NOTES:

So, years ago, I got Randy TTM on his Ultimate and Wild Card World League cards. He wrote me a nice note thanking me for being a true fan and offering to help me capture any autographs that he could from any University of Miami, (FL) events. I was really touched by his kindness and it always stuck with me, but I never took him up on the offer. It’d be a titanic effort on his part in the end- since I’d probably floor him with 100 or so cards.

A few months ago I was digging through some cards that Mark G gave me, and there was a good portion of the Wild Card college set that came out in ’91. I came across this card and I was flooded with the memories of those games again in the World League and Randy’s kind response, so I thought now would be as good as time as any to send out to him.

I got this really nice handwritten response from him thanking me again for being a fan, and how his wife rushed out to the internet to look at his entry on this site and print out a copy of it. Much love Bethel family. Much love.

NOTES:

I hadn’t gotten Pat since the 90s and since he had a very inspirational looking Classic 1991 card, I thought I’d reload and send a few out. A solid signer TTM he, took care of all four cards in under 30 days.

NOTES:

Thanks to Richmond Webb, I was able to track down Bull. I had some very insightful conversation and comments back and forth with Richmond, when all of a sudden Robert started following me. Staying true to the rule I have of not trying to scare players by immediately engaging them on Twitter, I got really excited when I saw that Robert was releasing his book ‘Big Hits & Politics’. When I asked about a book signing, he and Bam Bam told me to stay tuned.

A non-signer TTM, I considered this one a major coup and a jump start to my 2022. Robert and I talked and he graciously signed the cards I brought. I even gave him a few and put them in a nice binder, since the ones he had were quite beat up.

It was a nice event. Not only was Richmond and Robert there, Kevin Smith also popped in- and I just happened to have cards of him too. Now I gotta say I stuck out like a sore thumb, but everyone was really impressed I made the journey to come down to celebrate his book and his playing career. It was a nice event, and although my phone almost died I was able to navigate my way back out of town.
