TTM Tuesday: (Doerr and Virdon)

I got two returns back this past week.

This 2013 Allen & Ginter card of Boston Red Sox and Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr came back in about a month and a half.

Doerr was born April 7, 1918. He will turn 99 years old next month and is currently the oldest living Major League baseball player.

I also got a two card return from Bill Virdon. Virdon was the 1955 Rookie of the Year winner with the St. Louis Cardinals and won a World Series as a member of the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates. He also managed 4 different clubs over a 13 year period (1972 - 1984), twice winning Manager of the Year.

I didn't realize it until writing this post, but the two cards I sent are from his first year as a manager and his last. 

TTM Success: Bobby Doerr & Dick Groat

It has been a while since I had any TTM success, but I am at least partly to blame. I have quite a few requests still out there, but I hadn't sent out any new requests in a while. Last Thursday, July 15th, I sent out 8 TTM autograph requests. Today, just 8 days later I received 2 back. I got 2 cards from Boston Red Sox Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr. He was nice enough to sign the two cards of his that I had recently pulled from a box of 2006 Fleer Greats of the Game. Mr. Doerr has signed for me before TTM and from what I understand, is always really quick. Thanks Mr. Doerr! I also received an autograph from Dick Groat. Mr. Groat added the inscription that I requested, "1960 N.L. MVP" on his 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game card. Thanks Mr. Groat!
