I added some more cards to my 1987 set with this success from Dave Righetti. I sent three cards and he signed two, leaving his base card yet to be signed. I actually sent to him twice (once last season - it hasn't come back; and once this season).
Righetti (b. 1958) played in the majors in 1979 and then from 1981 to 1995 for the Yankees, Giants, A's. Blue Jays and White Sox. He had a record of 82-79 with 252 saves, 1,112 strike outs and an ERA of 3.46. He was the AL Rookie of the Year in 1981 and an All Star in 1986 and 1987. His best finishes for the Cy Young and MVP Awards were both in 1986 when he led the league in saves (46) and pitched to a 2.45 ERA. He appeared on the 2001 Hall of Fame ballot and received 0.4% of the vote.
I mailed to Righetti on March 13 via Giants Spring Training and got the cards back on May 17, for a 65-day TAT.
