This 1987 Topps Yankees Leaders card was a tough one to complete. I mailed out three of them at different times to Don Mattingly, and never got one back. I finally paid for a private signing with him and got the card signed, hoping I would, then, be able to get Rickey at the National. Rickey wasn't at the National this year, so I had to settle for a private signing, but that's alright. I have met Rickey twice, once getting him on a ball, and the second time, I got him on the base 87 card. Now, I can focus on others at the National, if guys I need show up.
I mailed to the signing on November 4 and got the card back yesterday (12/27) for a 53-day TAT. I paid a fee of $85 for Rickey, and a lot more for Mattingly.
