TTM Success - Rafael Furcal

This 2000 Topps Gold Label Rafael Furcal was an insert card in a box of 2000 Topps that I picked up when I was building that set years ago. It floated around my boxes for a while, then I saw a private signing come up. I naturally picked this card to get signed and it turned out great.

Furcal (b. 1977) played in the majors from 2000 to 2012 and 2014 for the Braves, Dodgers, Cardinals and Marlins.  He had 1,817 hits, 113 home runs and a .281 batting average.  He was the 2000 NL Rookie of the Year and a 3-time All Star (2003, 2010 and 2012).  His best MVP finish was 14th in 2006. He won the World Series with the Cardinals in 2011.

I mailed to the signing on May 7 and got the card back on June 1, for a 25-day TAT. I paid a fee of $25.00.
