Lets See Some Letterheads and Envelopes

Great items guys. I've noticed one thing Dan, George Trautman must have been a busy dude. I've seen several correspondence with his name on it.

Yeah, he was the head of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues and I think almost all transactions had to go through him. I got a big slug of his correspondence from Jonsstats on ebay recently.

Andy, great letter!! How much of that Stuart stuff do you guys still have?

Hi Dan,
We held on to some of the items that we liked such as a really nice oversized Billings team photo, as well as a few other 8x10's from that team. There's also a nice Pirates signed ball but unfortunately, without Clemente. We also have about 5 of his minor league contracts. I don't think there's any more Lincoln items.

Great thread! The boxing stuff is incredible, Adam! Especially the Cassius Clay.

This is an envelope from Ben Cheney....he used to own the Tacoma Giants and also founded this team (that I didn't know of).

He owned Cheney Lumber and the envelope looks like a 2x4. The back of the envelope claims Cheney Lumber was the "Originator of the eight foot stud."

Love Stoneham's (aka the Carpetbagger) letter to Hans Lobert!
