TTM Success - Buzz Capra

A few more 70s cards were added to the album with this TTM success from Buzz Capra.  Again, here is a 1975 Topps Mini (above), followed by a 1975 Topps (below left) and a 1976 Topps (below right).
Capra (b. 1947) played in the majors from 1971 to 1977 for the Mets and Braves.  He had a record of 31-37 with 362 strike outs and a 3.87 ERA.  He was an All Star in 1974, a season where he also finished 9th in the NL Cy Young Race, 20th in the NL MVP race and also led the league with a 2.28 ERA.

I mailed to Capra on January 30 and got the cards back on February 6, for a 7-day TAT.
