But neither of them are in private hands. I know of no autographs ever being offered for sale or housed in private collections which I guess would probably make them if not the TOUGHEST at least among the toughest of all hall of fame autographs to find. I would not be surprised if either of the two were ever offered on a Bona fide authentic item, ie document, letter etc. I would expect them to sell for upwards of $50,000 to blue sky.

Wow, that's an incredible $ amount. So I assume that the baseball historian did not have any of them in the "not for sale" box then either?
