Welcome back for another weekly TTM success post. This week brings more troubling news from Washington that could greatly affect TTM collectors who send requests internationly. Earlier this week U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Washington's plan to pull out of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in a year if the treaty isn't renegotiated. This comes from Washington's multi-level trade dispute with China that allows them to ship packages to the U.S. at discounted rates at the expense of American businesses. Pascal Clivaz the deputy director general of the UPU a 144 year old organization that's based in Switzerland told the associated press "It will have dramatic consequences for American consumers. They won't even be able to send a packages to a neighboring country. It's an accord that links everybody". Pulling out of the UPU would strip the U.S. from access to special codes needed to send and receive international mail. Hopefully Washington resolves it's trade issues with China before entering into negotiations of the UPU treaty that would require a majority vote among its members before making any changes. So it might be a good time to go ahead and get those international TTM requests out just incase Washington, China and the UPU doesn't come to an agreement. Now on to this week's TTM successes. Tuesday started our week out with one via venue return from Taso Stravrakis who signed our two photos after we wrote him while he was doing a play in our area. A great addition to our Romero zombie film collection and it only took a month to get a return. To finish off our TTM week Thursday brought a super cool and quick 10 day return from Peter Coyote who signed our photo and DVD cover. That's all for this week. Have a great graphing weekend and I'll be back next week with more TTM autographs and address's.
