TTM Success - Kevin Ritz

Here is a small break from the onslaught of 1987 Topps TTMs that I have gotten.  This success from Kevin Ritz featured some nice 90s cards, especially the above 1997 Fleer Metal.  The card turned out great.  I didn't prep it at all, and the Sharpie didn't smear or bubble any.  It really turned out great.
The card on the top left was one of the 1990 CMC AAA cards that came out of Mom's attic box, and the card on the bottom right is a rare appearance of a 1997 Topps in my album.  I'm glad I was able to add that one.  I am debating as to whether or not I want to pick up a box of 1996 or 1997 Topps to add to my hoard of Topps products, but with my 1987 project, I am not pressing too hard with that.  It is something I might do, if I come into some money sometime soon.

Ritz (b. 1965) played in the majors from 1989 to 1992 and 1994 to 1998 for the Tigers and Rockies.  He had a career record of 45-56 with 462 strike outs and a 5.35 ERA.

I mailed to Ritz on August 7 and got the cards back on February 2, for a 179-day TAT.
