TTM Success - John Gelnar

A couple more vintage cards here; these fromma TTM success from John Gelnar.  I picked up the above 1970 Topps from the Virginia Beach show.  The card is pretty beat up, and I think Gelnar felt a little sorry for me because of it. 

I say that because he added this 1965 Topps rookie card, which looks really nice. It is unfortunate that Jerry May is no longer alive. Or I would look to complete the card. 

Gelnar (b. 1943) played in the majors in 1964, 1967 and from 1969 to 1971.  He had a record of 7-14 with 117 strike outs and a 3.78 ERA. 

I mailed to Gelnar on November 18 and got the cards back on December 2, for a 14-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Felix Mantilla

Here are some more nice vintage cards that were added to the autograph album. I picked up three of these Felix Mantilla cards at the Virginia Beach show, and the last one (the 1964 Topps) was picked up from Conrad's boxes. 

All of the cards turned out great.  I especially like the 1959 Topps.  All of of them were in great shape and didn't cost much. 

I mailed to Mantilla on November 17 and got the cards back on December 2, for a 15-day TAT.  I paid his fee of $5/card.

Another TTM Success From Danny Murphy

This 1961 Topps of Danny Murphy was picked up at the Virginia Beach card show a couple weeks ago.  I sent it off TTM and it came back signed.  Murphy also signed the back of my note.

I mailed to Murphy on November 16 and got the card back on December 1, for a 15-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Jackie Brandt

When I went to the Virginia Beach card show, I picked up some set needs for the 4 sets I'm currently working on. I upgraded the Jackie Brandt that was in my 1967 Topps set and sent this one out to him TTM afterward.

The card turned out great.  Brandt has a nice signature, and it showed up well on this card.  I mailed to Brandt on November 16 and got the card back on December 1, for a 15-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Ted Bowsfield

Here's another 1961 Topps that I picked up from the Virginia Beach card show.  It was recently signed TTM by Ted Bowsfield.  The signature is a tad shaky, but looks great.

Bowsfield (b. 1935) played in the majors from 1958 to 1964 for the Red Sox, Angels, Indians and A's (Kansas City).  He had a record of 37-39 with 326 strike outs and a 4.35 ERA.

I mailed to Bowsfield on November 20 and got the card back on December 1, for a 12-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Larry Burright

The above 1963 Topps that I got back signed TTM from Larry Burright is a bit off center. Still, it is a very good looking card.  It was yes another pickup from a recent show.

Burright (b. 1937) played in the majors from 1962 to 1964 for the Dodgers and Mets.  He had 73 hits, 4 home runs and a .205 batting average. 

I mailed to Burright on November 21 and got the card back on December 1, for a 10-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Bobby Pfeil

Another vintage card that I picked up from one of the recent card shows came back signed TTM.  This 1970 Topps of Bobby Pfeil turned out nicely. I had picked up a handful of 1970 Topps at the two most recent shows that I went to in hopes of adding a few more of them to the autograph album. 

Pfeil (b. 1942) played in the majors in 1969 and 1971 for the Mets and Phillies.  He had 68 hits, 2 home runs and a .242 batting average.

I mailed to Pfeil on November 17 and got the card back on November 30, for a 13-day TAT.
