Another TTM Success - Wilbur Howard

There were a few of the boxes that I got from my former LCS when it closed that had been sorted by team.  One of them was Astros, and had quite a few older cards.  I pulled a couple that I knew I would be able to get signed TTM, and sent them along.  These two cards I got signed by Wilbur Howard were a couple that came back, so far.

Howard signed the 1978 Topps (top) and the above Fleer Astros sticker.  I thought the sticker would look cool in my album, and I liked how Howard signed it.

I mailed to Howard on February 3 and got the cards back on February 23, for a 20-day TAT.

TTM Success - Wilbur Howard

This was a very colorful TTM success coming from former Astro, Wilbur Howard.  I have had his cards for a long time, but have never sent TTM to him until recently.  This 1976 Topps might be one of the best examples of the old rainbow Astros uniforms.  It even shows the commemorative patch for the late Don Wilson (#40 patch on Howard's sleeve).

Here are two more cards that I got back, both showing off that amazing Astros jersey.  Howard has some really nice cards and all three that I sent came back looking great.

Howard (b. 1949) played in the majors from 1973 to 1978 for the Brewers and Astros.  He had 267 hits, 6 home runs and a .250 batting average.

I mailed to Howard on October 9 and got the cards back on October 26, for a 17-day TAT.
