Another TTM Success From Bob Reynolds

Here are some cards that came back recently TTM from former Oriole, Bob Reynolds. I had sent to him back in 2017, but had two cards pop up that I wanted to get signed.  I figured it would be a good time to send off the 1991 Crown Orioles card, since I was already going to send the below 1973 Topps Rookie card.
My awesome friend, Max, got Brent Strom on this card for me, so I thought I'd go ahead and add Reynolds.  I took a look and saw that Steve Lawson hasn't signed in a long time, so I'll probably file this card in my album and just wait and see.
Reynolds also included this Orioles post card, which was nice of him.

I mailed to Reynolds on October 22 and got the cards back on November 1, for a 10-day TAT.

TTM Success - Bob Reynolds

I use my TTM writing as an opportunity to go through my various boxes at pretty regular intervals.  Every time through, though, I find stuff that either I forgot that I had, or didn't realize that I had.  A trip through my Orioles boxes revealed a stack of 1975 Topps Orioles that I guess I had forgotten about.  I checked a few of them on sportscollectors.net to see if they signed, and found a few.

I only had one card in all of my Topps boxes of Bob Reynolds, so I went ahead and sent it off instead of waiting to see if another would pop up.  Still, the card turned out great, and I would have been satisfied with just that one coming back, but I got a nice surprise from Reynolds, himself.
He also included these two signed post cards.  They both look great, and will look nice in my post card album.  Yes, I have a separate post card album.  Still, they'll be cool in there.

Reynolds (b. 1947) played in the majors in 1969 and from 1971 to 1975 for the Expos, Cardinals, Brewers, Orioles, Tigers and Indians.  He had a career record of 14-16 with an ERA of 3.15 and 167 strike outs.

I mailed to Reynolds on March 4, and got the cards back on March 11, for a 7-day TAT.
