August 29, 2013 JACKPOT !!!!! 11 Returns Today

Hit the jackpot today as I got back 11 returns.... but then if you mailed out over 50 TTM requests a week ago like I did, then 11 back a week later is about right.

Pat Gillick.
was a minor league pitcher in the Baltimore Orioles organization in the early 1960s but he had arm trouble and that was that. He joined the Colt 45s in 1964 as an asst farm director and stayed with the Astros until 1974, then joined the Yankees, Blue Jays, Orioles, Mariners and Phillies. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2010.

Tim Johnson
I had made some customs of Mr Johnson with the LA Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers but I got back 4 different items back. Not sure if Mr Johnson kept my customs and sent these back or he sent me someone else's items by mistake and mine to someone else. So if anyone has my customs, I may have your cards....

Chris Floethe
was a pitcher in the Oakland A's minor league system from 1968-1974. He tried to sign the front of the cards but his ink pen wouldn't work on the glossy paper.so he signed them all on the back.
