Info needed on 1939 centennial first day covers showing inductees.

[Lucas00]

I've tried researching these to no avail, I can only find a few examples of covers showing players (can't find any that look like this?). Tried to contact Steve who runs the 1939 centennial site but based on past messages not getting a reply I'm not expecting this one to.

I've seen the regular generic non player covers sell for very little, seems like $10-$20. But I mean a Babe Ruth covers gotta be worth something?

Thanks for your help!!

Player shown are

Honus Wagner, abner doubleday, ty cobb, christy mathewson, grover alexander, walter johnson

Maybe list them on the BST for $500 each and see what happens?

But, and this could merely be a rumor, i heard within the last year or so that Steve may have passed. He has not been at the last November Shriners show or two and he was always sitting a few booths down from the popcorn/candy vendor.

There are even versions of the Baseball Centennial covers with little photos of the players.

Steve has passed. He was always a pleasure to talk to and very generous with his knowledge of all things Centennial related:

Thank you all for the comments. Didn't know that he passed away, I'm happy to see his site is still up.

Don't think I've ever seen these before.
