Collector's Corner: TTM Project Update

I sent out the first batch of the TTM project last Friday (5/23/2008) to the following players:
Hank Aaron - Braves
Adrian Cardenas - Clearwater
John Danks - White Sox
Ross Detwiler - Potomac
Sean Doolittle - Stockton
Livan Hernandez - Twins
Jason Heyward - Rome
Ubaldo Jimenez - Rockies
Matt LaPorta - Huntsville
Chris Perez - Cardinals
Mark McCormick - Springfield
Dustin Pedroia - Red Sox
Ryne Sandberg - Peoria
Max Scherzer - Diamondbacks
Joe Smith - Mets
Miguel Tejada - Astros
Jess Todd - Springfield
Matt Wieters - Frederick

I changed some of the list, but I have the other guys from the old list ready to go for part two. I've seen recent successes with Hank Aaron c/o the Braves and Ryne Sandberg c/o the Peoria Chiefs, so I figured I'd send a low value card.

Well, after 5 days I have my first success: Chris Perez of the Cardinals. I sent 1 card and 2 tickets from his MLB debut (and I offered one to him, which he declined - I am sending him the ticket from his first win, which I told him I have). He also answered the questions I sent him, which will be used in a future article. So, I'm sitting at 6% success rate (1 for 18).

I'll keep everyone updated.
