TTM Success

 Hello friends!

I wanted to share with you today my first ever TTM return. 

I had a short conversation with Joe on Twitter and made mention that I was looking to get a card autographed for a project I'm working on. He had me explain the project to him; Basically trying to get an autograph from as many Canadian born players as possible. He had me send it to him care of the Jays. 

I got it in the mailbox today. 

When I asked, this was the only card I had of his. Since then I got a card of him with the Marlins. I'm thinking at some point to maybe make a custom of him and Denis Boucher mentioning their being the first Canadian battery in years when they did it in 1993. 

I'm very happy I was able to get this one. 

Cards and an Update

 Hello friends!

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but I've been dealing with some issues, as normal.. 

For about a month all I wanted to do was withdraw from everyone and everything. I forced myself to go outside and socialize with people in the building I live in, and also forced myself to sometimes comment on different card sites or groups. 

I'm pulling myself out of it, but it's a struggle. I've wanted to do absolutely nothing. 

I know the community here is great and I'm glad to be part of it. 

Anyway, onto cards...

A little while ago, I picked up the 1991 Topps Traded factory set thing. The package is weird compared to the previous years. 

I wanted to highlight some cards I like or found interesting for whatever reason..

Tom Candiotti. I like the placement with the CN Tower in the background. 

He was a rental for the Jays in 1991

Rick Cerone. I don't know why, but I like this photo. He's also someone who has played for both the Jays and Expos, AND the Yankees/Mets.. 

Kirk Dressendorfer. I just like the name. I remember he was supposed to be one of the young aces for the A's along with Todd Van Poppel and I think someone else, but I can't remember... 

Obligatory Expos card in here. This is listed on TCDB as a Fassero rookie. 

It's so weird seeing Tony in a Padres uniform. 

The 1991 Traded set has players from Team USA in it.. Giambi is one of those players. Turned out to have a decent career.. 

Gibson in a Royals uniform is just weird.. 

Fred McGriff. Part of the blockbuster trade that brought Alomar and Carter to Toronto. I kind of get why the Jays parted with McGriff, as they had Olerud as well. But I can't stop thinking about a lineup with McGriff, Carter and Olerud... 

Jays draft pick Jeff Ware as part of Team USA. I think he's a pitching coach somewhere now.. 

I just like this photo

Bagwell in one of the Astros unis I loved. 

Raines in a White Sox uniform. When I first started watching baseball, he was a Sock.. I found out about his Montreal ties through reading the back of the cards and other stuff. Even though he's finally in the Hall, he's a very underrated player, considering he was playing in the Rickey era.
