2022 National Free Signer - Milt Thompson

While I hadn't gotten him TTM before, I did have Milt Thompson posted on my blog before. My friend, Stefan, had gotten an 87 Topps signed for me back in 2020. So, when I saw Thompson on the schedule of free signers for this year's National, I didn't have to get the 87 signed. 

Instead, I got the one card of his I found in my collection (the 1990 Topps) and then I found the other three in a dime box at the show.

All of the cards turned out great.  I was really glad to add the 1990 Donruss to the album.  Those are some nice cards, even though a lot of folks don't like that set.

87 Topps Set Pickup - Milt Thompson

It had been a while since I had heard from my buddy, Stefan.  He messaged me recently saying that he had picked up some more signed 87 Topps, and saw that I needed Milt Thompson.  So, for $3, he hooked me up.  I had sent TTM to Thompson, but it hasn't come back.  I figured 3 bucks would be fine for knocking the card off of my list.

Thompson (b. 1959) played in the majors from 1984 to 1996 for the Braves, Phillies, Cardinals, Astros, Dodgers and Rockies.  He had 1,029 hits, 47 home runs and a .274 batting average.  He finished 17th in the NL MVP voting twice (1987 and 1989).

Thank you for the quick and easy deal, Stefan!
