2025 National Free Signer - Rich Nye

Back in 2020, I got Rich Nye TTM.  I was out of his cards, but saw that he was added to the autograph lineup early enough in place if Jim Osborn to order cards for the trip.  I hadn't gotten Nye on a 1969 Topps yet, so that was the card that I ordered for myself.  I also ordered a 1970 Topps for Jesse.

Nye was very nice.  I read about him while I was waiting in line.  He is an avian specialist with a concentration in exotic birds.  Prior to that, but following his baseball career, he was a civil engineer and was involved in the construction of the Willis Tower.

TTM Success - Rich Nye

I got a couple more vintage cards signed TTM recently when I got these two back from Rich Nye.  I had picked up this 1968 Topps and the below 1970 Topps at a card shop a few months ago.

The cards look great, and I was glad to add a few more vintage cards to my album.

Nye (b. 1944) played in the majors from 1966 to 1970 for the Cubs, Cardinals and Expos.  He had a record of 26-31 with 267 strike outs and a 3.71 ERA.

I mailed to Nye on August 13 and got the cards back on August 24, for an 11-day TAT.
