Another TTM Success From Jim Lonborg

Jim Lonborg is a player who I have already gotten TTM twice (in 2018 and 2023), but it found these two cards in my boxes, so i sent to him a third time.

I like the above 1990 Swell Baseball Greats.  I have a few more cards from this set that i could possibly send off. We'll see. 

I got this 1982 TCMA Baseball's Greatest signed as well.  I'm not sure there are many more from this set that I can fet signed, but it do have a bunch.  Maybe it was a partial set that ended up at the old LCS; I think that's how they got into my boxes.

I mailed to Lonborg on October 9 and got the cards back on October 21 for a 12-day TAT. 

Another TTM Success From Jim Lonborg

These three Jim Lonborg cards were in one of my boxes for quote a while, so I figured I would take the opportunity to send to him again for some autographs.  The above 1968 Topps was the card that I really wanted to add to the autograph album, and it turned out very well.

I also sent another 1973 Topps that I had, even though I had gotten one signed before.  I'll probably send it out to a friend as a gift or surprise auto or something.  I also added a nice 1974 to the album.  I have a mass of 74s pending, so the representation of that set will increase in the coming months.

I mailed to Lonborg on December 1 and got the cards back on December 8, for a 7-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Jim Lonborg

I added some nice late 60s and early 70s cards to my autograph album with this success from Jim Lonborg.  I had a lot of cards to choose from, thanks to my LCS, and I'm glad I got them all returned.

All of the cards turned out great.  Since this TTM success came back, I actually purchased a huge lot of 1972 and 1973 Topps cards from Conrad.  I hope to be able to add a bunch more of them to my album.

Lonborg (b. 1942) played in the majors from 1965 to 1979 for the Red Sox, Brewers and Phillies.  He had a career record of 157-137 with 1,475 strike outs and a 3.86 ERA.  He was the 1967 AL Cy Young Award winner when he went 22-9 with 246 strike outs and a 3.16 ERA.  He was also an All Star that season and finished 6th in the AL MVP race.

He appeared on two Hall of Fame ballots, 1984 and 1985, but didn't receive more than 0.8% of the vote.

I mailed to Lonborg on March 17 and got the cards back on March 26, for a 9-day TAT.
