This sounds crazy but its true... but over 100 years ago, Collectors/dealers would take a George Washington letter or a Abe Lincoln letter or a Thomas Jefferson letter and slash it into individual "words" and mat with a photo and sell it , so its not a NEW thing. And I could be wrong BUT a letter signed by one of the above MIGHT have more historical importance than a guy who could not even write and sold out his own team mates

Have to disagree, Jim. A century ago, collectors did not mat autographs with photos. And the slicing up of letters into individual words is quite a modern phenomena. (In defense of those that do that sort of thing, though, it is usually an unsigned manuscript that is minced.)

David Not a problem see....
http://www.amazon.com/Autographs-Col.../dp/B00005VH8Y This was written in 1960. Maybe i was wrong in using the word "matted" as I agree with you it can be confusing , BUT they did sell individual "words" and later (who knows when) matted and sold them

I've got a copy, Jim. (And it's been inscribed by Mary Benjamin herself.
