I held onto his cards for a while, until I was ready to spend some money on a non-1987 signing. Then, I sent off 4 cards to Roy White. I had some nice stuff, like the above 2001 Upper Deck Legends of New York. The NY logo is actually fuzzy, like made of felt. I have several of these cards, and was glad to get one into my album.
I also had White's 1973 Topps, 2001 Topps Archives and a 2009 Upper Deck Goudey. All of the cards came out great. I had a decent stack of White's cards put aside, since he was supposed to be at a National a couple years ago. He ended up not being there, so the cards sat and waited.
White (b. 1943) played in the majors from 1965 to 1979 for the Yankees. He had 1,803 hits, 160 home runs and a .271 batting average. His best MVP finish was 12th, in 1968. He was an All Star in 1969 and 1970 and won the World Series with the Yankees in 1977 and 1978. He appeared on the 1985 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.
I mailed to White on November 23 and got the cards back on January 2, for a 40-day TAT. I paid his fee of $5/card.
