This TTM success from former Astro, Johnny Edwards, was really nice, especially since he took the time to add some extra photos to the success. I would have been perfectly happy with the above 1974 Topps being the only thing coming back in my envelope, but the three photos he sent were really nice.
I like the above Cardinals photo, since it shows him in his catcher's gear. I always enjoy seeing older gear on cards (especially football).
He also included these photos; one of him with the Reds and another as an Astro.
Edwards (b. 1938) played in the majors from 1961 to 1974 for the Reds, Cardinals and Astros. He had 1,106 hits, 81 home runs and a .242 batting average. He was a 3-time All Star (1963, 1964 and 1965) and a 2-time Gold Glove Award winner (1963 and 1964). His best MVP finish was 26th (NL) in 1969.
I mailed to Edwards on February 2 and got the cards back on February 12, for a 10-day TAT.
