Some TTM autograph requests sent out

I was heavily into TTM 15-20 years ago, but now the hobby is a ‘once in awhile’ thing for me where I don’t want to sink so much $$$ over resources like stamps - while slaving away to put together requests [it's not that hard, but it's kind of tedious], feeling like my only option to get stuff signed is to send things out as opposed to getting things inked up regularly in-person.

I think I'd like to be a machine where I consistently send out requests - but I usually hold off until I get an impulsive tick that needs to be scratched.

Will Clark c/o San Francisco Giants - everyone seems to get at least one from him TTM but the only time I got him was in-person last year.
Christian Arroyo c/o Sacramento River Cats - I hope to get at least one cards signed from the third base prospect since I've never had an opportunity to get him otherwise.
Paulo Orlando c/o Kansas City Royals - scrappy outfielder who has established himself as a viable big leaguer after only getting to the major leagues at 29.
Chuck Seelbach - he was the Detroit Tigers relief ace back in 1972; I pulled a 1974 Topps buyback card from a pack at least a couple of years ago and want to see if I can get it signed.
Mickey Stanley - he was a 4-time Gold Glove winner and spent 15-years with Detroit Tigers from the 1960s through nearly the end of the 1970s; I pulled a 1976 Topps buyback card from a pack at least a couple of years ago and want to see if I can get it signed.
Koji Uehara c/o Chicago Cubs - everyone seems to get at least one from him TTM.

Miscellaneous adds to my collection

I went to my LCS to see if I could get some packs of 2014 Topps Heritage Minors - as usual, I started rummaging through the quarter boxes to see if I could take some cards home.

The Koji Uehara refractor caught my eye and while it may be rather common - I picked it back up after picking out other cards to fill out the small stash of loose cards I ended up with.

Featured player - Koji Uehara

Didn't know or care about the guy pictured on the card as it was included in a team bag a friend gave me featuring seven Japanese baseball cards - with a small note he attached saying they are 'Future Major Leaguers.'

When I read this post on Orioles' Card "O" the Day - I checked if there was any Uehara cards among the seven my friend had given me and I actually found one. I guess my friend was right on the money and know I'll be looking to get the card inked up either through the mail or eventually in-person.
