My friend, Jackson, recently went on a graphing trip to Puerto Rico recently, and came back with several signed Benny Ayala cards for me. I cleaned out my boxes of Ayala stuff and took these 6 cards back. The above 1981 Topps turned out great.
I got a couple old Fleer cards (1981top left; 1983 top right), an older Donruss (1984, bottom left) and a 1985 Topps buyback (bottom right). I was really glad to get the buyback signed, since I had it in my box for a while since I pulled it out of the pack.
I also got this 1991 Crown Orioles card signed, and it turned out well, also.
Ayala (b. 1951) played in the majors in 1974, 1976 to 1977 and 1979 to 1985 for the Mets, Cardinals, Orioles and Indians. He had 217 hits, 38 home runs and a .251 batting average.
Jackson really hooked me up with these. I'm hoping I can send him back to Puerto Rico with some cards of other guys the next time he goes back.
