Another TTM Success From Dick Green

Dick Green has some really nice cards.  I sent to him TTM a coupke years ago and got a 1971 Topps signed. I found these two (a 1974, above, and the 1973 Topps, below) which have some nice action shots.

I also liked Green's 70s A's jerseys on the cards, which made the addition of these to my album even better. 

I mailed to Green on January 23 and got the cards back on February 21, for a 29-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Dick Green

I liked this card so much, I used it as my example for 1971 Topps on my Topps Autograph Project.  Don't forget to check out the tab that I put up for the project, which I didn't realize wasn't up initially.  The green and yellow on this card really pops.  Even the guy's name is green.  The card itself is in pretty rough shape, due to the black border on the 1971 Topps.  The autograph looks really nice, and it just turned out to be a really cool card.

Green (b. 1941) played in the majors from 1963 to 1974 for the Kansas City and Oakland A's.  He had 960 hits, 80 home runs and a .240 batting average.  Green finished 35th in the 1969 AL MVP voting, his only time receiving votes.

Green spent his entire career with the A's and was rewarded with three championships in 1972, 73 and 74.

I mailed to Green on November 12 and got the card back on December 8, for a 26-day TAT.
