TTM Success - Brad Hennessey

Here is a TTM success that u got back from Brad Hennessey.  The above 2007 Upper Deck turned out nicely.  I had gotten a box of this when it came out because I liked the design.  I still so, and am glad that I added one to the album. 

I also got a 2007 Topps Update and a 2008 Upper Deck signed. I had hoped that I had his 2008 Topps, but I was unable to find it in my boxes.  Still, I'm happy with what I got signed.

Hennessey (b. 1980) played in the majors from 2004 to 2008 for the Giants.  He had a record of 17-23 with 192 strike outs and a 4.69 ERA.

I mailed to Hennessey on December 6 and got the cards back on January 9, for a 34-day TAT. 

Ramon Vazquez Signed Cards From Michael

My friend, Michael, arranged a private signing with Ramon Vazquez recently.  I had cards pulled for it, but kept forgetting to send them.  I missed the signing, but Michael hooked me up with two cards anyway.

The above 2008 Topps Heritage is a great looking card.  I was glad this was one of the cards he sent me.

Michael also sent me this 2007 Topps Update.  This was one of the sets I had pulled from to send to him.  That card is still on my desk.

Vazquez (b. 1976) played in the majors from 2001 to 2009 for the Mariners, Padres, Red Sox, Indians, Rangers and Pirates.  He had 496 hits, 22 home runs and a .254 batting average.

Thanks for the cards, Michael!

TTM Success - Bobby Jenks

This TTM success from Bobby Jenks took some time to come in, but I was glad when it finally did.  I got the above 2008 Topps signed, which turned out well.  Even though the signature doesn't match how he signed the card.  I imagine his signature changed over the years.

I also got a 2007 Topps Update, 2007 Upper Deck, 2006 Allen and Ginter, and a 2010 Allen and Ginter signed by Jenks.

Jenks (b. 1981) played in the majors from 2005 to 2011 for the White Sox and Red Sox.  He had a record of 16-20 with 351 strike outs and a 3.53 ERA.  He also had 173 career saves.  He was an All Star in 2006 and 2007 and won the World Series with the White Sox in 2005.

I mailed to Jenks on May 13, 2021, and got the cards back on February 13, 2023, for a 641-day TAT.

TTM Success - Jason Frasor

I added some more recent cards to my autograph album when I was able to get a TTM success from Jason Frasor.

I was especially excited to get the above 2013 Topps Update Emerald Parallel back signed.  I have been working on the Topps Flagship (series 1 and 2) set of emerald parallels, and it is a lot harder to complete the set than it looks.

I also added these to the album, a 2006 Topps, 2007 Topps Update and a 2010 Topps.  I have a ton of 2010 Topps, so it was nice to be able to get one out of my box.

Frasor (b. 1977) played in the majors from 2004 to 2015 for the Bue Jays, White Sox, Rangers, Royals and Braves.  He had a career record of 35-35 with 615 strike outs and a 3.49 ERA.

I mailed to Frasor on March 26 and got the cards back on April 4, for a 9-day TAT.

TTM Success - Paul Bako

It's always nice getting a TTM success back that has been out for a while, and it is also nice getting one back from a former Oriole.  Both of those scenarios occurred when I received this success from Paul Bako.

I added some nice Topps cards to my album with this success, starting with the 2007 Topps Update at the top of the page showing Bako in an Orioles uniform.  I also added cards from 2001 and 2002 Topps.

This 2007 Upper Deck was also a nice card to get back.  I remember buying a box of this when it came out, as I liked the design.

Bako (b. 1972) played in the majors from 1998 to 2009 for the Tigers, Astros, Marlins, Braves, Brewers, Cubs, Dodgers, Royals, Orioles, Reds and Phillies.  He had 508 hits, 24 home runs and a .231 batting average.

I mailed to Bako on February 2 and got the cards back on December 1, for a 302-day TAT.
