Another TTM Success From Jon Matlack

Another TTM success from Jon Matlack came in after I pulled a few of his cards that I hadn't already gotten signed. The above 1975 Topps Mini was from Conrad's stuff, and turned out great.

The above 1983 and 1984 Topps cards also turned out nicely.  These two sets get overlooked a lot of the time lately because I prefer other years over these.  They're still nice.  I've started pulling more 83s and 84s, so they'll start to fill the autograph album more.

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

TTM Success - Jon Matlack

I was really excited to get this TTM success back from Jon Matlack solely based on the above 1974 Topps.  This card is a beauty, and I really love how it turned out.

This 1973 Topps that I picked up from Conrad of the former Columbia antique shop really turned out nice, as well.  I met up with Conrad earlier this month when I was in Columbia for the Crawfish Festival and picked up an assortment of cards.  I got a bunch, and am happy with what I have gotten back so far.

I also added a few other Topps cards from 1976, 1980, 1981 and 1982.  I believe I have a couple cards signed by Matlack from the National a few years back, but I'll have to check my album.  At some point, I need to make a spreadsheet of all of the signatures I have on cards, but that is a plan that is a long way off.

Matlack (b. 1950) played in the majors from 1971 to 1983 for the Mets and Rangers.  He had a career record of 125-126 with 1,516 strike outs and an ERA of 3.18.  He was the NL Rookie of the Year in 1972.  He was also a three-time All Star between 1974 and 1976.  He appeared in the 1973 World Series while with the Mets and pitched to a record of 1-2 with a 2.16 ERA in the Mets' loss to the A's.

I mailed to Matlack on May 10 and got the cards back on May 17, for a 7-day TAT.
