A while back, I sent a TTM request to one of my all-time favorite Yanks - 2009 World Series MVP Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui. I figured he probably gets a lot of mail, especially from Japanese fans, but now that he's with the A's there might be less of it. Well, after two months, yesterday I received this beauty in the mail:
No way! This has got to be one of my best all-time successes. I just hope it's real. I compared it to some other Matsui autos on line and it looks pretty legit. His signature is sort of inconsistent to begin with. Anyhow, I'm thrilled to get this back and thank Godzilla for being one of the classiest players of the last 10 years.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Nice! It looks like you got very lucky!
