Cpt. Caveman's TTM Autographs #67

-
Welcome back for another weekly TTM success post. I hope everyone had a great graphing week. Well the temperature is starting to drop and the leaves are changing colors here in West Virginia so that means the holiday season is quickly approaching. The holiday season is a great time for friends and family but through my experience its a bad time for TTM returns. IV noticed since IV started keeping track of who I write to and keeping dates the number of our returns drop off dramatically during the months of November and December. I'm hoping this year proves my theory wrong because Its been a while since IV had a month long dry spell. I noticed my number of returns dropped to one or two every week or two instead of the normal 3 to 5 returns a week we usually average. My guess for this happening is the same reason we're all busy during that time the celebs are busy with family and friends during the holidays so they have less time for fan mail. This year im going to fight the holiday slump by upping the number of requests we send out per week. Hopefully that will help fix that problem. Ill just have to wait until after the new year and see how it goes. Now on to this weeks successes. Monday started the week off with three returns. First after just under two and a half years we received our picture back unsigned from James Lovell he also sent a printed letter thanking us but also informing us that he doesn't sign do to the amount of requests he gets. What I expected but we had to try. The first success of the day was from The Walking Deads T-Dog. We received one of the two pictures we sent to IronE Singleton back signed. I took awhile just under a year and a half to return but well worth the wait for another amazing addition to our Walking Dead collection unfortunately the address we used has been coming back as RTS. To finish off the day Winter received a nice signed picture from Kaitlyn Dias. She loved "Inside Out" so she's super happy with this one and it only took about a month to receive it after she sent an email requesting an autograph. IV seen some get an autograph just by emailing and others have gotten an email giving an address and asking to send a SASE large enough for a 5x7. Tuesday brought a return from Eli Manning. Winter sent him two cards and both returned signed. I didn't think they would return so fast it only took five weeks because about the time she sent her letter I noticed a few people getting a letter back saying he was done signing until the end of the regular season. Now IV seen a few other good returns since then so I'm not sure if we just caught him towards the end or we just got lucky either way we're happy. Thursday brought two very cool returns. First after only nineteen days we received our CD booklet back signed by one of my all time favorite rockers Billy Idol. This amazing VV return just made the top of my all time favorite TTM returns and he also signed our letter and sent it back. To finish off the day a great return from Gena Rowlands. She only signed one of the pictures we sent but she added two extra signed 8x10's using her own envelope and postage. Such a lovely person and only took twenty days to return. That's it for this week. Have a great weekend and hopefully it's not your favorite character on The Walking Dead that falls victim to Lucille this Sunday. Ill be back next week with more TTM autographs and addresses.
