Oscar Robertson

Success (1/2) - 35 days

The request was mailed last 1/21/2011 to his home address in Cincinnati, OH. I got it back on 2/25/2011. I sent 1 trading card and a custom 3R photo. 

He only signed the trading card and returned the 3R photo. I guess he only signs one item per request. I'll try him again next time.

Thank you very much Mr. Roberston for the nice auto!

Jackie Chan

Success (1/4) - 17 days

Got a return from my favorite action star!

The request was mailed last 2/8/2011 to his Production company in Hong Kong. I got it back on 2/25/2011. My fastest return so far. I sent 3 custom 3R photos and an index card. 

He only signed the index card but personalized it. He didn't return my 3R photos. Maybe it was misplaced or sent to another (lucky) fan. Nevertheless, I consider this a great success. It's also my first personalized autograph.

Thank you very much Jackie for the cool autograph!

Lenny Wilkens

 Success (3/3) - 31 days

The request was mailed last 1/24/2011 to his home address in  Medina, WA. I got it back on 2/24/2011. I sent 2 custom 3R photos and an index card. He signed all 3.

Great success from a 3-time basketball hall of famer - 1989 as a player, 1998 as a coach, and 2010 as a member (assistant coach) of the 1992 Dream Team.

This is my favorite return so far. Awesome golden sharpie autograph! He even cutout a cardboard and inserted it in the return envelop to protect the photos. I think it was very thoughtful of him to do this. 


Thank you very much Coach Wilkens for being great to your fans!!!

Joe Dumars

 Success (3/3) - 42 days

The request was mailed last 1/213/2011 c/o the Detriot Pistons address. I got it back on 2/24/2011. I sent 2 custom 3R photos and a trading card. He signed all 3.

I really like the signed Panini Classic card! This will probably go down as one of my favorite TTM auto trading card. One of the 3R photo has glue spilled on it (lower left) but I can't complain with the nice autograph. The last 3R photo goes to my son's personal collection. This is his first TTM success.

Thank you Mr. Dumars for being very good to your fans!!!

Damon Stoudamire

Success (3/3) - 31 days

The request was mailed last 1/24/2011 c/o the Memphis Grizzlies address where is an Assistant Coach. I got it back on 2/24/2011. I sent 2 custom 3R photos and 2 trading cards. He signed all 4!

It would have been awesome if he signed on the right portion of the custom 3R photo but I shouldn't really complain. Awesome success!

I also had success with him last year but the trading card was damaged during transit.  

Thank you Mr. Stoudamire for being great to your fans!!!

Dirk Nowitzki


 Success (1/2) - 42 days

The request was mailed last 1/13/2011 c/o the Dallas Mavericks address. I got it back on 2/24/2011. I sent 1 custom 3R photo and a trading card. He only signed the custom photo.

Great success from a great superstar! This is also my 2nd success with him.

Thank you Mr. Nowitzki for being very good to your fans!!!

Here's my success last year.

Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues


Success (2/2) - 98 days

The request was mailed last 11/18/2010 to his home address in Charlotte, NC. I got it back on 2/24/2011. I sent 2 trading cards and he signed them both.

I love the crisp and clear autograph. He also sent a printed thank you letter. I'm very happy with this success.

Thank you Mr. Bogues for being good to your fans.

Avery Johnson


Success (3/3) - 132 days

The request was mailed on 10/12/2010 c/o New Jersey Nets address where he is now the head coach. I got it back on 2/21/2011. I sent 2 custom 3R photos and 1 trading card. He signed all 3.

I love the Proverbs 3:5 inscription - "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". Great success!

Thank you Coach Johnson for being good to your fans.

Gary Payton


Success (2/2) - 22 days

This my first TTM success for 2011. I sent this custom 3R photo last 1/13/2011 to his home address and received it on 2/4/2011. Fast turnaround considering I'm from the Philippines.

I also sent a card but somehow it was switched with someone else's card. He signed it though. Overall, I still consider this a great success.

Thank you Mr. Payton for being good to your fans.
