TTM Success - Kevin Gibbs

This card did not age well.  This is one of the late 90s Bowmans (1998 Bowman Chrome) that I got from my LCS.  The UV coating on it didn't age well, at all, and of course got worse when I prepped the card.  I've sent some of these off recently without any kind of prep; let's see if they come back looking better than this poor thing did.

Kevin Gibbs (b. 1974) was a 6th round pick by the Dodgers in the 1995 June Amateur Draft out of ODU.  He spent 9 seasons (1995 to 2000 and 2002 to 2004) in the minors and independent ball.  In the minors, he played in the Dodgers, Rockies, Yankees and Phillies systems, amassing 410 hits, 8 home runs and a .297 batting average.

I mailed to Gibbs on October 12 and got the card back on October 26, for a 14-day TAT.
