I had some Matt Alexander cards set aside for a while, then finally got around to mailing them out. The cards started with this 1981 Topps that I pulled when I went through the set to see who signed. I added some others (1977 and 1982 Topps) and figured that was plenty to send. Now, as it turns out, I could have just sent this 1981 when I found it, because Alexander is "one per" and I didn't realize that. Oh well, of the cards that I had, this one was the one I really wanted back anyway.
Alexander (b. 1947) played in the majors from 1973 to 1981 for the Cubs, A's and Pirates. He had 36 hits, no home runs and a .214 batting average. He won the World Series in 1979 with the Pirates, but was caught stealing in the only game in which he played.
I mailed to Alexander on March 2 and got the card back on March 20, for an 18-day TAT. He kept the other two cards that I sent.
