Another TTM Success From Sid Fernandez

When I saw that Sid Fernandez was signing TTM, I scrambled to find some cards and sent them out.  I had gotten him on his 87 Topps via a private signing, so this time I took what I could find in a pinch.  The above 1994 Score Rookie and Traded card covers Fernandez's time as an Oriole, which was fine with me.

I found these two Topps cards (a 1993 and a 1994 Gold parallel) next, then gave up the search.

I was glad to get a few of his cards in the autograph album, since he seemed to be tougher in the past.

I mailed to Fernandez on November 23 and got the cards back on December 6 for a 13-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Sid Fernandez

Another of the recent private signings was for former pitcher, Sid Fernandez.  I had needed him for quite a while, and finally got his 87 Topps done.  I actually have an old Sports Illustrated that I need him on, too, but I had to wait to send that.

Fernandez (b. 1962) played in the majors from 1983 to 1997 for the Dodgers, Mets, Orioles, Phillies and Astros.  He had a career record of 114-96 with 1,743 strike outs and a 3.36 ERA.  He was a two-time All Star (1986 and 1987) and his best Cy Young Award finish was 7th (1986, NL).  He won the World Series with the Mets in 1986.  He appeared on the 2003 Hall of Fame ballot, but only received 0.4% of the vote.

I mailed to the signing on September 19 and got the card back on October 15, for a 26-day TAT.  I paid a $29.00 fee (which is why I didn't send the Sports Illustrated).
