Another TTM Success From John Olerud

I had gotten John Olerud TTM before, a few years ago, but I came across a couple really nice cards and wanted to send to him again.  The above 2003 Topps Finest really looks awesome.  I think I found it in a box at the card shop, but I really can't remember.  It is a really cool card, and looks great now that it is signed.

I pulled this 2015 Bowman Chrome throwback out of a pack a while ago and it kept turning up when I went through my boxes.  So, I sent it along, as well, and it looks awesome.

I mailed to Olerud on August 12 and got the cards back on October 5, for a 54-day TAT.

TTM Success - John Olerud

While I have been getting lots of cards signed TTM, I have been trying really hard to get a decent assortment of different types of cards and products represented in my albums.  When I got my TTM success back from John Olerud, I was able to add my first Topps Tek card to the mix.

This card is from 2001 and turned out really nice when it came back.  I had sent off another Topps Tek card before this one, but that card hasn't come back yet.

I also got Olerud on this 2005 Topps Update.  The blue Sharpie shows up really nice on the card, I think.

Olerud (b. 1968) played in the majors from 1989 to 2005 for the Blue Jays, Mets, Mariners, Yankees and Red Sox.  He had 2,239 hits, 255 home runs and a .295 batting average.  He was a 2-time All Star and 3-time Gold Glove Award winner.  He was the 1993 AL batting champ with a .363 batting average.  That career year got Operud his highest finish in the MVP voting, third.  He won the World Series with the Blue Jays in 1992 and 1993.  He appeared on the 2011 Hall of Fame ballot, but only received 0.7% of the vote.

I mailed to Olerud on October 25 and got the cards back on January 18, for an 85-day TAT.
