My buddy, James, sent me a nice Christmas package that had this Moose Skowron auto that I can add to my IP/TTM album. James told me that he picked it up from his LCS for a good price. The auto looks legit, so I'm fine with it not having a COA. The card is a 1979 TCMA and is definitely one I would have sent TTM if Skowron were still alive.
Skowron (b. 1930 - d. 2012) played in the majors from 1954 to 1967 for the Yankees, Dodgers, Senators, White Sox and Angels. He had 1,566 hits, 211 home runs and a .282 batting average. He was a 6-time All Star and finished as high as 9th in the AL MVP voting (1960). He won the World Series with the Yankees in 1956, 1958, 1961 and 1962. He also won with the Dodgers in 1963. He appeared in 8 World Series in his career.
James also sent me this nice Albert Almora relic from 2013 Panini Team USA. Almora is a great up and coming ball player, and I am glad James thought to send me this card.
Thank you so much for the awesome gifts, James! I really appreciate it!
