Blog Bat Around: The Post Without Words (let the picture(s) speak)

To Infinity And BEYOND!

I have always been a huge fan of Tim Allen's whether it was Home Improvement, Last Man Standing or a few of his movies including Wild Hogs, so adding his TTM autograph was a need for my collection since I haven't ever seen him sign for a card company.

So a couple of years ago, I sent these terrible copies I made for him to sign. You can barely see the autographs on them and I was extremely disappointed in the way they turned out.

So when Autograph Blog re-posted an address to send to Tim, I jumped on it again. I did my usually index card mailing and within a few weeks I got something back. The problem, it was a facsimile signed photo. Never even got the index card back.

So that added some salt to my wound, but I didn't give up and sent him a request again. This time I sent a couple of better looking photos including the cover off from my Toy Story 2 DVD. Being the great guy he is, Tim took the time and signed both and sent them back.

 

These look much better than the last time I sent him stuff to sign.

I hope to get these framed and hang them in the man cave. I do however find it odd that his signature on his facsimile photo is so far off from his hand signed versions. But, one would take a guess that he gets tons of mail and signs a shorter version just to get something signed for the fans. Which is great and appreciated.

How many times have you attempted to get the "just right" signature from a TTM signer?

TTM: Tim Allen Did Me Right!

If you read the blog last week, you would have known I sent out an TTM request to Tim Allen.

Well, he responded with a photo and a printed signature. I was happy just for the response, but still wanted more from one of my favorites. So I sent a few physical items that were more personal to a better address hoping for better results.

Well, looks like he did me right this time...

 

 

I just wished I could had lightened the color on the photocopies I had sent but this time he "on-card signed" them. That's right, Tim Allen, the legend, physically touched these and signed them. Well, saying it that way makes me sound creepy lol.

 

A big thanks goes out to Tim for taking a second out to sign these for me. They will be framed and added to the man cave wall as pieces of remembrance from my childhood. 

Have you guys ever sent a request to Tim? Have you ever re-sent in a request to actually get something signed after your first attempt was a fail? How did that go?

TTM:Success? Tim Allen

The title is quite different isn't it?

I can say what I got back was a success as I did receive something back from Tim Allen. But, I don't believe I would call it a TTM auto success.

Awhile back, I am behind on posting a few of these, I sent a request to Tim Allen with a handwritten note and a blank white filler card to be signed. It took well over a month for a response, but one came and when I got it, I had actually forgotten I sent it.

This photo at first glance seems to contain a legit autograph from the legend. I was super stoked to get this back from the guy who played on Home Improvement, was Santa for my childhood, went to infinity and beyond and plays in one of my favorite shows of today, Last Man Standing.

 

But upon further research and some investigating, I see this isn't an autograph and is just a printed photo.

 

 

Still a cool piece for my man cave, just not what I was hoping for.

 

However, I did re-mail a new request out to Tim at a different address hoping for better results. This time instead of sending a black white filler card to sign, I sent some photocopied pictures hoping to catch his attention more.

I actually already know the results of my mailing and will let you guys know in a few days as I am still trying to catch up on posts.
