Another TTM Success From Clay Dalrymple

Sometimes, I go through my boxes and just try to pick out random stuff to mail off to change things up a bit.  Every so often, I'll pull 4 or 5 1991 Crown Orioles cards out and mix them in with my TTMs.  I pulled some of the older guys from that set who I knew signed (or I had gotten before) and sent out another round.  Clay Dalrymple was among the latest that got sent out.  I had gotten Dalrymple before, back in 2017 on 4 cards.  At that time, I hadn't picked up the set of 1991 Crown Orioles.

I mailed to Dalrymple on December 1 and got the card back on December 14, for a 13-day TAT. I paid his fee of $5.00.

TTM Success - Clay Dalrymple

I was able to add another vintage Oriole to the binder with this success from Clay Dalrymple.  The 1971 Orioles card was actually a toss-in after a search through my Orioles box just before I sent off to him.  I was set on three cards to send, and since Dalrymple charges for his signature, I was going to hold at that amount.  Thankfully, I found this Orioles card and included it for an additional $5.

These two cards were in my vintage box.  I found them after I decided that I wanted to mail to Dalrymple.  The 1964 is a really nice card.  Not that the 66 isn't but there is something about a 1964 Topps that I really like.

The card that started me on trying to get Dalrymple was this 1961 Topps that I picked up back in January from the Columbia antique shop.  It is one of the last ones that was sent out and received, and turned out really nice.

Dalrymple (b. 1936) played in the majors from 1960 to 1971 for the Phillies and Orioles.  He had 710 hits, 55 home runs and a .233 batting average.  He appeared in 2 World Series games in the Orioles loss to the Mets in 1969, collecting 2 hits in  2 at bats, for a 1.000 batting average.

I mailed to Dalrymple on February 18 and got the cards back on March 6, for a 16-day TAT.  He charges $5/card.
