Back in middle school, I used to send out a few TTMs. I'd read about through-the-mail autograph collecting in Beckett or SI for Kids, and once in awhile I'd steal a few stamps from my dad's desk and send out some requests.
One of the better ones I got back at the time was from Tim Salmon of the California Angels. I sent this cool Fleer Ultra insert card, which looks pretty hippy trippy nowadays. It was foily and flashy, and as a middle schooler, there weren't many cards cooler than Fleer Ultra inserts.
First congrats. We are expecting our first in a few days actually. Then Ah man, I was all excited this was a recent TTM. I would love to send Tim a request, still might, there was no one hotter back in the early 90's. Puig prospectors beware!
