duke snider through the mail success!

fresh off of my john wooden ttm success, i sent two cards to the duke of flatbush in the hopes he would sign and return them. he did, in short order. i was out of town all last week, but these arrived right around three weeks after i mailed them out.

first, a 2001 fleer greats of the game card.
then, a 1984 donruss hall of fame diamond king. i really liked the diamond kings growing up, and i think dick perez' portrait of the silver fox is fantastic.

i should note that, completely coincidentally, a few days after i sent these out night owl posted about his plans to give it a shot. he had the foresight to seek input on which card(s) to send, but i am still happy with my cards.

for those keeping track (like me), i am 3 for 4 in my ttm attempts spanning six years. corey koskie, john wooden, and duke snider were successful, with shawn green unaccounted for - 4 years and counting.

thanks duke! and keep an eye out in your mailbox greg!
