This was a TTM success that got me pretty excited when it came in. I had a few cool cards of former Rangers manager, Ron Washington, and they all came back looking great. This 1990 CMC AAA was one of the minor league cards that came out of a show box from Mom's attic. I'm glad to be able to use some of those obscure minor league cards, and this one of Washington looked really cool.
I had to add a 1987 Topps to the album, and I don't have many 1989 Upper Deck for whatever reason. Both of them turned out really nice, as well.
Washington (b. 1952) played in the majors in 1977, then from 1981 to 1989 for the Dodgers, Twins, Orioles, Indians and Astros. He had 414 hits, 20 home runs and a .261 batting average.
Washington managed the Rangers from 2007 to 2014 to a record of 664-611 (.521%). His Rangers won the AL Pennant in 2010 and 2011; losing in 2010 in 5 games, and losing in 2011 in 7 games.
I mailed to Washington on June 12 and got the cards back on August 12, for a 61-day TAT. I sent via the Braves at SunTrust Park.
