While purchasing some older drag racing cards online a couple months ago, I checked to see if Ed "The Ace" McCulloch signed TTM. I saw that he did, so I bought two cards (below) off of Ebay (more on them shortly), and also went through a card album that my Mom had found at Goodwill. I came away with several cards to send out.
The above 1973 Fleer AHRA cards (above, top row) were the Ebay purchase. I never got to see the Revellution funny car race in person, but I remember it from a model car that my brother Kenny built when I was little. I always loved the design of that car. Overall, I was happy with the return, except the signature on the McDonald's dragster card smeared.
McCulloch (b. 1942) drag raced professionally from 1964 to 1993. He won 22 NHRA national events, including 5 US Nationals (1971, 1972, 1980, 1988 and 1990). He was elected to the Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2011 and the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 2000.
I mailed to McCulloch on November 4 and got the cards back on November 15, for an 11-day TAT.
