TTM Success - Jason Varitek

This TTM success came as a surprise, but I was really happy to get it.  The above 2020 Topps Stadium Club that I got back signed by Jason Varitek really turned out great.  Stadium Club has some awesome shots, and this one is one of my favorites.
I also got the 2008 Topps Postseason Highlights card showing the Red Sox winning the 2007 World Series signed.  I should have sent the SP with Rudy Giuliani in, but I wasn't able to locate the one I have.  I have since found it (because I wasn't looking for it).

Varitek (b. 1972) played in the majors from 1997 to 2011 for the Red Sox.  He had 1,307 hits, 193 home runs and a .256 batting average.  He was a three-time All Star (2003, 2005 and 2008).  He won the Gold Glove Award in 2005, along with a Silver Slugger Award.  His best MVP finish was 21st in 2005.  He won the World Series with the Red Sox in 2004 and 2007.  He is also the only catcher to catch 4 no hitters.  He appeared on the 2017 Hall of Fame ballot, but received only 0.5% of the vote.

I mailed to Varitek via the Red Sox on March 30, 2021, and got the cards back on January 24, 2022, for a 300-day TAT.
