Thursday and Friday brought these:
Mike Reid - c/o home, 35 days, 3/3
Also returned and signed an extra 73T I said he could keep.

Steve Fuller - c/o home, 34 days, 3/3

A musical theme indeed. Reid retired from football and went into country music, won a Grammy in 1984 for Best Country Song for writting Ronnie Milsap's hit "Stranger in My House." A singer as well he scored a #1 single in 1988 on the country charts. Fuller on the other hand was the rhythmically challenged "dancer" in the Super Bowl Shuffle video, where he was awarded a gold record for his rapping skills:

They say Jimbo is our man.
If Jimmy can't do it, I sure can.
This is Steve, and it's no wonder
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder.
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas,
This is for Mike and Papa Bear Halas.
I'm not here to feather his ruffle,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Scanner is down, so no scans for now. An above average number of returns (for me) this week, mostly Pirate vintage. A huge thank you to birdsfan85 for the Pritchard card.

Pirates
Ron Brand 1/1 '64 Topps in 8 days
Manny Mota 2/2 '67 & '68 Topps 12 days
Don Robinson 5/5 12 days
Fred Cambria '71 Topps 8 days
Tim Foli 80, 81, 82 Topps 14 days
Tom Butters '64 Topps 7 days
Ted Beard '52 Topps 7 days
Buddy Pritchard 58 Topps in 6 days
Wally Westlake 50 Bowman 7 days
Curt Raydon 59 Topps 7 days
Bob Patterson 3/3 7 days
Frank Bork 66 Topps 7 days

Other Returns:
Fernando Vina 2/2 in 12 days
Jim Wynn 1/1 in 7 days
George Strickland 1/1 in 10 days - I had sent a '52 Bowman, picturing him in a Pirate uniform. He must have mixed up my request with someone else's, sending back a signed '55 Bowman (picturing him as an Indian) in a toploader. I'll probably just pick up another '52 and resend.

What a great week to get that many back. There is a 1961 card with Larry and Norm Sherry both on it that you might want to attempt. I've gotten it signed by both.
LOVE the Jimmy Buffett. I might PM you for your source, if I can't find it in one of my other sources.

Sorry, I didn't know that. I had mine signed by Larry in early 2005.
