Carl Erskine and Bob Henrich TTM Returns

I received a couple more ttm returns today.

Carl Erskine signed a 1970 Fleer McLaughlin card commemorating his performance in game three of the 1953 World Series, in which he struck out 14.


 And Bob Henrich signed his 1958 Topps and the 1958 Topps Reds team card.  Oddly, he signed his card in red, and the team card in green.  It's different, but the red looks pretty good on his card.  Probably because it matches the color of his printed name.  And the green on the team card doesn't look that bad.


Mr. Henrich just turned 85 years old last month.  The handwriting on his card looks very similar to the card he signed for me about 18 years ago.  At that point, he signed his name "Bob", and this time, "Bobby".  And my first request to him took nearly two years to get back!  I sent it in February of 2004 and received it in January of 2006.  This request took just 23 days.
