TTM Success - Jim Leyland

My quest for 1987 Topps signatures has already landed me some big names, and this success from former manager, Jim Leyland, is a really nice success.  Leyland signed the card in silver Sharpie, since the background was so dark.

Leyland (b. 1944) managed in the majors from 1986 to 1999 and 2006 to 2013 for the Pirates, Marlins, Rockies and Tigers.  His career record is 1,769-1,728 (.506 winning %).  He won the NL Pennant in 1997 with the Marlins, and went on to win the World Series that season.  He also won the AL Pennant in 2006 and 2012 with the Tigers.  He was the NL Manager of the Year in 1990 and 1992 and the AL Manager of the Year in 2006.

I mailed to Leyland on January 20 and got the card back on February 3, for a 14-day TAT.
