TTM Success - Charlie West

When Chris told me that Charlie West kind of looks like the wrestler, Jey Uso, I can't unsee it.  Anyway, I took two more of the vintage football cards that my good friend, Max, sent me and got them signed TTM.
I sent off the 1972 Topps Football card at the top of the page, and the above 1973 Topps.  West has a great signature, and I was glad to add two more vintage football cards to my autograph album.

West (b. 1946) played pro football from 1968 to 1979 for the Vikings, Lions and Broncos.  He played as a Safety and punt returned, running a punt return for a touchdown in 1968.  He won the NFL Championship with the Vikings in 1969; this was when the NFL champion would then face the AFL champion in the Super Bowl.  The Vikings would lose that Super Bowl to the Chiefs.

I mailed to West on January 21 and got the cards back on January 31, for a 10-day TAT.

TTM Success - Manny Fernandez

The Super Bowl just ended and what better time to post a TTM success from a former Super Bowl champion than now.  I got this 1973 Topps card of Manny Fernandez out of the box of vintage football and hockey from my friend, Max.  I was glad to get it signed, and Fernandez added the 17-0 inscription, which was really cool.

Fernandez (b. 1946) played pro football from 1968 to 1975 for the Dolphins.  He finished 9th in the 1970 MVP race and won the Super Bowl with the Dolphins in 1972 and 1973.  That Super Bowl win in 1973 capped off an undefeated season.

I mailed to Fernandez on January 15 and got the card back on January 27, for a 12-day TAT.

TTM Success - Ed Flanagan

Here are a couple older football cards that I got signed TTM recently by Ed Flanagan.  The cards came from my buddy, Max.
Flanagan signed a 1972 and a 1973 Topps Football. Both cards turned out great.

Flanagan (b. 1944) played professionally from 1965 to 1976 for the Lions and Chargers.  He was a 4-time pro bowler (1969 - 1971 and 1973).

I mailed to Flanagan on January 13 and got the cards back on January 24, for an 11-day TAT.
