TTM Triumph #26: Jim Perry

It has been over a month since I featured a success, so for this one I will dip into the backlog and show this neat return from the 1970 AL Cy Young winner:


I didn't see that Mr. Perry charges $5 per signed card, until after I had sent the request. So I figured the best case scenario would be to get the card back unsigned with a note about the fee, and the worst case scenario being the card wouldn't come back at all. So I was pretty surprised when a month after being mailed, it came back signed, and there wasn't anything included about card signing fees. I guess I will have to chalk it up to my awesome letter, or more likely, a very generous Jim Perry.

As always, I would like to send a big thank you out to Mr. Perry.


And now for something random:
Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.

  1. He signed for me a few years ago with no fee, too. Nice success!

    1. That's good to hear. I wonder what his criteria is for signing for free, since it seems like the majority of the successes posted online in the last couple of years all came from paying the $5. Maybe it really does depend on the letter?

    1. Underrated and at this point, almost never talked about.
