TTM Success - Mario Andretti

Here is a nice non-baseball TTM success that I received recently.  Allen & Ginter cards always look nice when signed, and this one that came back from Formula 1 legend, Mario Andretti, was no exception.  His autograph isn't much to speak of, but the card still looks cool.

Andretti (b. 1940) raced in Formula 1 from 1968 to 1972 and 1974 to 1982 (131 races/128 starts).  He won 12 of those races.  He has competed in almost every form of motorsports in the US (not drag racing, though).  He was a 1986 inductee in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame and in 2000, he was named Racer of the Century by the Associated Press and RACER Magazine.

I mailed to Andretti on December 15 and got the card back on August 14, for a 242-day TAT.
