Another TTM Success From Eddie Fisher

Back in 2017, I got Eddie Fisher to sign a 1967 and a 1969 Topps TTM for me.  I found a few more of his cards, including the 1991 Crown Orioles card, so I decided to send to him again.  He has a great signature, and all of the cards turned out great.
I was really glad to get the above 1964 Topps and 1973 Topps signed.  Both are in great shape.

I mailed to Fisher on January 23 and got the cards back on February 2, for a 10-day TAT.

TTM Success - Eddie Fisher

I got this TTM success from former Oriole Eddie Fisher complete with a card from the player, himself.  I must have said something in my letter to him that I was a huge Orioles fan, and he included this 1967 Topps of him as an Oriole.

This was really cool, because I have very few extra 1967 Topps as it is, and to add one of an Oriole, well, that was nice.
This 1969 Topps was the one I actually sent out, and it also came back signed.  I don't have many extras from this set, either, since I am currently working on completing the set.  The set has stalled out, but will get completed sometime soon.

Fisher (b. 1936) played in the majors from 1959 to 1973 for the Giants, White Sox, Orioles, Indians, Angels, and Cardinals.  He had a career record of 85-70 with an ERA of 3.41 and 812 strike outs.  He was an All Star in 1965, and also finished 4th in the AL MVP voting that season.  He appeared on the 1979 Hall of Fame ballot, but did not receive any votes.

I mailed to August 7 and got the cards back on August 16, for a 9-day TAT.
