My TTM stack is building back up again, thanks in part to my raiding of my vintage box to add some older cards to my album. This also has caused me to raid my 1955 set, in order to add a couple more of those guys to my album. Camilo Pasqual was someone I was surprised that I hadn't sent to TTM in the past. I'm glad I did, this time around. He signed my 1955 Topps that I pulled from my set (and upgraded with a less off-centered version).
I also got these two; a 1962 Topps and a 1963 Topps 1962 AL Strikeout Leaders card. The 1963 was pre-marked before I even had the card, so it would have been something I would have upgraded anyway if I ever went to build that set.
I was surprised that Pasqual added the above 1955 Topps that he inscribed to the package. That was a really nice gesture, and I will gladly add it to the album.
Pasqual (b. 1934) played in the majors from 1954 to 1971 for the Senators, Twins, Reds, Dodgers and Indians. He had a record of 174-170 with 2,167 strike outs and a 3.63 ERA. He was a 7-time All Star (1959 to 1962 and 1964; with two selections in 1960 and 1962). He won 20 of more games twice (1962 - 20; 1963 - 21). His best finish in the MVP voting was 12th (1963; AL).He appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot in 1977 and 1978, but only received a high of 0.8% (1977).
I mailed to Pasqual on October 17 and got the cards back on October 25, for an 8-day TAT. I paid his fee of $10/card and got one card from him for free.
