TTM Success - Aubrey Huff

I was really excited to get this TTM success back from former Oriole, Aubrey Huff.  Mainly because I knew he would be a tough sign, but also because I had a shot to get this 2005 UD Reflections back.  I sent two other cards, but Huff only signed one.  I was on the fence about wanting one of his Orioles cards back, but in the end, I am happy with this one.

Huff (b. 1976) played in the majors from 2000 to 2012 for the Devil Rays, Astros, Orioles, Tigers and Giants.  He had 1,699 hits, 242 home runs and a .278 batting average.  His best finish in the MVP voting was 7th in 2010 while he was with the Giants.  He was a Silver Slugger Award winner for the Orioles in 2008.  He won the World Series with the Giants in 2010 and 2012.

I mailed to Huff on February 13 and got the card back on July 22, for a 159-day TAT.
