With all of the TTMs that I send out to older players, it was bound to happen that while the cards sat in my stack, waiting to be scanned and blogged, a player would pass away. It just recently happened with Roger Moret. Sadly, he passed away before I could get the cards scanned, but I was lucky enough to get him TTM before he passed.
Moret signed a 1971 Topps Rookie Stars, a 1972 Topps and a 1978 Topps for me in black marker.
Moret (b. 1949 - d. 2020) played in the majors from 1970 to 1978 for the Red Sox, Braves and Rangers. He had a career record of 47-27 with 408 strike outs and a 3.66 ERA.
Moret passed away on December 7, at the age of 71 from cancer.
I mailed to Moret on August 12 and got the cards back on October 13, for a 62-day TAT. The last success anyone received from him was on November 17. He must have taken a turn around that time.
