Tough T206 Player Art Devlin 3 Page Signed ALS died 1948
 

This is such a cool piece. It hails from the group of letters that were recently found from 1910 regarding the post season all star series that never got off the ground. This piece is actually on a single page but is folded so as to put the writing on three sides.

Devlin writes regarding his agreement to take part in the all star series, but shows some reluctence as he does not want to get in trouble with the league. The great part of the letter is that he mentions that he will be "going to trial" in October of 1910 in Brooklyn. This was due to an on field incident where Devlin climbed into the stands to pummel a heckling fan in June of that year.

The letter is in beautiful condition and the autograph is large and very bold. The letter is dated September 25, 1910 from the Polo Grounds.

Devlin was a member of the 1905 World Champion Giants and was integral to the many contending Giants teams from 1904-1911.

Devlin is also in the famed T206 set.

Asking $600 delivered.
