Do Any of You Have any Writing Samples from the Hobby Pioneers?

[tedzan]

I have a stack of letters written to me from Frank Nagy in the early 1980's. Everytime I would win cards from his mail auction,
he would include a letter with the cards telling me I overbid (with a refund), or some tidbid of information regarding the cards,
or how scarce the cards were, etc., etc.

Frank was one of the best of this hobby's pioneers.

I have to dig up the letters from my "archives", they are buried somewhere in my sports room.

After I interviewed Carter about his Eddie Plank, he and I exchanged a few letters, which I posted on my website. Feel free to check them out, but I do not think the handwriting is even close to what you have posted here.

I have some 20+ year old correspondence (pre-email), from Barry Sloate, when we used to trade in T205's. I will examine it closely, to determine whether or not he's the one that misspelled "boarder."
