Weekly TTM and other additions (2/15 – 2/21)

Not a bad week. I received several autographs TTM including a couple for my 1962 Topps set.
Jake Gibbs (1962 Topps)
Ed Hobaugh (2nd auto on 1962 Topps Senators team card)
Ed Roebuck (1962 Topps)
Jim Landis (1962 Topps)
Mike de la Hoz (1962 Topps)
Chuck Essegian (1962 Topps)
Jim Thome (2003 Upper Deck Vintage)
Ty Cline (1965 Topps)
Ty Cline (1966 Topps)
Ty Cline (1966 Topps Cubs team)
……
and my favorite return this week was from Marlan Coughtry. I have been looking for Mr. Coughtry for quite some time. Every once in a while I check to see if he is doing any signings. Each time I come up with nothing. I was finally able to locate Marlan and I wrote him a letter asking if it was ok if I sent him a card to sign. He wrote back in under a week giving me the okay. I was thrilled when I got this card back today along with a nice letter. I was able to finish off this Rookie Parade card for my set and met another nice former player TTM. Thanks again!

    Super website, Kyle and Tyler. I can’t imagine a single boy in America who wouldn’t want to collect sports autographs with his Dad.

    I’m impressed with your pursuits of 1962 Topps and questionnaires.

    Why not combine the two?

    Current and former players are smitten with their cards. Even if they don’t collect, they can wax on about the details in the photo. See how many can tell you details about what’s seen (or unseen) on their card.

    Keep up the great collecting!

    Thanks for the kind words Tom. We really enjoy collecting the guys from the 60′s. I like your idea of combining the two. We’ll give that a shot with the next round we send out. It will be interesting to see what kinds of responses we get.

    I like your blog as well. Very unique.

    Thanks again,
    Kyle
