TTM Success - Larry Nance

I was able to send TTM to a former basketball player that I actually knew personally years ago.  Larry Nance used to own a Pro Modified drag car that ran against my dad for years.  I got to know Larry at the race track, and he was always nice.  He has since stepped away from racing, but not before he, himself, raced for a few years.  When I saw he was signing TTM, I made sure to find a card that I could send.  I found this 1989 NBA Hoops All Star card, and sent it on its way.

Nance (b. 1959) played in the NBA from 1981 to 1994 for the Phoenix Suns and Cleveland Cavaliers.  He had 6,370 field goals (100th all-time) (6,362 of which were 2-pointers, and 8 three-pointers); his 6,362 2-point field goals are 81st all-time).  He also had 2,027 blocks (21st all-time) and 7,352 total rebounds (92nd all-time).  Nance played his college ball at Clemson.

I mailed to Nance on November 16 and got the card back signed on November 30, for a 14-day TAT.  I wrote him a full-page letter, and was hoping he would write back, but he didn't.  I'm sure he was busy, but it would have been cool if he had remembered me.
