    1925 HoFer handwritten letter

    I like your thinking there. Harris was wildly popular in DC by then after having delivered their first World Series title the year before. After comparing the handwriting to everything I could find, I'm very confident Harris wrote the letter. Not sure how to research that at all. Pretty...

    1925 HoFer handwritten letter

    Here's an old boxscore from the Railroad league. I can't explain the Memphis postmark, but am feeling quite confident that he wrote the letter. Gosh I scoured the web for stuff on Barbour. If you get a chance, think of your favorite HoFer or star and look him up on my website. There's some...

    August Autograph Pickups

    What will everyone pick up this month? Here's an August acquisition. The letter is signed by Christy Mathewson's primary catcher Chief Meyers referencing Matty's 342nd win and written on the same day - May 19, 1914. That victory tied Mathewson for 4th on the all-time wins list with Tim Keefe...

    Contract negotiation between a 22-year old Stan Musial and Cardinal owner Sam Breadon

    The letters are in my collection. It was fun to finally put everything on a website. More of the collection can be found at CooperstownExpert.com. Hope you get a chance to view it. Every HoFer has a page and there are a couple hundred non-HoFers too. Everything on the site is in the collection.
