Yesterday was such a day. Not knowing who might have returned a signed card, I opened it and these three cards popped out:
Thanks goodness I haven't moved addresses since 2016.
It just goes to show that you truly can never write-off a TTM request. It also goes to show how important it is to keep records. My current spreadsheet only dates back to 2015. I lost a few hundred records to a work computer malfunction back in 2015. Dumb. That's why I use google sheets now, and always have access to it.
Thanks to Mr. Wily Mo Pena for returning these cards signed.
I'm surprised that players are signing multiple cards.
ReplyDeleteWhen I send multiple cards I almost always ask them to sign one and keep the rest. Often they do, sometimes they don't and send all the cards back signed or unsigned.
Delete"Thanks goodness I haven't moved addresses since 2016."
ReplyDeleteDidn't you move twice since 2017? Or is my brain just jumbled and I've lost all track of time?
Regardless, congrats on the long return.
Nope. Last move was into my house in 2016. But I’m sure it seems that way with all the previous moves.
DeleteThis is rather staggering and cool. Congrats! Didn't he kind of balloon in stature? Or am I confusing him with Mo Vaughan or something?
ReplyDeleteWily Mo -always a favorite name. That's a fun addition!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool. I wonder what Wily's story was. Like was this sitting at the bottom of the bag. Or maybe he just gets so many TTM requests that he's now making his way into the 2017 requests. Either way... it's always cool when a professional athlete takes the time to sign cards for fans.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Wily Mo was going to be an incredible player. Some of the home runs he hit when he first came up were McGwiresque.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing long forgotten TTM requests coming back successful, although knowing the "why" behind them coming back after so long would be pretty interesting too.
