Gentle Tom Landry – Did Not Disappoint

Tom Landry Autograph

This is an example of a Tom Landry autograph, this example was obtained by me through the mail or TTM. The first time I wrote Mr. Landry via the mail, he sent the item back within 2 weeks. The second time I sent him an item in the mail, it was this Football card, from the Pro Set manufacturing company. It took about 1 month, I did not know it until the card was returned to me signed, with a note. The note was from his wife, and it stated that Tom had been hospitalized and that is why the item was delayed. Later on I was able to find out that Tom Landry was battling Leukemia, sadly. Can you imagine, asking someone for an autograph and that person telling you that the reason they were delayed with your item, was an illness. It speaks volumes about the type of person he was as well as his family. His wife wrote the note.

Today, you’re lucky if the athlete, coach, or actor you are seeking an autograph from, does not send you to Hell and back. Boy times certainly have changed. Out with the 1960’s, and 1970’s went human decency. Take it from me, an autograph collector for the better part of nearly 40 years. It is not common. Insults, bad looks, and temperament are.
