Multiple TTM Successes for One Card

I decided to get the three living guys who are on this 1973 Topps Rangers Manager/Coaching Staff card when I first got Jackie Moore on it.  I also needed Chuck Estrada on a 1991 Crown Orioles card, so I paired this card with that, and finally, I paid the $5 to get Whitey Herzog.  I sent to Herzog, even though I had just sent to him a few months prior, so I could get him on his own 1991 Crown Orioles card.

Chuck Hiller passed away a while back, so getting him on this card is out of the question, but I think it is cool that I was able to get the other three guys.  I did this recently with a couple team cards for my 87 set, and those should be coming up to be posted, soon.

Another TTM Success - Chuck Estrada

I had sent to Chuck Estrada a while back, but he was on a card that I wanted to get done (which will be posted at a later date) and this 1991 Crown Orioles.  Again, I am not pursuing the set, but they are nice to have when I need to send a card off and would like to dip in a little more for another card.

The other card was a 1973 Rangers coaching staff card that I had gotten signed by Jackie Moore, then Estrada and finally Herzog.  I'll show it soon.

I mailed to Estrada on June 15 and got the cards back on July 6, for a 21-day TAT.

TTM Success - Chuck Estrada

This TTM success from Chuck Estrada was another player that I was able to get using cards I picked up at the recent Greenvile card show.  I was really happy to get one of these 1960 Topps rookie stars cards signed.  It turned out pretty nicely.

I also got these cards signed by Estrada, a 1961 Topps and a 1964 Topps.  Both of them are nice cards.  I love the Topps rookie logo on the 1961.

Estrada (b. 1938) played in the majors from 1960 to 1964 and 1966 to 1967 for the Orioles, Cubs and Mets.  He had a career record of 50-44 with 535 strike outs and an ERA of 4.07.  He led the league in wins (18) in 1960, his rookie season.  He was second in the AL Rookie of the Year Award voting to Ron Hansen.  All three players receiving votes that year were Orioles (Hansen, Estrada and Jim Gentile).  Estrada was an All Star that season and also finished 12th in the AL MVP voting.

I mailed to Estrada on November 3 and got the cards back on November 13, for a 10-day TAT.
