I don't think I've ever seen a WaJo letter hit 2 grand, and I would say the average of some length goes for around $1,200. If it were my item, like you I would have been hoping for more (don't we always!) considering it's an early one with baseball content, but honestly I think you did OK.

Highest sale price I saw (with some nice baseball content) was this one from Heritage for $4,800. Most others seem to be in Hank's range (no surprise, as he would be the expert on this topic!). I especially enjoyed the length and early date for the one I picked up though!
