TTM # FAKE!!

Hey guys, Drew back here. I got a TTM back late last week, but as soon as I knew who the player was, I was immediately disappointed. I sent to him not knowing the legitimacy of the autographs, but shortly after I sent it off I realized there was no possible way it was real.
 

Sure appears to be anything but an actual Mike Schmidt autograph. Here's an example of a legitimate Schmidt autograph:

 

I sent the card to the Hall of Fame, where other collectors were receiving their cards from. Obviously this seems to be signed by a ghost signer, someone outside of the actual player. I would have honestly preferred to have received nothing back rather than something that wasn't even real. It was a waste of ink for me but taught a good lesson to myself and other TTM collectors. I hate to break it to you all, but some of the autographs you may receive through the mail can be phonies. These athletes/celebrities really tend to ruin all of the fun of the TTM hobby, which really sucks.

I'm planning on keeping the card most likely, just to show as an example, but just looking at it brings disappointment to my eyes. What do you think of the monstrosities that are fake autographs?

See Ya!

Hey guys, Drew back here. I finished my box of 2010 Topps today, and I liked it even though I can care less about the relic. Tons of inserts were pulled, actually more inserts than total cards in my blaster! Anyway, I probably won't buy any more of this Series, so I'm going to rely on eBay, COMC, and you guys to help me finish off a bunch of insert sets and the base set. So, I pulled 6 Million Card Giveaway code cards, most of you know about these since they are on every blog. Winning free cards online is fun, and their way of making money is to put a shipping charge on them. So, at the end of the year I'll request a big shipment, of most of the cards that I got (that I want). I'm probably going to trade these at some point, so they won't be with me for too long. Here are the 6 cards I redeemed in my box:

1969 Topps Gary Gentry/Amos Otis Rookie Card

1971 Topps Mike Andrews


1973 Topps Mike Ryan


1974 Topps Randy Moffitt


1987 Topps Mike Schmidt


1993 Topps Reggie Jefferson

Other than Mr. Jefferson, I think I did well at a vintage standpoint. I think I might actually own the 87' Topps set but not sure, I'll have to check, so for now I may trade the Schmidt (and Boggs from my blaster). All cards are FT for Yankees on the site. See Ya!

Oh, and please check the post below you and vote for a card that you want to vote for into the Baseball Card Hall of Fame (BCHOF).
