Error Leads to Great Dave Stapleton Autograph

DAPHN, AL.— This is probably the best through the mail autograph success story I have yet.

It took former Boston Red Sox first baseman Dave Stapleton 1,167 days to return an autograph card.

It is the third longest wait I have had next to Bob Tewksbury, who took 2,104 days, 
http://mlbttmautographs.blogspot.com/2016/12/bob-tewksbury-responds-to-ttm-request.html
and GlenAllen Hill who took 1,285 days.
http://mlbttmautographs.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-1285-day-wait-for-glenallen-hill-ttm.html

There is an added twist to the story, a mistake that I made which resulted in this great return.

When I mailed Stapleton a card, I erroneously sent him a card of former Milwaukee pitcher Dave Stapleton.

I’m still stunned I made such a mistake as I always liked Boston’s Stapleton and his 1981 Donruss card was one of the first cards I remember adding to my collection.

I sent the Brewer’s card and a note wishing the pitcher happy holidays.

What I received back four years later is an autograph from Boston’s Stapleton and a note highlighting my error, signed by Boston’s Stapleton and citing that he played for Boston 1980-1986 #11.

I have since checked 

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

and realized that there isn’t an address for the former Brewer’s pitcher.

I hate the error I made but I love the result.

Thank you to Boston’s Dave Stapleton.

Bob Tewksbury Responds to TTM Request after 2,104 Days

Calico Cat post card
by SMRJigsawPuzzles

Former big league pitcher Bob Tewksbury returned my card signed after 2,104 days.

The success is now the longest wait since my success from GlennAllen Hill that took 1,285 days.

I mailed Tewksbury on March 29, 2011 and had given up on the card coming back. Tewksbury must have just now got around to his stack of mail because others are posting success who sent cards around the same time I did.

One collector notes his wait time was 2,165 days.

Other long wait times I have endured include Ray Fontenot, 918 days; Steve Trout, 897 days and Kevin Appier, 826 days.

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
