Recently, I've been feeling a little bummed. In a few of the forums I follow, I've seen some CC Sabathia TTM autos rolling in from guys who sent to him a year or two ago. I sent him a request last spring, but as I mentioned yesterday, mail forwarding hasn't been very kind to me. I was worried I'd never get it back.
However, in the stack of mail that the current tenants graciously put aside for me, there was one lone TTM SASE. I really, really wanted it to be Sabathia, and was thrilled when this fell out:
Yessssss!
I couldn't remember which card I even sent to him, but I think I made a good choice. The signature looks great, and you really can't argue with a Topps Heritage of any kind. The surface is ripe for an auto, so there was no bubbling or anything of the sorts.
This is my first Sabathia auto, as I don't own any certified autos of his. I'm very, very happy to add this!
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.

Awesome return! Between Clemens and CC, you've been getting some stellar rotation returns lately. What's next? Tanaka, Petite, Mussina? Haha!
ReplyDeleteI've gotten Pettitte and Mussina before! Tanaka would be awesome.
DeleteThis is an awesome return
ReplyDeleteI bet it is extra rewarding to get the established guys. It is always cool to see that some of them still sign.
