This is another TTM success that was initiated because I wanted to add a former Oriole to my autograph album. Of course, Don Stanhouse played for a few other teams, and I got more of those cards signed than Orioles. Still, I got some good stuff signed and I am happy with how all of the cards turned out.
I had sent to Stanhouse back in 2016, but never got those cards back. I wonder if I used the wrong address or did the envelope just get lost. Such is life when you send out hundreds of TTM requests in a year.
Stanhouse (b. 1951) played in the majors from 1972 to 1980 and 1982 for the Rangers, Expos, Orioles and Dodgers. He had a record of 38-54 with 408 strike outs and a 3.84 ERA. He was an All Star in 1979.
I mailed to Stanhouse on September 29 and got the cards back on October 14, for a 15-day TAT. I had only send two cards (the 1973 Topps at the top and 1991 Crown Orioles card at the bottom). It was really cool of Stanhouse to include the extras.
