TTM Success - Jerry Grote

Jerry Grote has a nice autograph.  The above 1964 Topps that I got back signed TTM exhibits Grote's autograph nicely.  This was a nice card that I pulled from the boxes that Conrad loaned me, and I am glad that I got it signed. 

I also sent this 1976 Topps that had been in my to-be-TTMed box for a long time. It's just a cool card, and turned out great.

Grote (b. 1942) played in the majors from 1963 to 1964, 1966 to 1978 and 1981 for the Colt .45s, Mets, Dodgers and Royals.  He had 1,092 hits, 39 home runs and a .252 batting average.  He was an All Star in 1968 and 1974.  He won the World Series with the Mets in 1969.  He appeared on the 1987 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.

I mailed to Grote on March 16 and got the cards back on April 5, for a 20-day TAT. I paid his fee of $10/card.
