Although spring training TTM success rates have been putrid over the last few years, every once in awhile one finds their way back following the season.
This happened this past week, as I unexpectedly found this waiting for me in my mailbox:
Cool! I enjoyed Neil Walker's year as a Yankee in 2018. He proved to be a very solid, versatile player. However, he was one and done in the Pinstripes, and played 2019 as a Marlin. That probably was not fun for him.
Walker has had a good reputation as a TTM signer, and I really appreciate having a signed card of him in a Yankees uniform.
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.

Now we eagerly await a return from Stephen Drew.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the TTM return. The 2018 design looks good signed.
ReplyDeleteAwesome return.
ReplyDeleteNice return. As a Marlins fan, and therefore a fan of a team with a lot of Yankees influences, it was great to see how the younger players interacted with guys like Neil, Grandy, Prado etc. Despite the rough product on the field it felt like those guys kept the clubhouse in good shape throughout the season.
