back in july of 2016, i sent a ttm request to former dodger toby hall. i included one of his 2006 topps update and highlight cards - it may well be the only card showing him as a dodger - and hoped for the best. just over twenty-six months later, i received this:
that is clearly not the card i sent. rather, it is a 2002 bowman heritage (black box version). this is not the first time that i've had such a mixup (rick dempsey is the other), and while i do appreciate the return of a card, i'd rather it be the one showing hall with the dodgers. if you, or anyone you know, mistakenly received a 2006 topps update card from toby, and would rather have a 2002 bowman heritage card instead, please let me know!
Wouldn't you love to sit down with Toby and find out what exactly happened here? Did he accidentally mix up the TTM request? Did he not have a copy of your 2006 Topps Update and this was his way of acquiring it? Did his wife or girlfriend think he looked better on the 2006 card? I know that I'd love to know what happened and I've never even heard of Toby Hall.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Toby. His rookies arrived about the same time I let the hobby. Why did it take over two years for a return? Is he that busy these days? Sorry you didn't receive the correct card in return. If you're willing to wait a couple more years, you could try again.
