I sent out my first batch!

[ifish73]

I sent out my first wave of TTM requests yesterday for my Doctor Who collection.  A big thanks to Nigel for trading me postage so I can start this endeavor.

Here are the first five I sent:

Peter Davison - was told this is a tough one and with him being on SVU now it can't be any easier

Colin Baker, Carole Ann Ford, William Rusell and Maureen O'Brien.

Hopefully I will get some extras so I can trade with some people down the road.

After I get my sea legs on here if anyone wants to trade postage US for UK I can be your US contact!:-)

It was a good trade of stamps Ian, thank you. Glad you liked the two extras I included. I dipped into the stamps you sent me for the first time on Monday, and sent a couple of requests Stateside.

Good luck with the results and good to know we have someone to get American stamps from

[ifish73]

Curious to how long on average it takes for a request to come back.  I am anxious since this is my first TTM's I have ever sent.  I know that I have a longer than usual time because of it being delivered overseas.

[norwichcity78]

How longs a piece of string.......:-D

some come back quicker than others and its really hard to put a time scale on how long to be honest but they do usually come back to you in the end, i cant say ive had to many failures in the 6yrs ive been collecting..Elton John, Ian McDiarmid, Paul McCartney, and a few BIG American actors are the only ones ive ever failed with. Good luck on your returns and cant wait to see the results

[thehornets]

Hi Ian. Don't panic about the lack of replies yet. All the people you wrote to take a long time, but will get back to you apart from Peter Davison who is tough. Hopefully he will prove me wrong now and give you a glorious reply. 🙂

[ifish73]

Just being anxious!  I am going to send out another five as soon as I can write them up.
