Hey Guys. Just popping in to post a quick TTM success that came this past week. I've gotten a few card-related packages, and I'll get to them when I can. Without going into much detail, a family member of mine unexpectedly died this past Wednesday. 32 years old. It's devastating, not just because of the proximity to Christmas, but the circumstances around the death and the effect it's having on my family.
I've got a stack of envelopes and mailers to get it, but they are going to have to wait.
However, I did want to do a quick post, and these TTMs are easy to show off. Former Yankee Dion James signed these cards for me in just about a week's time. I liked him a lot as a player. He played a key role on those Yankees teams that started to turn it around in the early to mid-90s, leading the way to the eventual success that the franchise had at the end of the decade. While guys like James, Mike Stanley, Danny Tartabull, and others got the Yanks back on track, they weren't around to experience the titles. It's too bad, because those guys really deserve more credit than they got. Oh, what could have been in 1994...
Anyways, I'm pleased with this TTM return, and thank Mr. James for returning the cards so quickly
Hopefully I'll get up another post or two over the next couple days, but if not, I'll see you in a week or two. If I don't see you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
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.
