Former Yankees southpaw Bob Shirley signed four cards for me. I definitely offered for him to keep a few, but looks like he chose to sign and return them all. I like his signature a lot...it feels very lefty-ish with the tilt.
Thanks, Mr. Shirley!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

TTM Success: Bob Shirley
Another TTM success, although this was from a retired player and not from 2016 Spring Training. Based on my returns over the last week, I really need to just send to retired guys and forget spring training. Hey, 2017 Lost Collector, remember this post.

These all game out great. I'd say the 1987 Fleer is my favorite, as the signature pops and the photo is post-pitch (I think) as opposed to mid-pitch. The other three share a similar angle.
Thanks, Mr. Shirley!

That is Shirley a great return.
