TTM Success - Tom Tischinski

Here is another 1970 Topps that came back signed TTM. It was among the stack of cards that Ryan gave me. Tom Tischinski signed the card in black ballpoint pen.

Tischinski (b. 1944) played in the majors from 1969 to 1971 for the Twins.  He had 21 hits, 1 home run and a .181 batting average. 

I mailed to Tischinski on January 2 and got the card back on January 25, for a 23-day TAT. 

Vintage Cards From Last Week's Card Show

I was able to knock a few cards off of some set needs at last week's show really cheaply.  I got the three below 1959 Topps cards for a dollar a piece and the 1971 Topps card for $5 since it is a high number.

The green Willard Nixon looks really cool, as always.  I also like the old Red Sox logo, the sock batting.  Really cool old logo, I think.

Here are a couple Kansas City Athletics cards, with the old elephant logo.  I sometimes forget that the A's logo was an elephant...

Finally, here is a pretty sharp 1971 Topps high number.  It is going to take me forever to finish the 1971 set, but slowly, I am chipping away at it.

I didn't buy much at the show, but I did come away with a few things, the most notable was my Catfish Hunter ball and my 1940 Play Ball Eric McNair.  I probably could have bought a lot more, but I did a good job of holding back and actually bringing a little money home.  I need to save up for Series 2 when it comes out in a couple weeks and I also have been eyeing a ball on Ebay for some time now.
