No, not that kind of happy ending, sicko. Something tells me that if that were the case, the TTM hobby would be a lot more crowded than it already is.
You may recall that over the last two years,I've had a hard time getting Mason Williams to sign for me. Mason is one of my favorite Yankee prospects. He's pretty much a consensus Top 50 guy, and probably top-three in the Yankees system depending on who you ask.
One time I sent to Mason, my card came back unsigned. The next time, I got this note below.
I figured I was just destined to never get him TTM. Luckily, my pal Paul over at Carl Crawford Cards was able to hook me up with a Mason signed card from his summer spent in Charleston. I was content.
However, on December 31st, two TTM envelopes arrived. They were sent to my old address, and luckily the post office forwarded them. Each of them contained a Mason Williams signature - one on a Bowman Chrome, one on a regular Bowman. I couldn't believe it!
It was a pretty darned good way to end 2012.
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 one, grats !
ReplyDeletecongrats AJ
ReplyDeleteDo you get a lot of notes like the one from Mason? I guess those count as autographs?
ReplyDeleteAwesome Williams autos.
ReplyDeleteI've got to get a hold of one of his autos eventually. Although TBH I don't think too highly of him compared to Tyler Austin since he grew up a Red Sox fan lol.
