A recent TTM success I had come back to my mailbox was from Merv Rettenmund. Both of the cards I sent turned out beautifully. Merv played for the Orioles in the late 60's and into the early 70's before he was traded to Cincinnati. He played a key role as an outfielder on those great Orioles teams from that time period.
I'm not the biggest fan of 1972 Topps but I think this card turned out great. The nice blue Sharpie signature compliments the light blue (nearly teal) frame nicely.I'm a bigger fan of 1970 Topps. Gray isn't always my go to color but for the design of the card I think it works.
I sent these 2 cards out on November 4th, 2023 and got them back on November 16th for a 12 day TAT. Thank You Mr. Rettenmund!
These look great signed!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to double-check my binder, but I think I got him a bunch of years ago too. He's got a really nice signature. And I guess it's because I hadn't seen either of these cards for a bit, but I had forgotten how young he looked. And it's funny too, because he looks younger on the '72 than he does on the '70.
