TTM Success - Jim Gosger

Some well-loved vintage cards were added to the autograph album when I got these three cards back signed from Jim Gosger. I had them in my box for a long time, but kept holding off on sending since Gosger charged a fee.
He signed a 1966 Topps (top), 1971 Topps (above, left) and a 1967 Topps (above, right). The 1967 was a card from my set that I upgraded, since someone crossed out Athletics and wrote in Seattle.

Gosger (b. 1942) played in the majors in 1963, from 1965 to 1971, and 1973 and 1974 for the Red Sox, A's (Kansas City and Oakland), Pilots, Mets and Expos. He had 411 hits, 30 home runs and a .226 batting average. He appeared on the 1980 Hall of Fame ballot, but received no votes.

I mailed to Gosger on December 5 and got the cards back on December 17, for a 12-day TAT. I paid a fee of $5/card.
