James Kerr


In December of 2020, I decided to seek out an address for James Kerr. I found an address and sent him my card and a letter.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the address was incorrect. Eleven days later I got a "return to sender" notice.

Nearly a month later, I found another address but in a different state. Since my original letter was wishing him and his family a Merry Christmas, I decided to toss out that letter and write him a new one.


61 days later my card came back signed and he included a note apologizing for the delay.


James signed a 1996 Tampa Bay Devil Rays Team Set card.
