I recently went to my LCS and looked through their vintage box for a few guys to send TTM. I was able to add a couple nice cards with this success from Lee Stange. I don't have many 1966 Topps in the album, and I like this one showing the Indians uniform of those times. I typed Reds, then looked at the team name on the card. That C on the hat tricked me.
I also added this 1970 Topps. This might be one of the worst Topps designs, with the drab gray border and all, but I like the set. It was a nice set to build and has many Seattle Pilots in it, which has been a fun subject to send out for TTM. That doesn't have much to do with Stange, but still, a moment of merit for a much maligned set.
Stange (b. 1936) played in the majors from 1961 to 1970 for the Twins, Indians, Red Sox and White Sox. He had a career record of 62-61 with a 3.56 ERA and 718 strike outs. He once won 20 games in the minors while playing for the nearby Wilson Tobs.
I mailed to Stange on October 16 and got the cards back on October 23, for a 7-day TAT.
