Here is another pair of signed cards from a celebrity, to mix things up a bit. I was looking up older Academy Award winners and happened to see that Lee Grant signed TTM fairly regularly. I didn't have anything that would tie into any of her well known roles, so I sent this 2020 Allen and Ginter Steinway Tower card. I like these oddball Ginter sets, and this one of skyscrapers looks nice signed.
I also sent her a 1987 Topps checklist so I could add another celebrity to my checklist page in my album. That's the only reason I sent it; another name on the list.
Grant (b. 1925) won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1975 for her role in Shampoo. She was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for roles in Detective Story, The Landlord and Voyage of the Damned. I could have sworn that I read that she won for In the Heat of the Night, but i was way wrong. She did appear in that movie, and also Valley of the Dolls.
I mailed to Grant on August 31 and got the cards back on September 11, for an 11-day TAT.
