TTM Success #43 - Hometown Hero

A couple of weeks ago there was a PWE on the table that I knew was a TTM autograph return.  It has been awhile since I sent anything out, leaving me a little more excited than normal.  I looked at the postmark and couldn't think of who it would be from. 


It turns out that it was not being returned to me from where it was sent.  In the summer I sent a request to Jedd Gyorko, at the St. Louis Cardinals' address.  His offseason residence is still in Morgantown, WV.  I wasn't sure what to expect inside.  Was it one card, or three?


It was one card, a 2017 Topps Heritage card.  The reason I wasn't sure what to expect is that last summer, I sent three Heritage cards (from 2011, 2013 and 2014) to get signed.  My goal is to get the Heritage card from each season signed.  It looks like I will have to send the other years again.  Ah well, it happens with TTM requests. 

I really hope that Gyorko has Heritage cards in 2019 and 2020.  The 1970 and 1971 Topps sets are a couple of my favorties!
