NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EEEEEEEVER BEFORE SEEN TTM!!
After 4 years of trying & near successes.... and hounding! (by me & other collectors)

Tim "Left Hook" Hague
c/o PRIVATE (Now at Black Sheep MMA, Canada)
3/3 Topps
379 days
Signed 2 of 3 for friends doing the Main Event signed base set!

I can't tell you how many empty promises Tim has given over the years to me & various collector pals of mine trying to get him back TTM.
Finally after the 4th-5th try (and these cards were meant for him & son to keep but he lost the other cards & blue Sharpie I sent him 11/18/14)
I sent (4) 2009 Main Event cards (1 for me & other 3 for collector friends doing the set) & 1 Poster Insert w/blue Sharpie and he received it & just dragged his feet so long he lost the cards & marker.
He found these 3 on his mantel & signed/sent them back after I suggested it since he was sending out the tickets he's sold recently for his up-coming title fight.
Unifed MMA, Dec 18th
One of the collectors gave up on trying to get Tim to sign his Topps that he had poor Pat Barry sign it! (pictured on the card getting finished) UGH LOL

Sorry bro you should have sent on Thursday; 'tis the season for Aldo via venue!
MGM has been decent for via venue successes in the past (mainly for foreign fighters).

mkor: just remember, there is no such thing as a 'sure thing' in the hobby of TTM. If you can't afford to not get it back, then you shouldn't send.

However, as deeakay said - Vegas is great for via venue. If you can get it there asap, you may still be in luck. I've gotten Aldo via MGM once in the past.

How do you guys address it to the MGM Grand? The fighters name, c/o MGM Grand then the street address? Or do you put UFC on there somewhere? I know it's far too late for these events to be sending from the UK, but might try it some time in the future.

Spencer Fisher
701 6th Street
Bettendorf IA 52722

Sent: 07/2013
Recd: 12/08/2015
Days: Nearly 900

Photo had already been signed by Curt Warburton from a previous TTM. Glad to see Spencer is still signing fanmail. I haven't seen or heard anything from him for quite a while. Package was postmarked from the Quad Cities, so looks like he hasn't gone anywhere.

Nice Fisher return. I was a fan of his, a lot of fun fights and some nice finishes in his career.
