TTM Success - Bryce Stowell

Rest assured, there is an autograph on the above 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus card of Bryce Stowell.  The auto doesn't show very well via my scan, nor does it show very well in person, unless you hold the card at an angle.  It turns out, this is a very dark card.  Still, it IS signed, and will go into my album.
This 2010 Topps Pro Debut shows up a lot better, so I did have a successful TTM request from him.

Stowell (b. 1986) was a 22nd round pick by the Indians in the 2008 June Amateur Draft out of UC Irvine.  He played in the minors from 2009 to 2015 in the Indians and Rays systems.  The one-time Kinston Indian went 19-15 with 432 strike outs and a 3.13 ERA across 7 minor league seasons.  He reached AAA Durham while with the Rays organization.

I mailed to Stowell on January 11 and got the cards back on April 3, for an 82-day TAT.

TTM Success - Zake Spruill

This 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus card was in my prospects box since I pulled it from a pack when it originally came out.  I found an address for him and was able to get the card signed TTM.

The card turned out well, even with the ballpoint pen that Spruill used.  I was really glad to get it signed.

Spruill (b. 1989) played in the majors from 2013 to 2014 for the Diamondbacks.  He had a record of 1-3 with 23 strike outs and a 4.24 ERA.

I mailed to Spruill on January 16 and got the card back signed on January 25, for a 9-day TAT.

TTM Success - Daniel Schlereth

While checking out recent TTM successes on SCN, I saw that Daniel Schlereth was signing TTM.  I was about to go through some boxes from the late 2000s, and ended up finding a few of his cards.  It was nice to get a few of them out of those boxes, as cards from the late 00s to early 10s are tough to get signed for me, for some reason.
The cards turned out well, and I was really happy to put them to some use.

Schlereth (b. 1986) played in the majors from 2009 to 2012 for the Diamondbacks and Tigers.  He had a career record of 5-6 with 91 strike outs and a 4.35 ERA.

I mailed to Schlereth on January 2 and got the cards back on January 12, for a 10-day TAT.
