Autographs from a MLB player and a NFL player arrive

This week I received a baseball and a football autograph.

Former Oakland A’s Terry Steinbach returned my card signed in just 52 days.

It was the second card I sent Steinbach.

My first TTM from him took 162 days, so his return time has improved.

Steinbach signs for a $2 minimum donation.

I took a chance and sent cash and it all worked out right.

Former Miami Dolphin running back O.J. McDuffie took 77 days to return my signed card.

No we wait on Zach Thomas.

Five TTM failures to report

The mail box was empty this week and some of the cards I placed in the mail have been gone a long time.

So this week, I’m throwing the towel on five more cards that entered the postl service over two years ago.

On July 9, 2013, I mailed a card to the Baltimore Orioles in hopes that Brady Anderson would respond to a TTM request. At the time

http://www.sportscardforum.com/forum.php?referrerid=72224

showed successes for Anderson.

No success for me and only one success listed for this year.

On the same day I mailed a card to Mike Lieberthal to an address in Thousand Oaks, Cailf.

Success from this address are still being recorded, in fact it is a 97 percent success rate. My card must have ended up in the postal shredder because no luck for me.

May have to try again.

Also on that day I sent a card to Walt Weiss to the Colorado Rockies’ address. 

No luck and no luck reported for others.

The final card I put in the mail that day was addressed to Hal Morris at the stadium in Tempe, Arizona.

Others recorded success, but once again my card did not return.

Jeff George, Kevin Bass, and Marty Barrett return TTMs

Indianapolis, IN — Three successes were in the mailbox this week.

Former Baltimore Colts’ quarterback Jeff George signed and returned my card in a short 15 days.

George personalized the card and included his own card. On the back, “Be confident and always give 110 percent,” is written in black ink.

Sugar Land, TX — Former Houston Astro and New York Met Kevin Bass returned my card signed in just 39 days.

This is my second success from Bass.

The first success took 77 days, so Bass has cut his return time in half.

Las Vegas, NV — Former Boston Red Sox second baseman, Marty Barrett took a short 19 days to return my 1988 Donruss card.

All in all not  bad week at the mailbox.

Gaylord Perry and Jack Lazorko autographs arrive

 This week former California Angels’ pitcher Jack Lazorko responded to my though the mail autograph request in a short five days.
Lazorko has a near perfect response rate listed on http://www.sportscardforum.com/forum.php?referrerid=72224

With the good comes the bad, as my request sent to former Los Angeles Dodger Mike Marshall was returned marked unable to forward.

 On another note, I took a chance with an ad from Baseball Collector’s Daily which turns out to be Sports Collectors Daily based out of St. Louis, Mo.
The deal was send $100 and receive an autographed baseball from a Hall of Fame member including a chance for a Babe Ruth.
 I received a Gaylord Perry autographed ball, which makes me happy since Perry pitched for my Atlanta Braves. However,  I’am a little disappointed with the certificate of authenticity.

The other COAs I have received usually has the company’s name, the date and the players name.
This one only lists Sports Collector’s Daily.
There is a number listed on the box the ball came in but no hologram on the ball.
While I’m thrilled to have a Gaylord Perry autograph, it is disappointing to pay $100 bucks and not have a better COA. Just my opinion.

Leo Gomez and Dan Schatzeder, Successes Again

Leo Gomez has sped up his response time. 

I first mailed Gomez in 2014 and it took 36 days for the card to return. 

This year, I failed to realize I had already contacted him and mailed him another card on Aug. 31. The card came back signed in just nine days. 

 Dan Schatzeder was a quick return too. 

Schatzeder returned two signed cards in 11 days. Again I had not realized I had already contacted him in 2013. That attempt was also a quick success.

Juan Guzman TTM arrives after 633 days

The card was returned to me signed this week on May 8, 2015.
Guzman pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

That way beat out Ray Fontenot who was my longest wait at 918 days.
Kevin Appier took longer than Guzman as well, recording a 826 day wait.

Also this week, a card sent to former pitcher Jeff Reardon came back return to sender.

Billy Hatcher Takes 542 Days to Return TTM

Another long wait has paid off as another autograph card has arrived that I figured was long gone.

Billy Hatcher took 542 days to sign and return my 1991 Leaf Cincinnati Reds card.

http://www.sportscardforum.com/forum.php?referrerid=72224

lists both success and failure for Hatcher but it looks like he is working on improving the success rate.

It was a long wait but not the longest one I have endured.

Glenn Allen Hill took 1,285 days to respond.

Ray Fontenot took 918 days and Kevin Appier 826 days

Hatcher’s 542 days edges out former Atlanta Brave Eddie Perez’s 536 days for the fourth longest wait on my list.
