Got a few TTM/Custom Card success back recently that I wanted to share. Alex Gillett (WR, Present), Scott Tolzien (QB, Present), Jamari Lattimore (LB, 2011-Present), Davon House (CB, 2011-Present), Matt LaBounty (DE, 1994-95) & Matthew Mulligan (TE, 2013 Preseason)
Also wanted to share a cool story having to do with the Matthew Mulligan card. It showed up in a medium sized manila envelope (all my return envelopes are standard sized PWEs). First thing I see when I open it is a 2 page handwritten letter from his wife, Stephanie, thanking me for the support and my letter. The letter talked about his journey through the NFL and their faith in god to Matthew currently being with the New England Patriots which allows them to be able to live only 30 minutes from her 94 year old grandmother.
She went on to mention that both she and Matthew deeply appreciated the extra custom card I sent along to keep as he had always dreamed about having a trading card of himself (Maybe one of the card companies can take note!). In addition to signing my custom, they included a 4x6 signed photo of Matthew with the Patriots, sent back my return envelope with the unused stamp on it for me to reuse and included another postage stamp to cover the one from the original envelope I sent.
I was pretty much blown away! I've gotten letters back from former players and small notes from current ones, but never anything like this! I wanted to do something to thank them both, so I decided to make a set of cards for them that highlights his career through college and the pros, including a custom design for the back of all 7 cards which can be found below along with a pic of the letter and autographs I received. Thanks for looking!
