TTM Success - Steve Searcy

Here is a cool TTM success that got me a 1989 Topps Future Star card signed.  If I wasn't working on the 1987 set, I probably would consider 1989.  Mainly because 1989 Topps were the first cards I ever got.  I am working on 1987, though, because I had so many of them to start with, and I believe my friend, Max, had pushed me toward it early on.  Still, adding other years of Topps to my binder is a lot of fun, and I intend to keep it up.
1990 Topps is always a fun set, too, with the crazy colorful borders.  I feel like 2015 Topps was a nod back to 1990, and even 1975.

Searcy (b. 1964) played in the majors from 1988 to 1992 for the Tigers and Phillies.  He had a career record of 6-13 with 140 strike outs and a 5.68 ERA.

I mailed to Searcy on January 16 and got the cards back on February 23, for a 38-day TAT.
