I got this card among several boxes from the Goodwill near my parents' house a while back. Every now and then, they have baseball cards, and Mom made sure to let me know when I was in town one time that these were there. The boxes were a bunch of Topps Traded sets (busted, with key cards removed) and some other alternative sets like Donruss Highlights, The Rookies, etc. So, since the sets had been busted, I broke some of them up even further and sent out a few TTMs.
Stump Merrill (b. 1944) managed the Yankees from about two-thirds of the way through the 1990 season to 1991. His managerial record was 120-155 (.436 %). This was a forgettable time in Yankees history, which is fine by me. Notably, Merrill's successor was the great Buck Showalter.
I mailed to Merrill on October 28 and got the card back signed on November 30, for a 33-day TAT.
