over the years and he was doing a private signing for $15. Well, why? If he pays if he signs regularly through the mail at 10. Why pay 15? Well, oftentimes with Lenny Moore, you’ll get a dead Sharpie and uh you it’s like u Forest Gump’s box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. And I thought, well, I’m going to pay $5 more and uh get a quote unquote guaranteed good autograph, which that’s a really nice autograph from Mr. Moore, who’s 93 or 94 years old now. One of the goats 1950s all decade team, seven times Pro Bowl MVP of the NFL in 1964, two-time NFL champion, Hall of Fame 1975, as he says right there. And that’s $15 with a private signing. And I forget the company that did that, but $15 for Lenny Moore is really, really good through a private signing. North Texas, Dallas, Texas, man. Racking them up here. That’s pretty cool. Jim Kern emu. Pretty darn good pitcher. White Socks there. Rangers on the 81. Then the 82 with the Rangers. Got to love that. Jim Kerna, 76 years old. He right-handed pitcher mostly in relief and uh 13 seasons 74 to 86. First five with the Indians and then a final season with the Indians in 86. But in between there he was a three-time all-star 778 and 79. We’ll see what he did on the back of this 81 tops. was 13 and five in 79. 1.57 erra. What a season. 136 strikeouts. Pitching about two innings a game. Something you don’t see now, but that’s really cool. Great season. He was rolls relief man of the year that year. And uh not surprisingly. How many days was that out? Three weeks there. 21 22 23 days no fee for Jim Kern. Next up, North Texas, Dallas, Texas. Once again, there’s Eddie Zoski. I told you I sent to him. What was that yesterday in uh the Kushnikop packs? He’s in that Jewish major leaguer set. Told you I was sent to him recently. Three out of three from Eddie Zoski. 10, 11, 12 days for Mr. Zoski who was a incredible uh college player at Fresno State. and uh just couldn’t quite pan out in the major leagues. He was a great prospect and just couldn’t put it together. Kind of a what they call a quad A player, I guess. Really good stats in the minors, but can’t quite do it in the major leagues. But hey, he made it. Eddie Zoski um played parts of five seasons altogether from 1991 to 2000. 12 days no fee for Eddie Zoski. I like it. Last one. Greensboro, North Carolina. Piedmont, Triad area. There’s Handsome Harry in there. I got my note. Modern era. High pioneer. Vote Harry game. NASCAR Hall of Fame. I guess the uh fans have a vote perhaps. We’ll check that out. And he should be in the Hall of Fame. No question. Harry Gant. I only said two cards. Probably again from the Troy Kernan uh gimmies that he provides me with NASCAR. Keeps me keeps me stocked up there. Handsome Harry, 85 years old. Man, it doesn’t seem like he should be that old, but uh he was a great racer. One of those guys like Todd Boddine we got last week. I said he’d race you in just about anything. And Anom Harry’s the same way. 500 NASCAR races, 18 wins, 130 Xfinity car races, 21 wins, and then a Craftsman truck. He had 11 races in the truck. So whether it’s a bicycle or a wagon or a golf cart, he’s going to race you. Handsome Harry. Two weeks right there. 14 13 days, no fee. He’s in the NASCAR 50 greatest racers of all time. They voted in 98. And then 25 years later, they had the 75 greatest NASCAR drivers, and he was one of those. He’s in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. So, I’m counting as a Hall of Famer, even though he’s I guess he’s not in the NASCAR hall of fame, which is seems to be a crime to me. Put handsome Harry in there. We’ll check him out. Thanks for staying with me. 14 minutes into this thing. Good private Sunny’s Vlad Guerrero. Felipe may be in the Hall of Fame someday. Lenny is in the Hall of Fame. Anyone else? Pretty sweet day.
