TTM Success - Johnny Edwards

I robbed from my vintage box again with the cards I sent TTM to Johnny Edwards.  I'm glad I did, as the above 1965 Topps turned out really nicely.  He has a really good signature, and it shows up well on this card.

This 1973 Topps also looks great.  This was one of the many that I got from Conrad from Columbia in my May purchase.  I bought a ton of 1972 and 1973 Topps off of him, and used a bunch for TTMs.

Edwards (b. 1938) played in the majors from 1961 to 1974 for the Reds, Cardinals and Astros.  He had 1,106 hits, 81 home runs and a .242 batting average.  He was a three-time All Star (1963 through 1965) and a two-time Gold Glove Award winner.  He finished 36th in the 1969 NL MVP voting.  He appeared on the 1980 Hall of Fame ballot, but did not receive any votes.

I mailed to Edwards on May 29 and got the cards back on June 5, for a 7-day TAT.  He also included the below signed photos, which was a really nice touch.
