It's always good to get a former Oriole TTM, and even better if it is one who signs a lot of cards in one return. I got a bunch of cards back from Scott McGregor, and am happy with the return. I was able to get this 1981 Fleer that my good friend, Max, gave me a while back. The card got a little beat up, but it still looks fine.
I also got the 1991 Crown Orioles card signed. Again, I'm not going for the set, but... I may be going for anything I can get out of my box. Take that for that it's worth.
Finally, I got McGregor on (top left to right) a 1977 and 1978 Topps, and also (bottom left to right) 1980 and 1984 Topps.
McGregor (b. 1954) played in the majors from 1976 to 1988 for the Orioles. He had a career record of 138-108 with 904 strike outs and a 3.99 ERA. He was an All Star in 1981 and his best Cy Young finish was 6th (1980 and 1983). He won 20 games in 1980 and won the World Series with the Orioles in 1983. He appeared on the 1994 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.
I mailed to McGregor on June 4 and got the cards back on June 13, for a 9-day TAT.
