Just out of curiosity

Today I recieved a good comment that I would like to address as a post.

Paul asks: Just out of curiosity, how many TTM autographed cards would you say you have gotten back?

That is a good question and I am curious myself. I only recently started keeping track as of this year. Mostly for the sake of Puckhound's blog and even more recently this blog. In 20 years of hounding and TTM I have never kept track of any success other than in my head via memory. I can tell you the story behind every signature I have received in person, and I know which ones the postman brought to me.

I always went with the belief that if it was meant to be, It would.

For the Record:
In the past 12 months that I have kept records, I have sent out 278 requests. I have received 14 Return To Senders, and have had 167 successful returns.

I know this isn't the best answer but it is the only one I can supply. Hope it helps.

Letter From Moody

All,

I will be on vacation from 4-2 through 4-10 and will obviously not be able to update you on TTM successes while away. Sunday Offerings will still be done. Upon my return, I will spend time catching up. I will hopefully be able to post several in-person success stories remotely while I am out. Those posts will be on Hound Central.

Thank you and see you again next week.

Moody
