Default goudey's?

Posted By: bruce dorskind



When I first became a serious collector in 1975 I wrote to george thomson-
last President of Goudey.

He wrote me a beautiful two page letter (on Goudey stationary) explaining
the history of the company, the real story behind the Lajoir card and the
reason Howard Delong--his then CFO left to start Delong Gum company.

The letter was reprinted once by Lew Lipset in one of his newsletters
and in the second issue of VCBC

I have entertained offers to sell ( turned down 1500) but want to make
it available to the most sophisticated collectors- and perhaps have
color reprints made

Would be interested in everyone's commens and wonder if $25.00
sounds like a fair price for a color reprint of this incredibly unique
letter and what people think the value of the original letter might be

thanks,

Bruce
