TTM Success - Rick Manning

I am slowly chipping away at my TTM successes, still working on posting each player individually.  I have been pretty much posting them non-stop since early March.  Here we are in June, and I still have a stack of them staring back at me.  Here are some nice cards that I got back from Rick Manning recently.  They all turned out great.

Manning (b. 1954) played in the majors from 1975 to 1987 for the Indians and Brewers.  He had 1,349 hits, 56 home runs and a .257 batting average.  He was a Gold Glove award winner in 1976.

I mailed to Manning on April 30 and got the cards back on May 31, for a 31-day TAT.

Mail From Anders - It's Rick Manning Day

Yeah, a total of 0 people will get the movie reference in the title.  Anyway, I'm getting toward the bottom of my "to be blogged" pile.  I have had a stack of cards that came in a care package from my friend, Anders, that has been sitting here for months.

Anders is a really nice kid from Minnesota who had traded with me a bunch.  For one reason or another, he has moved on from cards, but still "likes" and comments on some of my Instagram posts.  I miss chatting with him, but I know how life sometimes gets in the way of our hobbies.  I'm hoping he comes back soon.

Anyway, in the package was a bunch of signed cards from Anders.  Along with the above Manning, there were signed cards of: Jaret Wright, Len Barker, Brian Tallet and Cody Buckel.  Anders also included unsigned cards of Mo Vaugh and Masahiro Tanaka.

I especially likes the Manning and the Barker because they were on 1981 Topps.  That set is always underrated, and I tend to forget about it from time to time.  I never actually built the set, I bought it from a store that was closing for a really cheap price.  I tell myself that I will actually build it at some point.  We'll have to see if I follow through.

So, thank you so much for the package, Anders.  I'm sorry I let it lag this far behind!
