I own two HOF signed envelopes that have a stamp of a leaping fielder that are each addressed to locations in Hagerstown MD. I was intrigued whether there are other similar pieces out there, particularly when I noticed that they had successive numbers in the Beckett cases. Running the Beckett population reports it appears they may have been submitted with similar pieces for Speaker, Ott, Johnson, Foxx, Cobb, Young an Wagner although without photos it is hard to tell for sure.
Has anyone seen other HOF signed envelopes with this stamp? If so I be interested in learning more and potentially acquiring them.
It is interesting to note on the Lajoie the 1939 postmark from Mentor, Ohio. His SABR biography notes he moved there in 1939 which provides a great provenance. Also note the 1939 baseball centennial stamp.
