TTM Success - Jimmy Britton

Completing a multi-player card is a lot of hard work, but it can also be rewarding. I completed this 1972 Topps Braves Rookie Stars card recently when it came back TTM from Jimmy Britton. The best part is that all of the guys signed it in blue.

Britton (b. 1948) didn't actually crack the majors. He played in the minors from 1968 to 1973 in the Braves system, reaching AAA. He had a career record of 22-16 with 267 strike outs and a 3.75 ERA.

I mailed to Britton on Match 2 and got the card back on May 18, for a 77-day TAT.

TTM Success - Rick Kester

Here are two cards that came back signed TTM recently that I should be able to complete. Actually, both have been mailed back out for completion, so i really hope they come back. I sent to Ricl Kester with the thought that I had a good shot as getting them done, and am almost there.  He has a nice signature, and signed quickly.

Kester (b. 1946) played in the majors from 1968 to 1970 for the Braves. He had a record of 0-0 with 31 strike outs and a 5.98 ERA.

I mailed to Kester on December 4 and got the cards back on December 15, for an 11-day TAT. 

TTM Success - Tom House

I moved some 70s cards out of my boxes when I got this TTM success from Tom House.  It starts off with the airbrushed 1976 Topps Traded of House.  They did a pretty good job with the airbrushing, I think.

I got this 1972 Topps Braves Rookies card signed.  I'll need to look and see if the other guys are living, and if they sign.

Finally, I added a 1974, 1977 and 1978 to the album.

House (b. 1947) played in the majors from 1971 to 1978 for the Braves, Red Sox and Mariners.  He had a career record of 29-23 with 261 strike outs and a 3.79 ERA.

I mailed to House on May 8 and got the cards back on May 14, for an 8-day TAT.
