TTM Success - Cookie Rojas

It took me two tries, but I got a few cards signed TTM from Cookie Rojas.  I had the cards for quite a while, and was happy to finally be able to add them to the album.
I was able to get signed a 1971, 1972, 1976 and 1988 Topps Traded.  The Topps Traded was a last-minute addition to the envelope, but it made it back signed.

Rojas (b. 1939) played in the majors from 1962 to 1977 for the Reds, Phillies, Cardinals and Royals.  He had 1,660 hits, 54 home runs and a .263 batting average.  He was a 5-time All Star.  His best MVP finish was 14th (1971 - AL).

Rojas managed the Angels in 1988 to a record of 75-79 and also managed the Marlins for one game in 1996 (they won that game).

I mailed to Rojas on May 25 and got the cards back on June 29, for a 35-day TAT.
