For some time now, Tony LaRussa has been a terrific TTM signer. I finally stopped being lazy and sent him a request, as it's not every day you can add an autograph of a HOFer to your collection.
I'm sure I have more, but this is the only card I could find at that time, so it did the job.
LaRussa signed and returned this card in just 8 days c/o the Arizona Diamondbacks.
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.

Great score AJ
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Glad you didn't get him in a Cardinals uniform.
ReplyDeleteSweet. Might need to try my luck at getting his signature. 89T is a great card... since that's the year they beat the Giants to win the World Series.
ReplyDeleteI hope that in 2038, or whenever Topps does their Heritage set based in 1989 Topps, that they have managers taking photos in that pose. That would be classic!
ReplyDeleteNice success!
Actually, I wish I said more about the post and how goofy it is. Back in my soccer days, that's how we'd take a pee when there was no bathroom around. You sort of sit like that and arrange so you're aiming downwards and...you get. Maybe TMI, but that's what I thought after your comment and giving the pose a second look.
DeleteIts a great card choice!
