I picked up a Bucky Walters letter on eBay maybe two years ago. When I got it, I figured out that Larry is the author Lawrence Ritter, who wrote "The Glory of Their Times." I was quite please to see commentary about something personal and of importance hobbyists within the context.

Beautiful Letter! What a different era, when people actually took great pride in their penmanship. I always loved Bucky Walters' signature.

As promised, here is the 1940 WS Pennant, with the same Batter image as Chris G's two great Reds Pennants...

I remember when that puppy was up FS on feebay. Should have given you more of a run for your money

I've said that more than a few times myself, haha...

Thanks for NOT doing that, Chris. It was actually my 6th or 7th crack at getting this version. There's actually a yellow variation of this pennant that I think looks a bit better. The Red and the Yellow versions seem equally rare...

But logic would dictate that the yellow was sold at Briggs Stadium and the Red was sold at Crosley Field. So guess I was fortunate, despite the long wait!
