Cpt. Caveman's TTM Autographs : Cpt. Caveman's TTM Autographs #55

Welcome back to another weekly TTM success post. I hope everyone had a great week and full mail boxes. Since this week we've been graphing the Saints ill keep my rant short. I noticed something while graphing the Saints. I saw a bunch of "Fans" turn to haters when they didn't get someone's autograph. They would go from hey I love you please sign this but when they got skipped or passed up well then they are no longer a fan I guess from all the hate and badmouthing once the player was gone lol not everyone was like that but more than a few. I realized not only does this happen with IP graphing but IV also seen TTM graphing with "Fans" unhappy with a failed attempt. Then its automatically that celebs rude and stuck up blah blah blah. These same people complaining because they didn't get an autograph I noticed were also the "Fans" with a ton of stuff for the players to sign. Books full of multiple 8x10's for most players, Balls and helmets. It just makes no sense to me. Putting down someone because they don't sign for you or they only sign for a couple people then leave. Remember no one has to sign for us either IP or TTM its a courtesy to the fans and if you fail don't get mad at them just try again later no big deal. Same thing with TTM who cares if its unsigned or a RTS you can always retry. Its just simple common courtesy and manners. No point in turning on someone simply because your disappointed. Failure makes us better. With every failed attempt you learn and hopefully change tactics and keep on graphing with a smile. I believe if you're a true fan of the person it makes no difference if you get the autograph or not. Yea its awesome to get an autograph but the experience of meeting them and trying is just as important. Anyways enough of my ranting and on to the successes. I know that's why everyone's really here anyways lol, so enjoy. Monday started the week with four returns. First we received one of the two pictures we sent back signed from Tracey Walter. He's been in so many great films. "Conan The Destroyer", "Repo Man" and "Batman" just to name a few. It took about two and a half months to return and its a great addition to my Conan cast collection. Next a very cool VV return from John C. McGinley. Iv been a fan of his work for years ever since I first watched "Platoon" and Winter loved him in "Scrubs" and "Office Space" and only took two weeks to return. The next return came from Herman's Hermits front man Peter Noone. He signed one of the two photos we sent and only took two weeks to return. I had the opportunity to see Herman's Hermits in concert back in 2006 and met Mr. Noone after the concert and he signed a promo DVD that they threw out to a few members of the audience. To finish off the day we received another PP from President Obama. We tried when he was first elected to office getting a few PP photos so I figured id write a super nice letter and try again before he left office but only got this PP card back after a couple months wait. Tuesday brought two more very cool successes. First after only seven quick day's we received both pictures we sent to Carole Cook back signed. She also sent us two really nice signed 8x10's also, such a sweet and amazing actress. To finish off the day we received our picture and autograph card back signed from Michael Jaegers who plays a few of the walkers on "The Walking Dead". He also sent us two very cool signed 8x10's and a nice thank you note telling us about his work with KNB and took just under three months to return. Thursday brought a great return from Racing Legend Richard Petty. He signed Winters picture and only took a week to return. We also received a Studio Fan Mail return from Seth Green after trying him at the "Family Guy" set address. Friday brought a return for Winter from Astronaut Robert Crippen. He signed both pictures she sent and only took ten days to return. I also received my signed "Rumours" CD I ordered from Mick Fleetwood. It only took three days to arrive. Now I just need Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie to finish my Fleetwood Mac collection. If anyone has authentic ones of them there looking to get rid of contact me lol. Saturday brought two more returns to finish off the week. First after a quick eight day wait for Joanne Linville so sign and return both Star Trek TOS pictures we sent her. To finish up the day and week we received both pictures back signed from Eric Roberts. Great addition to our collection and it only took him four months to reply. That's it for this week. Have a great weekend. Ill be back next week with more TTM autograph collecting goodness. FYI we obtained our 1000th autograph this week. Well we blew past it thanks to a great TTM week and our graphing the Saints. All in all it was a great graphing week for us.
