If there is no big value, history trumps collecting every time. The research value here could and would be invaluable.
The Baseball Hall of Fame is in a class by itself for both displaying and providing the research materials for baseball historians. They are friendly and everything is accessible. I certainly can't speak to Mr. Burdick's collection and what has or does happen in New York. The failings of the BBHOF at one time was to trust people in their research department. As we know not all collectors can be trusted. Actually that is a bad statement, those people stealing are not true collectors or researchers like most on this board. They were simply thieves. That is not what our hobby is about but as we all know sometimes the wrong people creep in. I also believe people should do with their holdings what they choose, but to criticize the Hall of Fame is wrong, they do a wonderful job.

Mark, Tom & Rhett please understand this is just my opinion, in no way is it an attack on your opinions.

Appreciate all the great advice and suggestions from the forum members. I will probably sell them to a passionate Detroit Tiger collector/fan, who can appreciate their historical significance, or donate to a local Detroit museum (Bentley Historical).
I noticed on the reverse of the Mrs. Ty Cobb business card a little note in reference to the birth of George Henry. Unfortunately, he passed away in infancy (1914). Can't tell if the handwriting is Ty Cobb's or not. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again guys! Mark

I'm certainly no expert, but I looked at several exemplars of Ty Cobb's handwriting online (there are several handwritten letters....you can Google them). I don't think your example is Ty Cobb. The letter "g" is consistently different in the online examples, among other differences. But, again, I'm no expert............perhaps others with more knowledge will respond. I know there are several signature/handwriting experts on this board.
