TTM Success - Roberto Alomar

Pinnacle Aficionado may be one of my all-time favorite sets.  When I was looking for a Roberto Alomar card to send in to a private signing, it didn't take me long to decide what to send.  I've gotten other Aficionado cards signed, but this one was nice because it is an Oriole, and obviously a Hall of Famer.  I'm really happy to add this to my album.

Alomar (b. 1968) played in the majors from 1988 to 2004 for the Padres, Blue Jays, Orioles, Indians, Mets, White Sox and Diamondbacks.  He had 2,724 hits, 210 home runs and a .300 batting average.  He was a 12-time All Star (1990-2001) and a 9-time Gold Glove Award winner (1991-1996, 1998-2001).  His best MVP finish was 3rd (1999).  He won the World Series with the Blue Jays in 1992 and 1993.  He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2011, when he was named on 90.0% of the ballot.  He was elected during his second year of eligibility.

I mailed to the signing on September 13 and got the card back on October 5, for a 22-day TAT.  I paid a fee of $40.00.
