Hosted by Drew Pelto and Arron Littleton, and produced by Ruthie Baker, TTMCast is Your Sports Collectibles Podcast!
Our show’s founder, Jeff Baker, got into collecting autographs through the mail (TTM) in 2018 and started the show in January of 2019 as a way to build the hobby community. When Jeff passed away in 2023, his daughter Ruthie and co-host Drew decided to honor his legacy and continue the show. Twice a month Drew and Arron share news from the collecting world, update you on their TTM successes, and interview fellow collectors and hobby experts.

Arron Littleton was born and raised in Wichita Falls, TX and started graphing at age 10 when the Dallas Cowboys held training camp at the city's Midwestern State University. Football turned to baseball as he and his mom discovered the players' entrance in Arlington, and a trip to visit his brother in Michigan led to the start of the Eternal Graphing Tour. Professionally, Arron is a 4-time champion gymnastics coach and hosts the Coach On Command podcast.
