The one that got away for me was a really interesting Cobb letter. 2 handwritten pages responding to a fans autograph request. Nice condition, and in green pen of course.
The first page was typical "thanks for remembering me" sort of stuff. The second......Pure cobb like you read about. Todays players are no good, the game isn't what it used to be, racism etc.
A stamp guy that I hung out at had it when he was just getting into a phase of dabbling in baseball stuff. The price was decent but not great, and it would have been a major stretch to buy it on a college kid budget.
Wish I'd bought that one.
A second one got away and then got found again.
Fenway real photo postcard showing the hill in left field and a bit of game action. Signed and dated on the back by Frank Navin. Passed on it because it was a bit too expensive. Went to buy it later, but he'd sold all the baseball stuff.
Found it about 3 years later at a show a state away.
