Fleer 1990, #354

NOTES:

Mark is a great signer TTM and has a stack of really good cards. I grabbed all of these from 1990 and sent them off covering most of the ones I wanted signed right out of the gate. I especially love the lighting and photography on the Score 1990 entry. While a drop off from the 89 set, this one is highly underrated.

NOTES:

Absolutely exquisite cards I wanted to get Larry to sign. Unfortunately the parallel gold version of the base card I originally sent was never returned. Still I was happy to get both of these set needs signed out of the Rookies & Stars set from 2009.

ACQUIRED: 2012, Akron Acquisition. TTM 2021, C/o Work
SENT: 4/27 RECEIVED: 5/13 (16 DAYS)
FAILURE: TTM 2011, C/o Home

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

1990 Fleer Update, #U-87
1900 Score Supplmental, #34T

NOTES:

After failing out on Jeff back in 2011 originally, I was able to acquire 2 of his autographs from a friend of mine who was exiting the hobby for a while. I still really wanted to pick him up on his Pro Set 1989 card, and these other two (despite the fact they were from after he defected to Kansas City). I really liked the Score Supplemental. It’s well framed, the photography is excellent, and the color from the image to the design are spot on.
