Hi Steve - I thought the story was pretty well known by now. First off, it is likely one of a kind. I acquired it from Mastro Auctions about seven years ago. Subsequently Peter Nash alleged that it was stolen from the BB Hall of Fame. Considering the source I let the situation fester for several years and it took a back seat to all the headache and humbug I incurred moving from Hawaii to British Columbia. Last year I made contact with the Hall through an attorney to ascertain if it was indeed theirs. They were able to demonstrate that it was. This past June my wife and I escorted the Falk Matty to Cooperstown and returned it to its rightful home. We were given a personal tour of the archives which was pretty cool (that's me with Harry Hooper's glove) and Graig Kreindler is making a painting of the image which is gonna be killer, but the whole affair was still a sorry-ass sojourn through the sleaze in which our hobby is mired.

Thanks David for the info...must have been really tough to go through that and you obviously loved the card and the frame job looks nice. Awesome you could get a tour of the archives but that must have really hurt...sorry if I drudged up bad memories on that.

You are a exception to the hobby and we thank you for that...hopefully the HOF actually displays it and doesn't keep it buried.
