Another TTM Success From Ken Berry

Here is another couple of signed cards that came back TTM from Ken Berry.  The above 1975 Topps Mini turned out nicely.  He's got a really nice signature. 
I liked this 1974 Topps as well.  The colors on the card look really good.  These were both cards that I got out of Conrad's boxes and while back and finally made myself send them out.

I mailed to Berry on September 6 and got the cards back on September 16, for a 10-day TAT.

TTM Success - Ken Berry

Back in May, I bought a huge lot of 1972 and 1973 Topps from Conrad in Columbia.  The purpose was two-fold.  I wanted to get a jump on the 1972 Topps set, and I also wanted some bulk 70s cards that I could send TTM.  A bunch of them have come back, and a bunch more are sitting in my box ready to mail out.  The Ken Berry cards that I got back turned out really nice.
I also got a bunch of 1973 Topps, and was able to find Berry in that, as well.  It was also nice to see that I had him among my 1975 Topps that I have left over.

Berry (b. 1941) played in the majors from 1962 to 1975 for the White Sox, Angels, Brewers and Indians.  He had 1,053 hits, 58 home runs and a .255 batting average.  He was an All Star in 1967 and won the Gold Glove Award in 1970 and 1972.  He appeared on the 1981 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.

I mailed to Berry on May 24 and got the cards back on June 2, for a 9-day TAT.
