118T. Tom Tellmann (Front) (Back)
119T. Walt Terrell (Front) (Back)
120T. Mickey Tettleton (Front) (Back)

Kent Tekulve has an 81% success rate on SCN, with recent successes. We'll give him a try.

Tom Tellmann has only a 68% success rate on SCN, with no successes since early last summer. We'll pass on him.

Walt Terrell has a 71% success rate on SCN, but a good number of recent successes. We'll send a request his way.

Mickey Tettleton has never had a success on SCN, in 25 total requests. We'll pass.

The next group:

122T. Rich Thompson (Front) (Back)
123T. Alex Trevino (Front) (Back)
124T. John Tudor (Front) (Back)

Derrel Thomas has an 85% success rate on SCN with some recent successes. He's a bit hit or miss (he occassionally returns cards unsigned, as he did to me in 2009), but we'll give him a shot.

Rich Thompson has an 85% success rate on SCN, with recent successes. We'll give him a try.

Alex Trevino has only a 44% success rate on SCN, with no successes since 2005. We'll skip him.

John Tudor has an 89% success rate on SCN with recent successes. We actually sent this card to him when he came up in an earlier project, and had a success, which can be seen here.

126T. Bobby Valentine (Front) (Back)
127T. Dave Von Ohlen (Front) (Back)
128T. U.L. Washington (Front) (Back)

Jose Uribe is deceased. RIP.

Bobby Valentine has an 87% success rate with recent successes. I'll try him care of Red Sox ST.

Dave Von Ohlen has only a 40% success rate on SCN, so we'll skip him.

U.L. Washington has only one success on SCN, and it was back in 2001. We'll pass.

The last four:

129T. Earl Weaver (Front) (Back)
130T. Eddie Whitson (Front) (Back)
131T. Herm Winningham (Front) (Back)
132T. Checklist 1-132 (Front) (Back)

Earl Weaver charges a fee, and is a bit sporatic. We'll skip him.

Eddie Whitson has a 62% success rate on SCN, but no successes since 2009. Appears to have stopped signing. We'll pass.

Herm Winningham has only a 19% success rate, with no successes since 2007, so we'll skip him.

Total Cards: 132
Total Requests: 46

That completes the send-out portion of this project. I'll continue to update this thread as returns come in.

I ended up sending 46 of the 132 (34.8%) of the set, and already have had successes from 25 players (54.3%).

Look for another project to start up soon and thanks for looking!
