Bob Friend, Gail Harris, John Miles and Curt Raydon TTM Returns

A few nice returns waiting for me in my mail box today.

Bob Friend signed his 1959 and 1960 Topps for me.

Gail Harris signed his 1960 Topps.  Harris played for the Minneapolis Millers back in the fifties so I asked him if he had any particular memories about his time playing here.  He replied that he liked the fishing but did not care for the mosquitoes.

John "Mule" Miles signed his 2007 Allen & Ginter and wrote me a nice letter about being an Air Force mechanic after his playing days.

Finally, Curt Raydon signed his 1959 Topps in ballpoint.  The signature is difficult to see.

I won a couple of eBay auctions for 1972 Topps lots.  One lot had 165 cards, and the other has 312 cards.  Hopefully there's not too much duplication between the two lots.  Regardless, these should give me a good start on the set.

My Son's '58s

My son sent out a few 1958 Topps that he bought from Jim & Steve's at the Minneapolis Sports Collectible and Autograph Convention earlier this month.  Last week he got a few back.

Bobby Shantz returned his card signed in one week.

Bob Friend signed the Mound Aces card and returned it in 9 days.

Virgil Trucks not only signed his card, but also included a signed card of his own, a signed stat sheet, and a nice note wishing John good luck in his baseball career.
