TTM Success - Robby Thompson

Robby Thompson is a fariyl tough autograph to get, these days, so when I saw him pop up on a private signing, I jumped on board and got my 1987 Topps signed.  I had tried to send to him in the past, but have had no luck.

Thompson (b. 1962) played in the majors from 1986 to 1996 for the Giants.  He had 1,187 hits, 119 home runs and a .257 batting average.  He finished second in the 1986 NL Rookie of the Year voting (second to Todd Worrell), was an All Star in 1988 and 1993 and won the Gold Glove Award in 1993.  His best best MVP finish was 15th in 1993.

I mailed to the signing on November 20 and got the card back signed on January 26, for a 67-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $15.00.
