Mail Day: New TTM Success

With all of the through the mail autograph requests that I sent out for Spring Training, it's hard to believe that it's been 21 days since my last success.  Needless to say, I was thrilled to see another successful return today, especially since I'm moving in a few weeks and have concerns about future TTM returns not being delivered to my new address.

Justin Masterson, former Boston Red Sox pitcher, signed both a 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter card and a 2012 Topps Heritage card for me through the mail.  I've read that he's a great signer and was really excited to see the biblical scripture on the card as well.  I had the chance to meet Justin at an autograph signing at the Shriner's show that was put on by the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Club (GBSCC) and got his autograph on a cool 8x10 picture.  He is a very nice guy and was great with all of the fans that got his autograph that day.  It's nice to see that he signs autographs through the mail as well, and I'll have to try him again as soon as I can dig up a few of his Ginter cards from when he was a Boston Red Sox.

I'm a big fan of Justin Masterson and I hope he has a great season in 2013!  Until next time, keep collecting and reach out to me if you'd like to make any trades.

Cool story!

I've never met him personally, but my wife and I walked right past him and his family in Brookline one Sunday evening his rookie season, he had pitched that afternoon and they were going to have dinner at the Coolidge Corner Clubhouse. He seems like a nice guy overall from what I've read. Wish we still had him on the club.
