Another TTM Success From Tom Skerritt

There was a vendor at the National who had a whole table of older non-sports card sets and a huge box of loose cards from each of those sets.  When I saw that he had Alien cards at 4/$1.00, I picked up four cards I would be able to send to actor Tom Skerritt and have some of these in my autograph album.

I had gotten Skerritt earlier this year TTM on a 1987 Topps checklist.  I keep getting asked why I send the checklists, and the answer is simple.  I send them out because I have so many of them, so I figured I'd use them up by getting random folks who were "active" in 1987.  There's no rhyme or reason to it, I just thought it would be a good way to use them, and have a couple really cool pages at the back of my 1987 album.

I really like these cards, and am glad I could add a few to my autograph album.  Skerritt is likely the only actor/actress from Alien that I would have been able to get, as several have passed away, and Veronica Cartwright and Sigourney Weaver aren't signing.

I mailed to Skerritt on August 7 and got the cards back signed on November 23, for a 108-day TAT.

TTM Success - Tom Skerritt

I added another non-sports autograph to my collection when I received this TTM success from actor, Tom Skerritt.  He signed the back of my Alien art card that had already been signed by the artist, Chris McJunkin.

I also threw in a 1987 Topps checklist, and Skerritt signed the back of that, as well.

Skerritt (b. 1933) has acted in movies and TV shows since 1962.  His notable works include: Alien, M.A.S.H. (movie), A River Runs Through It, Steel Magnolias, Top Gun, The Dead Zone, Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke, and the TV series, Picket Fences (for which, he won an Emmy Award).

I mailed to Skerritt on November 9 and got the cards back on December 8, for a 29-day TAT.
