TTM Baseball

by Hittinaway - 223 cards (Last updated on Mar 9, 2024)

My TTM cards or in person over the years. I have a lot more to add and will update when I can. More recent returns up top.

1. 1951 Bowman #104 Virgil Trucks

My all-time favorite TTM. Virgil signed the card and wrote "Fire" in red pen for fun. He also signed my baseball and wrote the dates of his No-Hitters, sent me a couple extra signed cards with a personal note. I wrote back to him and got a personal signed book too.

2001 Bowman Heritage #250 Roberto Hernandez Front

3. 2001 Bowman Heritage #250 Roberto Hernandez

First return in 2024 and took about a week.

4. 1978 Topps #299 Whitey Herzog

Received in Nov. 2023 with a little over a week to return. $5 per card isn't bad for a HOFer and who's in his 90s!

5. 1982 Donruss #190 Whitey Herzog

I hope to be able to sign this well when I'm in my 90s.

6. 1967 Topps #87 George Altman

Sent Nov. 2021 and took about a month to return.

7. 1991 Score #339 Mike Bordick

Sent 3 cards back in 2020 and received 2 years+ including a signed business card. One of my longest to get back.

8. 2002 Topps #153 Mike Bordick

I also have this card signed in black.

2002 Upper Deck 40-Man #207 Mike Bordick Front

I'd be interested in back stories - why these players?

How did you get the pictures of the cards signed on there? I also have a TTMs list and I can’t figure it out. Thanks in advance!

Sportzcommish - Not really any back stories other than the Trucks is one of my favorite TTMs and I am always looking for vintage signers. Will Clark is my dad's favorite player, while Jaenson and Estes are/were part of the Reno/Cason area teams where I'm from. I have a lot more to add in time.

StarrsCards - If you go to the set, then through collection summary add/update there is a drop down menu toward the bottom that says view/add image if card is in your collection. Then you can add a scanned version of your card.

rmpaq5 - Thanks! JW is still around so if you have a card, let me know and I'll send you the address I used. He wrote me a letter back so I'm sure he would appreciate one from a Tigers fan :)

Where do you get the addresses from to send to?

Xanadude - I used 2 different sites. I use sportscardforum.com and search for players there as it's free to do so, but I use sportscollectors.net to add to my collection there. It keeps track of how long it takes and has some free access for addresses but there's a fee for the whole database and I send TTM card so randomly it's not worth for me to pay for it at this time.

I did a lot of TTM about 10-15 years ago focusing on Sports Illustrated magazines. Got a few hundred, but then life got busy and spending money got tighter (i.e. kids) so I had to stop.
