TTM Success - Branden Florence

A random 2003 Topps that I found in my box came back signed TTM by Branden Florence. Normally, here is where I say the card tur ed out nicely. However, Florence needs a new Sharpie, as it seems his is on the way out. Still, the card is signed, and I can't really complain. I'm still appreciative that he took the time to sign for me.

Florence (b. 1978) was an undrafted player who played in the minors from 2001 to 2007 and 2009 in the Giants, Orioles, Phillies and Angels systems. He reached AA. He had 684 hits, 57 home runs and a .310 batting average. While his batting average was pretty good, he was generally one of the older players in each league he played in, which could have skewed his numbers.

I mailed to Florence on February 6 and got the card back on February 18, for a 12-day TAT.
