Another TTM Success From Skip Lockwood

Back in 2017, I had originally sent TTM to Skip Lockwood.  I got a few cards signed, and figured that would probably be it.  I ended up with these two cards at some point, so I decided that after 5+ years, I should go ahead and send to him again.  I got a 1973 Topps and a 1974 Topps signed by Lockwood this time around, and they both came out looking pretty sharp.
I mailed to Lockwood on November 29 and got the cards back on December 10, for an 11-day TAT.

Additionally, that big wave of vintage TTMs has started to come in.  Today was a mass of 8 successes (two of which weren't vintage, but still) and I have a ton more pending.  Also, some signings have popped up, so I will be on the road a bit over the next couple of weeks.  I am getting ramped up for graphing season, which is right around the corner.

TTM Success - Skip Lockwood

Every 1972 Topps that comes in for a TTM success has been raided from my partial set that I continue to fail to start up.  I think using some of those cards for TTM purposes has been nice, though, like this success from Skip Lockwood.  One of these days, I will start that set, and will stop raiding it for cards.  We'll see if I can keep that promise to myself.
I did have a few other cards of Lockwood to send out, and they all look really cool; highlighted by this 1975 Topps.
Lockwood (b. 1946) played in the majors from 1969 to 1980 for the Pilots, Brewers, Angels, Mets and Red Sox.  He had a career record of 57-97 with an ERA of 3.55 and 829 strike outs.

I mailed to Lockwood on August 7 and got the cards back on September 11, for a 35-day TAT.
