I've been feeling nostalgic about collecting the 1958 Topps set in 2003 and later after starting this hobby then. It's been a long time since I added a card to that set via a ttm request. The only living player I still need for the set is Sandy Koufax.
So, a while ago I bought a few 1958 Topps cards to send out to players I already have, along with a few other vintage cards for those players. Today's ttm returns all included a 1958 Topps.
Mack Burk signed his 1957 and 1958 Topps as well as a 1958 Phillies team card.
Marty Keough signed his 1958, 1960 and 1964 Topps. He didn't return the 1966 Topps I had sent.
And Lloyd Merritt signed his 1958 Topps in the same ballpoint pen type and color he's used for my requests since 2003.
Finally, I completed a swap with a fellow SCN member for each other's Vern Law cards. This member was motivated to swap cards because he had sent a card to Law that was special to his father, and he was getting it signed by him as a gift.
I'm happy to get both the 1952 Bowman and 1966 Topps ERA Leaders card, which I don't have in my collection yet. I plan on sending the 66 to Juan Marichal next.
