Default Old Letter from Charles Bray

Posted By: mike rothstein

Hi
I'm new to this forum but have been at CU for almost 2 years. I collect memorabilia and cards from all years.
From the vintage side, I have been working on a T3 set since 1992.

I posted that thread about the letter I found. There has been so much controversy over the T206 Wagner PSA 8 that I have been doing some research and found this letter on a web.
That letter has an envelope dated 1958.

What I found impressive was his 25$ appraisal of the card and would pay 10$ for the Plank and all the rest are commons! Wow!

Thanx
mike

edit: not sure how to do this here - the envelope


Sorry to keep editing: but also of interest in the letter was the fact that Mr. Bray explicitly states NOT to mix Honus with the "other" Wagner in the set. Well, someone had a bad day at PSA and put this on the flip of the "other" Wagner.
This was up on ebay, I want to say, early in the year? It raised a few eyebrows!



Last time, promise: in case someone had not seen this pic - here is a photo of Mr. Bray with some pretty impressive friends!



This is emblematic of the type of stuff I enjoy reading about and searching for - I think it only enhances the collecting experience IMO.
