TTM Success - Manny Fernandez

The Super Bowl just ended and what better time to post a TTM success from a former Super Bowl champion than now.  I got this 1973 Topps card of Manny Fernandez out of the box of vintage football and hockey from my friend, Max.  I was glad to get it signed, and Fernandez added the 17-0 inscription, which was really cool.

Fernandez (b. 1946) played pro football from 1968 to 1975 for the Dolphins.  He finished 9th in the 1970 MVP race and won the Super Bowl with the Dolphins in 1972 and 1973.  That Super Bowl win in 1973 capped off an undefeated season.

I mailed to Fernandez on January 15 and got the card back on January 27, for a 12-day TAT.
