Default Unusual Frank Crosetti item.....no doubt this item is rare

A number of years ago I sent Frank Crosetti a through the mail autograph request and he graciously replied with a beautiful autograph on the card I had sent. Once I looked inside the envelope I realized that, in order to protect my card Mr. Crosetti inserted into the SASE this credit card offer that was addressed directly to him from Chase. I immediately thought it was a pretty cool keepsake of the Yankee lifer but also realized that this might not be the kind of thing to be throwing on Ebay. Well fast forward to today I was cleaning out my closet and found this offer once again. I assumed that since he is no longer with us it might be appropriate to now go ahead and see if any collector would like this unusual item. Since I have no idea what it is worth I thought the best thing to do is to put it up here in an auction and see where it goes.

This is a normal credit card offer form that is one full sheet but has been folded five times to fit the normal credit card offer envelope. Mr. Crosetti has taken a blue sharpie and drew squiggly lines all over it to negate the possibility of anyone trying to obtain a card in his name. Let me just say I am still shocked that anyone would send something like this to a complete stranger but it has created a cool collectible.

Lets say we start this auction out at 5.00 with free shipping with the ending time being Thursday, November 3 at 9pm central time. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Thank you
