1992 Triple Play project tracker (Scans up!)

[longhornjunkie]

I'll start a new ongoing thread here starting with a double set hit I got in a return yesterday.

10/28: Lance Parrish, c/o home; regular and "Little Hotshots" cards signed in blue. Took 7 months.

One more hit should put me over 25% of the set.

Well, I haven't been doing this like I should, but I did manage to get scans up tonight:

Gonna try to keep this updated. Been through a drought but yesterday I got Mark Gubicza, 2/2 c/o home. Signed 91UD and 92TP in black in 2 weeks. Hoped to catch him at his home address before he (I assume) starts covering spring training games.

First spring training success! Alan Trammell 1/1 c/o Cubs spring training in about 2 weeks. Great sig in blue ink. My 2nd TTM auto from him.

Another spring training hit - Terry Pendleton c/o Braves! Awesome return for me as I tried to get him last year with no luck.

[longhornjunkie]

Not a TTM really but I got Tony Gwynn IP via cdahlk2001 on another site. Big thanks to him for helping. Sent him the 92TP card USPS Priority to make sure it got there for the game.

Return while I was out of town... Tony Phillips signed two 1992 Triple Play cards (his regular and "Awesome Action" card)... not totally sure if it was c/o home or Reds spring training because it was postmarked Phoenix, AZ and he lives in that area. Anyway, wasn't sure what to expect so I'm glad to get it back!

Dual sig completed on my SkyDome card, signed by Mr. Michael Allen (rec'd back on 1/12) and Mr. Rod Robbie, O.C. (rec'd 3/24), the chief engineer and architect on the project. Mr. Robbie returned my card in less than 2 weeks all the way from Toronto.

Been a drought recently, one here and there but a big one today - Tino Martinez c/o Yankees ST!
