Jacob Caffrey (TTM)

I first met Jacob Caffrey at the 2018 Norfolk Admirals training camp and when I got him to sign his card he said it was "fucking sweet".  Additionally, he is from the same town I was born so I definitely felt like I needed more cards in my collection. He played NCAA D1 his freshman and sophomore years and transfered to a D3 school for his last 2 years of college hockey. He played in 2 SPHL games at the conclusion of his senior season. I decided to message him on Instagram a few months after I had met him and I told him I could make him cards and I sent him 10 cards, 5 to keep, 5 to sign, which came back in less than a month. A few months later (early December), his mother messaged me to purchase 3 sets of the cards I had sent him. I said I would charge 50 cents a card (my standard rate; for 15 cards) and then charge 3.50 or 4.00 for shipping. I would also throw in 3 copies of a bonus "Hometown Heroes" card, and 2 additional for Jacob to return and sign. I included a SASE. Those 2 cards came back signed today, on both the front and the back. My only complaint is he signed over the picture of the hospital I was born in the picture of city. Not going to post this address because of the nature of this TTM. Caffrey currently plays in the SPHL for the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs.
