Another TTM Success From Chuck Essegian

Here is another pairing of a nice vintage card I found at the Chantilly show and a 1991 Crown Orioles card.  This TTM success from Chuck Essegian helped me add these two cards to my autograph album. The above 1963 Topps was signed in ballpoint pen, but is still a nice addition to the album. 

The pen showed up better on the 1991 Crown, though.  I've added a bunch of these to the album lately, with several more on the way.

Essegian's Oriole career consisted of one at bat in one game in 1961.  He didn't get a hit in that at bat.

I mailed to Essegian on November 13 and got the cards back on November 25, for a 12-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Chuck Essegian

I grabbed a handful of 50s cards from somewhere (it's really bad that I can't remember where I got them) and sent them off TTM.  A few of them came back around the same time, the first of which was this 1958 Topps Chuck Essegian.

The card looks really nice, and was signed with a thin black pen.

Essegian (b. 1931) played in the majors from 1958 to 1963 for the Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, Orioles, A's (KC) and Indians.  He had 260 hits, 47 home runs and a .255 batting average.  He was a member of the 1959 World Series Champion Dodgers.

His time with the Orioles consisted of one game, in 1961.  He would then be traded to the KC A's for Dick Hall and Dick Williams.

I mailed to Essegian on June 4 and got the card back signed on June 11, for a 7-day TAT.  I guess I raided my vintage box for this, but I definitely can't remember.
