TTM Success - Mike Smithson

Another name off of the list from the 1987 Topps set occurred recently with this success from Mike Smithson.  I had a few of his cards that I could send.  This 1986 Topps Team Leaders mini was one I was really happy to see come back.
I also got these Topps cards signed, a 1984, 1985 and obviously a 1987.  I've added a bunch of 87s to the set recently, and hope some of the coach and manager cards I sent to Spring Training start coming in, so I can add a few more.

Smithson (b. 1955) played in the majors from 1982 to 1989 for the Rangers, Twins and Red Sox.  He had a career record of 76-86 with 731 strike outs and a 4.58 ERA.

He did not appear in the post season in 1987 when the Twins won the World Series.

I mailed to Smithson on January 22 and got the cards back on February 1, for a 10-day TAT.
