TTM Success - Lowell Palmer

A couple years ago, Pat Neshek recreated this look of Lowell Palmer for the 2019 Topps Heritage set.  I got that card signed TTM back then. Recently, I found the original at a show and decided to get it signed as well. Palmer has a great signature and the card looks awesome. 

Palmer (b. 1947) played in the majors from 1969 to 1972 and 1974 for the Phillies, Cardinals, Indians and Padres.  He had a record of 5-18 with 239 strike outs and a 5.29 ERA.

I mailed to Palmer on November 17 and got the card back on December 8, for a 21-day TAT.  I paid his fee of $10/card.

Another TTM Success From Pat Neshek

When 2019 Heritage came out, I had to get the Pat Neshek from the set signed.  The card is cool as it is, but when you read more into it, it is even better.  Topps wanted to throw some subtle winks into the set, like they always do, and this card pays homage to the original set in that it resembles the Lowell Palmer card from 1970.  Neshek, himself, is a huge fan of that set, and was apparently elated when Topps approached him about recreating the Palmer card.

The card turned out really when when signed, and I am happy to be adding it to my album.
I got these two cards back from Neshek, as I always send him autos for his collection.  These were really nice cards to get back from him.
I had originally thought I was done sending to Neshek, but since the Heritage came out, I tossed this 2018 Topps in as well.

I mailed to Neshek on March 5 and got the cards back on March 14, for a 9-day TAT.  I sent to him via Phillies Spring Training.
