First of all, I know it’s only one game, and even though the Marlins have a lot of talent, they’re not necessarily the pride of the National League. For the Mets to get that first win under their belt was huge though, especially the way that they went about it. Their Ace pitched like an […]

2010 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Nick Evans Black Border Evans is one of those guys who I had really high hopes for, solely for the fact that in his first game as a Met, he hit three doubles. I guess I can’t really blame him for not panning out as I had hoped. I […]

2010 SlangKo Award Winners Marty Marion Here we have a very nice looking (if I do say so myself) autographed custom of one Mr. Marty Marion. I was kind of especially excited to get this TTM request back successfully. I tend to get a little more excited about autographs the further back the particular players […]

2010 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond John Maine Black Border Here is the second of the 26 TTM requests that I sent on down to Port St. Lucie, this one being of John Maine, who I believe is pitching today against the Marlins. I’m actually very interested to see how he fares today. Pretty much […]

2010 SlangKo Award Winners Bob Friend Here’s another nice through the mail autograph I got back recently. This one is of Bob Friend. Aside from having a pretty interesting last name, Mr. Friend spent 16 seasons in the Majors, 15 of which were played with the Pirates. His final year was split between, oddly enough, […]

2010 SlangKo Award Winners Al Rosen This one was another pretty quick turn around. It took a total of 8 days for this card to travel from me to Mr. Rosen, him open it, sign it, put it back in the mail and come back to New Jersey. Way to go, USPS. Al Rosen played […]

I’m not sure if I mentioned it before, but since this is my first Spring Training since I started collecting TTM autographs, I kind of went a little nuts with sending out requests to the Mets camp. I think 26 was the final tally, all custom cards. That meant designing 26 cards, making 52 cards […]

One of the first through the mail requests I had sent out, way back when I first started doing through the mail requests, was Mike Mussina. Like some of the other early requests that started to filter back in recently, I had really kind of forgotten about / given up on Mike Mussina. I know […]
