before last week, i had sent cards to ron fairly on two different occasions. both times, there was no response. no problem - they were shots in the dark. one set of cards (a 1978 topps and a 1967 topps) were sent to his home address. the other set (another 1978 topps and a 1968 topps) was sent to him c/o the mariners where he used to broadcast games.
fast forward to last week when i noticed that he had signed and returned a few ttm requests according to sportscardforum. i quickly pulled a couple of fairly dupes - a 1962 topps and a 1978 o-pee-chee - and mailed them off. i was pleased to find them in my mailbox just a few days later.
fairly was the last dodger to wear number 6 before steve garvey. fairly was traded to the expos in june of 1969, and the garv made his debut in september of that year. i actually knew him better as a broadcaster for the angels.
thanks ron!
