Firerunner4's Success Thread

[Firerunner4]

Hey all...I will continuously update this as I get more success's....I am addicted to TTM! I just started this year and so far had returns from Brad Zeigler, Garret Richards, Vance Worely, and Preston Clairbourne. Today I got back one I never thought I would see again. I mailed it on March 6th and got it back today, April 7th, Aroldis Chapman!.....I sent it PWE and the envelope was wet when I got it and there's a minor smudge....but I can careless, it's still awesome!

I have been a life long Pirates fan so my new project is a hard cover photo book of the them. I made it on Shutterfly with 20 pages, it's 8x8. Each page is a different player.....my idea is to get each page signed by the pictured player. I know this will take a long time, a lot of work, and a hell of a lot of luck but it's my long term goal. Some of them are good TTM signers that I have no problem sending to (Melancon, Grilli, Neil Walker, Tony Watson), however others such as Cutch,Russell Martin,and Marte I'm going to have to get IP somehow. The book should be here sometime next week and I'm going to send it right out, if I have any success I'll post it here

I was digging around my parents attic earlier this week in Pennsylvania while I was up there visiting, I completely forgot I wrote letters when I was around 8 or 9. I found two returns in a box of my stuff tucked away. One from Jerry Rice and one from Paul Kariya, who I loved when I was growing up. It was awesome to find!

I'm not sure about the black and white photo, but if you were to get his autograph on a Padres photo, i think you'd have one from every team he's played with

Wow 8 photos in one request?

[Firerunner4]

I only asked for one or two and told him to keep the ones he liked, he just signed them all and didn't keep any. I wouldn't ask for that many nor expect it, I was surprised when I got them all back

[dbacksfan4life]

Are those 8x10s? Very nice of him to sign all of them.

They're 4x6's, I can't believe he signed all them, I didn't ask/expect him to, I just thought they were cool pictures and asked him to sign one or two and keep the rest that he liked. I've read on other forums that he's incredibly nice, I guess this proves it

Will Venable from the Padres, about 5 months
