NOTES:

I mean, it was a bit annoying to see Ted signing TTM in 2024 after years of failures stringing back to 2005. So I said to myself, “Why not?”, And packed up a few of his great cards and sent them off for him to autograph. He responded in a pretty fast 8 days.

NOTES:

Big Ted doesn’t really sign through the mail so I decided to pick up this set need via EBay. I was comfortable picking up this autograph since it was from a collector located in Buffalo.
