TTM Success - Max Venable

My quest for signed 1987 Topps led me to send TTM to Max Venable, which landed me these three cards.  I made sure to send this 1983 Topps, since I hadn't sent one out in quite a while, and it turned out well.
I also included the 1986, along with his 1987, of course.  All of the cards turned out really well, which was nice.  I probably could have sent a few more, but kept it at three, so I wouldn't miss the 87, in case he only signed a couple.

Venable (b. 1957) played in the majors from 1979 to 1987 and 1989 to 1991 for the Giants, Expos, Reds and Angels.  He had 337 hits, 18 home runs and a .241 batting average.  He is the father of former Padre, Will Venable.

I mailed to Venable on August 22 and got the cards back on September 7, for a 16-day TAT.
