TTM Success - Scott Bailes

Here is another player among the long list of players that I pulled while trying to add to my 1987 Topps set.  I had quite a few of his cards, and they all look really nice.  Not often mentioned is a box of mid-80s Donruss and Fleer that I have.  I try to add some of them to my TTM requests from time to time, so my returns aren't always so loaded with Topps stuff.

The above 1987 Fleer is a nice card.  I like the blue background.  I've got a few other TTM requests outstanding that came from that box, so there should be a few others coming in here and there.
I did have some Topps cards in the request, though.  Obviously, I sent the '87.  I also added a 1990 and a 1992.  The borders of 1990 always are fun, and the photos in 1992 are nice.  1992 didn't have photography that matched 1991, but it was still a decent set.

Bailes (b. 1961) played in the majors from 1986 to 1992 and 1997 to 1998 for the Indians, Angels and Rangers.  He had a career record of 39-44 with 351 strike outs and a 4.95 ERA.

I mailed to Bailes on January 20 and got the cards back on February 1, for a 12-day TAT.
