Gone But Not Forgotten

Like many I have a collection of cards that I sort through in order to find the next successful TTM autograph.

However some of those players on the cards are no longer with us.

This week I pulled a Rod Beck baseball card.

Beck died on June 23, 2007 at the young age of 48.

The long time relief pitcher played for the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, and the San Diego Padres.

The cause of death was never confirmed but it was reported drugs were found in the home.

It is reported he was buried in his Chicago Cub uniform.

RIP Mr. Beck.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Like many I have a collection of cards that I sort through in order to find the next successful TTM autograph.

However some of those players on the cards are no longer with us.

This week I pulled a John Grimsley football card.

Grimsley played linebacker for the Houston Oilers for seven years.

It is reported he died in 2008 of an accidental gunshot wound at the age of 46.

Another example that we never know when our time will come.

RIP Mr. Grimsley

Former New York Met pitcher Ron Darling and former Denver Bronco’s coach Dan Reeves are two of my latest TTM autograph successes.

Thrilled to have both of these cards in the growing collection.

I have added three more autographs to the collection since my last update.

Former California Angels pitcher Joe Grahe returned my card signed in 28 days.

Former New York Met Kevin Elster took 10 days and $2 to return a card signed and former Chicago Cub Ryne Sandeberg took 28 days and $10 to return a card signed.

Gone but not Forgotten

Like many I have a collection of cards that I sort through in order to find the next successful TTM autograph. Lately I have been pulling cards of players who have died that I either didn’t realize had passed or I had forgotten.

Most recently I discovered that former Boston Red Sox catcher John Marzano passed away on April 19, 2008 at the age of 45.

He also played for the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners.

It is reported he died after falling down a flight of stairs.

Another example that we never know when our time will come.

RIP Mr. Marzano.

More 2013 Failures

Some cards just never come back or take years to come back. The following cards are still gone I assume are not coming back.

Storm Davis

I mailed Davis two cards on Aug. 12, 2013 at a Daytona Beach address.

No luck.

Now it appears he has responded from an address in Jacksonville, Florida.

Stan Javier

I mailed Javier on Aug. 24, 2013 at the MPLPA address after reported successes. I scored nothing.

He appears to be a hit and miss signer from other addresses.

Tom Brookens

I mailed Brookens two cards on Sept. 23, 2013 at Comerica Park after a reported high success rate. Again my cards went to the PostMonster

Brookens now has a high success rate from an address in Pennsylvania. Will have to try again.

Rick Honeycutt

I mailed Honeycutt three cards on Sept. 23, 2013 at the Dodgers address where he shows an 80 percent success rate.

Again my cards went to the PostMonster. There are successes recorded since I sent my cards.

He also looks like a hit and miss signer from other addresses.

Mike Krukow

I mailed Krukow on Sept. 23, 2013 to an address in California after seeing success posted. The card didn’t come back. Now it appears he is signing from the Giant’s address. May be trying again.
