Jeff Suppan

Mailed on 6/20/11 and received 4/4 back on 8/8/11. Mr. Suppan is a long time big leaguer and is now working his way back in the minors. He is in AAA with the Omaha Storm Chasers, who are affiliated with the Kansas City Royals. Unfortunately Mr. Suppan smudged all four of these cards and a couple of them are pretty bad. It seems like he just quickly signed them and flipped to the next you which smudged them. Oh well, the Cardinals cards look decent. Cards were mailed to the Omaha Storm Chasers.

Jamie Moyer

Mailed on 7/18/11 and received 4/4 back on 8/6/11. Mr. Moyer has long been one of the best signers TTM and he didn't let me down. I also got him in 2008 and both times the cards have turned out great. Mr. Moyer is rehabbing some injuries and working his way back to the bigs! I hope he pitches until he is 80! How cool is it that one of the cards he signed for me is from 1990 and another is from 2011. What a beast keep it up Mr. Moyer! Cards were mailed to the Phillies.

Heath Bell

Mailed on 7/12/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/5/11. Awesome success from one of the best closers in baseball. I'm glad to see that Mr. Bell didn't get traded away from San Diego, he has said he wants to stay there and I hope they are able to re-sign him this summer. He is a great guy, a man of faith and he is fun to follow on Twitter. This card got a little smudged when he put in back into the case I sent it with but still looks good. Unique touch with the red sharpie, I don't mind a changeup every once in a while. Cards were mailed to the Padres.

Jason Jennings

Mailed on 7/1/11 and received 3/4 back on 8/5/11. Mr. Jennings is currently playing with the Grand Prarie Airhogs which is an independent league team. Mr. Jennings had some great years and some not so great years. He was a big free agent signing by my Astros and didn't quite live up to the contact but he was still a nice player. Hopefully he is able to make a comeback to the big leagues soon. He didn't sign my card which showed him hitting which was a pretty cool card but glad with the three cards I did get. Cards were mailed to the Grand Prarie Airhogs.

Trot Nixon

Mailed on 7/23/11 and received 2/4 back on 8/5/11. Mr. Nixon had a great career in the MLB. He was a professional hitter in every sense and always seemed to get it done in the big spots. He kept two of the cards that I sent but thats ok because these two turned out great. Cards were mailed to his home.

Kyle Waldrop

Mailed on 7/26/11 and received 3/3 back on 8/5/11. Kyle is a former first round draft pick by the Twins and is currently in AAA. I first got to see him play a few years back when he was with the Beloit Snappers and I had these cards left over from those days and decided to send them off. I saw that he was signing and decided to get these to him. Nice neat signature on all three of the cards I sent, quick response, overall very happy. Cards were mailed to the Rochester Red Wings.

Jordan Zimmermann

Mailed on 7/23/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/4/11. Nice return from a promising young star for the Nationals. Coming off of Tommy John surgery, Mr. Zimmermann has been a bit up and down this season but hopefully he can gain back his consistency and he the great pitcher he is capable of. Great blue sharpie on this card makes this success look awesome. Card was mailed to the Nationals.

Toby Hall

Mailed on 6/20/11 and received 1/3 back on 8/4/11. I can honestly say this one of the first returns I've ever been disappointed with. I sent this card with two other very nice insert cards of Mr. Hall. I bought the two inserts off of ebay a while back when Mr. Hall was with the Astros planning on sending them to the team. He got injured and disappeared for a while. He is now playing with the Camden Riversharks so I was pumped to send to him. But much to my dismay he kept my two very nice cards and sent back the one card I just threw in with the other two. I wish he would have at least replaced my cards with two other ones. I hate to bitch about getting cards signed for free but this one was a little disappointing. I just hope those two cards go into his personal collection and he enjoys them. Cards were mailed to the Camden Riversharks.

Mike Timlin

Mailed on 7/18/11 and received 2/3 back on 8/2/11. A couple nice signatures from Mr. Timlin! He kept my older Topps card but thats ok with me. Nice signature out of Mr. Timlin. He was on the mound in some huge moments for Red Sox teams a couple years ago. Very nice to add him to my collection. Cards were mailed to his home.

Dan Wheeler

Mailed on 6/30/11 and received 2/2 back on 8/1/11. I'm a Houston Astros fan so its always fun for me to get guys like Mr. Wheeler who had a great tenure with the 'stros. Dan was awesome out of the pen for the astros for a few years and he was on the world series team. He is currently with the Red Sox still getting outs. I sent this request out not knowing if he signs through the mail. I have a card that is a dual card with Chad Qualls and Dan Wheeler on it that is already signed by Qualls so I'll have to send that one out soon. Cards were mailed to the Red Sox.
