as always, i choose to believe it's legit (reputable dealer, good feeback etcetra, etcetra). while i haven't given up hope necessarily (every once in a while, someone will post about a ttm success), i am running out of 1978 topps lasorda cards to send.
tommy is getting up there in age, even though he pretty tirelessly continues his mission and march towards global saturation. sometimes he can be kinda ornery, i guess, but he was entertaining to watch as a manager. i recall one game where he came out of the dugout and played cheerleader, trying to get us fans going in a close game. i am sure that, and many of his other antics annoy a lot of people, but 4 pennants, two world series titles, and being the manager of the team of my youth will buy you a lot of leeway from me.
here's the tally:
team card (red adams) - through the mail success!

I have enjoyed watching your progress on this set. I am unofficially trying to get as many Dodger cards signed as I can find within reason (cost). The 78 set was my first one one of my favorites because of that. I don't have all of them yet, in fact I believe you have more different that I do at this point.
Keep looking for the Burke...they do exist!
