TTM Success - Franklin Gutierrez

This TTM success from Franklin Gutierrez turned out nicely on some cards that I had been holding for a while.  The above 2011 Topps Chrome orange refractor was a card that I definitely was going to send out, and I am glad that it came back signed.

I was also able to get a 2003 Topps, 2011 Bowman Chrome refractor and a 2010 Topps 206 gold parallel signed by Gutierrez.

Gutierrez (b. 1983) played in the majors from 2005 to 2013 and 2015 to 2017 for the Indians, Mariners and Dodgers.  He had 778 hits, 97 home runs and a .257 batting average.  He won a Gold Glove Award in 2010.

I mailed to Gutierrez on August 19 and got the cards back on February 14, for a 179-day TAT.

2010 T-206 Thoughts

I picked up some loose T206 cards from the Greenville Card Shop this past weekend while Max was visiting me for my birthday. He was able to get a bunch of Dodgers while I got several Orioles.
My scanner cut off the bottoms of the cards and I'm too lazy to hook back up to it with the laptop to correct it... Sorry guys. Here is the Reimold. I made sure I got the 206 of my new favorite player. I really enjoy pulling for Reimold. It helps that he was really cool when I met him. I may devote an entire blog entry to that trip again, you know, cause it's my blog and I can write about what I want haha.

I really like this Cal. My wife likes it because he looks like Bruce Willis. Yippe-Ki-Yay. I'm glad they still make Cal cards, it's always nice to add to my huge Cal Collection. 400+ cards and going strong.

YES. Another Roberts to add to that collection as well. Brian looks super sleepy on his card. Roberts, in my opinion, is a huge reason that the O's are on the tear they're on. Roberts will be back full-on next year and make a serious run at 60 doubles. That's my prediction for next year. Count on it.
