I had these Nick Leyva cards in my box for a long time, and finally got around to mailing to him. I feel like this is a pretty common theme among my TTM requests. I let cards sit in the boxes, with the hope that I find a few more along the way, and finally get around to dropping them in the mail. If they're just plain old Topps base cards, they'll probably sit and wait a while. If they're stars or really cool parallels, maybe I'll drop them in the mail sooner.
Nothing against Leyva, but his cards did sit there for a long time. Years, probably. I finally added them to a pile that I was sending out, and the cards came back looking great.
Leyva (b. 1953) managed the Phillies from 1989 into the 1991 season. His overall record was 148-189 (.439 win %).
I mailed to Leyva on January 30 and got the cards back on February 8, for a 9-day TAT.
