EBay Addition: Jesse Carlson

The second card in the lot from EBay. Jesse it appears is already out of baseball after being released last year by the Red Sox.

EBay Addition: Dustin McGowan

I was meandering through EBay last week and found someone had posted a lot of new Signed 2008 Ginters. I contacted them and was able to get three of them combine with shipping for under 8.00. The first of which was Dustin McGowan. All three of them have nice signatures, I like the placement of this one and the add number.

TTM Return: John Lackey

The successes for the 2008 Allen and Ginter set has been slow lately. Mr. Lackey keeps the dream alive with this return. He also signed and returned a 2009 Ginter as well.

Thanks John!

TTM Return: Justin Masterson

It has been a while since I have been able to post any progress on the 2008 Ginter set. Lately I have been having more success moving my 2012 Olympic Hopefuls set forward. If you didn't know already, I am starting the Olympic set. I created a new blog for it for organizational reasons, take a look if your interested.

Is it just me, or does Justin look like the young version of Dr. Graham from Field of Dreams?

Thanks Justin!

TTM Return: Kevin Van Dam

Added another non-baseball card to our collection this weekend. Keven Van Dam, is another card I should have sent to a while back, he is known to be a good TTM signer.

Thanks Kevin!

TTM Return: Andrew "William Ocean" Litz

Yet another card that should have been sent a long time ago. Litz has a good record for TTM successes. I had to do a you tube search to really see what he is about, and I would recommend it. Pretty entertaining.

Thanks Andrew!

TTM Return: Mark Spitz

Here is another return that I should have attempted long ago. I have seen many signed Mark Spitz cards but never sent an attempt myself. There seems to be a couple cards like this that I need to jump on. Bruce Jenner was a good signer when I first started, but I think I missed that window as the address others have used is now coming up RTS.

I always enjoy getting the Olympic athletes in this set returned. Spitz seems to favor the vertical signature on these cards, and this is no exception. 

Thanks Mark!
