Another TTM Success From Jermaine Allensworth

Back in 2016, I got Jermaine Allensworth to sign 4 cards TTM for me.  With the ones I had built up in the time since then, I was due to send to him again.  This 1997 Topps Gallery was one of the keys to why wanted to send to him again.  I had an assortment of these that came in one of the 5,000-count boxes that I got from my former LCS.

I also had Allensworth sign a 1997 Topps Chrome, 1997 Pacific and a 1997 Leaf Limited.

Finally here are some landscape oriented cards that I got signed, a 1994 Upper Deck Top Prospects and a 1998 Stadium Club.  All of the cards look great, and I am glad to be able to move them into my album.

I mailed to Allensworth on December 22 and got the cards back on January 11, for a 20-day TAT.

TTM Success - Shane Reynolds

If someone were to go back and look at all of my posts about TTM successes, one common statement comes out in most of the posts.  I usually talk about how great the cards came out and how happy I am with the TTM success,  Well, due to a near-dead Sharpie, these cards that came back from Shane Reynolds look like crap.

I had some really cool late 90s cards that I haven't gotten many of in my album, and I was really excited to try to get them back signed.  Add in the long wait time for these, and this was just a dud.

The cards are still going into my album, but I really wish he had used a better Sharpie.  Not much I can do about it now.

Reynolds (b. 1968) played in the majors from 1992 to 2004 for the Astros, Braves and Diamondbacks.  He had a career record of 114-96 with 1,403 strike outs and a 4.09 ERA.  He was an All Star in 2000 and finished a career-best 9th in the NL Cy Young race in 1996.  He appeared on the 2010 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.

I mailed to Reynolds on September 14, 2017, and got the cards back on May 28, 2019, for a 621-day TAT.  He also kept two of my cards.
