TTM Success - Marc Hill

Another break from the 1987 set is shown in this TTM success from Marc Hill.  I got some late 70s-early 80s cards signed with this one.  I liked the 1978 Topps above, mainly because of the empty stadium behind Hill.  I looked at another 1978 Giant's card today and saw that his photo was taken in the same stadium.  Topps Photo Day, I guess.
I added two 1981 Topps to the collection with this success, a base and a Traded.  Not bad.  I really like the '81 design, so I was happy to send those along for signature.  The 1979 and 1980 Topps at the top of the scan both turned out really nice, as well.

Hill (b. 1952) played in the majors from 1973 to 1986 for the Cardinals, Giants, Mariners and White Sox.  He had 404 hits, 34 home runs and a .223 batting average.  I mailed to Hill on January 22 and got the cards back on February 3, for a 12-day TAT.
