TTM Success - Bruce Hurst

There seems to have been quite a few private signings lately, which have helped me shave some much-needed cards off of my checklist for my signed 1987 Topps set.  Another one came up recently, Bruce Hurst, and I was able to cross him off and rest the card in my album.

Hurst (b. 1958) played in the majors from 1980 to 1994 for the Red Sox, Padres, Rockies and Rangers.  He had a record of 145-113 with 1,689 strike outs and a 3.92 ERA.  He was an All Star in 1987 and received votes for both the AL Cy Young Award and the AL MVP Award in 1988, finishing 5th and 14th, respectively.  He appeared on the 2000 Hall of Fame ballot, but received only 0.2% of the vote.

I mailed to the signing on February 23 and got the card back on May 25, for a 91-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $30.00.
