TTM Success - Jeff Winchester

These 1999 Bowmans that I got back signed TTM from Jeff Winchester turned out pretty well even though it is hard to tell from the scans.  The above 1999 Bowmans Best is a nice card and will look great in my album. 

I also got a 1999 Bowman Chrome, 1999 Bowman, and a 1999 Bowman Hometown foil parallel signed.

Winchester (b. 1980) was a first round pick (40th overall) in the 1998 June Amateur Draft out of a Louisiana high school by the Rockies.  He played in the minors from 1998 to 2006 in the Rockies, Brewers and Phillies systems, reaching AA.  He had 564 hits, 64 home runs and a .227 batting average.

I mailed to Winchester on October 31 and got the cards back on November 20, for a 20-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Peter Bergeron

A few more cards that I got from my former LCS got signed TTM and put into my autograph album.  I found several nice Peter Bergeron cards in the boxes, like the above 1999 Bowmans Best.

I also sent off a 2000 Bowman, 2000 Chrome Stadium Club, 2002 Fleer Focus and 2002 Topps.  All of the cards turned out great.  The chrome and Bowmans Best look a lot better in person.

Bergeron (b. 1977) played in the majors from 1999 to 2002 and 2004 for the Expos.  He had 249 hits, 8 home runs and a .226 batting average.

I mailed to Bergeron on August 19 and got the cards back on September 7, for a 19-day TAT.

TTM Success - Kelly Dransfeldt

I added some cool late 90s-early 2000s cards to my album when I got these cards back signed from Kelly Dransfeldt.  The above 1999 Topps Gold Label looks great when scanned, but actually pretty crappy in person.  That's because the UV coating on the card is so pld, when I powdered the card, it made it look cloudy.  I could probably clean it (and I probably will), but at least it scanned great.

I also got 1999 Bowman Foil Home State, 1999 Bowman Chome, 1999 Bowmans Best and a 2000 Bowman signed.  All of these look pretty nice, except for the cloudiness of the Bowman Chrome.

Finally, Dransfeldt signed a 1999 Team Best Baseball America card.  These are pretty cool.  I was glad to pull all of these out of the cheap boxes I got from my LCS.

Dransfeldt (b. 1975) played in the majors from 1999 to 2001 and 2004 for the Rangers and White Sox.  He had 23 hits, 1 home run and a .205 batting average.

I mailed to Dransfeldt on September 3 and got the cards back on September 21, for an 18-day TAT.

TTM Success - Matt Belisle

It took a while, but I got a TTM success from Twins reliever, Matt Belisle recently.  I had sent to him during last season via the Twins, and the cards finally came in signed.

The above 1999 Bowmans Best turned out really nice, but the scan doesn't really show how cool the card looks.

This 1999 Just Minors looks really cool, as well.  A 19-year old Belisle is shown on the card.  I didn't realize he had been around as long as he has.

Finally, here are two similar, but different, 2008 Upper Deck.  The one on the left is a 2008 Upper Deck First Pitch, and the one on the right is an 08 base.

Belisle (b. 1980) has played in the majors since 2003 (he missed 2004) for the Reds, Rockies, Cardinals, Nationals and Twins.  He has a career record of 51-57 with a 4.19 ERA and 686 strike outs.  He signed as a free agent with the Indians on February 25, 2018.

I mailed to Belisle on June 12, 2017, and got the cards back on February 15, for a 248-day TAT.
