TTM Success - Steve Busby

TTMs have still been really slow to come in lately.  That can only mean that at some point, I'm going to have a huge mailday.

One of the ones that has trickled in lately was this success from Steve Busby.  I enjoyed this 1974 Topps that I was able to get signed by him.  It must be a photo from Spring Training, as evident from the aluminum bleachers in the background.
He also signed these three cards for me, from left to right, 1976, 1978 and 1980 Topps.

Busby (b. 1949) played in the majors from 1972 to 1976 and 1978 to 1980 for the Royals.  He had a career record of 70-54 with a 3.72 ERA and 659 strike outs.  He won 22 games for the Royals in 1974.  He was an All Star in 1974 and 1975 and finished 30th in the 1974 AL MVP race.

I mailed to Busby on January 2 and got the cards back on January 16, for a 14-day TAT.
