If there were a Mount Rushmore for TTMs, Bobby Shantz would
be on there. He is one of the most generous signers in the hobby. His success
rate is close to 100%. I already had two successes with him before, including
one for my Topps Yankees Project. But when Nick from “Dime Boxes” send me a new
Shantz in a trade package, I decided to send it along for an autograph.
However, this one is not for me. I asked Mr. Shantz to
personalize it for my six-month-old son. More and more, I am considering
scrapping TTM for myself, and sending out requests on behalf of Joey. I’ve
gotten three cards personally signed to him so far, and I’m thinking it could
eventually be a very cool keepsake for him if I can fill up a small binder of
cards signed and personalized to him.
