Greenberg
Leon, you outbid me on that Greenberg, too.
I have been after the R309 Greenberg for ages.....if anyone's got one... It's one of the few Greenbergs I am missing (another avid Greenberg collector here). Brian

sorry about that

Sorry about that. I knew there were a few bidders on it even though it was sort of miscategorized. I had been looking for an R309-2 (which are rather tough) when that small group came up....so there I was. I was a little surprised this Greenberg card went as high as it did, in the condition it is, but then also know he is a top tier HOF'er and Jewish to boot. My birth name was Kaplan......long story.

Ok, I know this has been a card thread up until the above team issued picture, but I always like to show this piece when the opportunity arises. Flog me if you must Leon for posting memorabilia in a card thread
 .A handwrtten letter dated 10 July 1944 , written and signed by Hank Greenberg during WWII, while he was stationed in China. I also have the envelope which he signed twice. And yes I am also a Yid, and I grew up in the Bronx as Hank did, and I went to the same high school in the Bronx that Hank did, James Monroe HS. --

Richard...great item
Richard- that is an awsome letter!!! It is very apropos for this thread too. I must be seen as a hard-ass out there (by members)......and that's certainly not my intention. Yes, it's nice to keep most things organized on the board but this is a hobby and is supposed to be fun. That is what I am trying to get back to.
Thanks for posting the letter. regards

Greenberg
Hey, Brian/Zan,
Welcome. Unfortunately, I have a new scanner but have been too lazy to scan all the cards in. Maybe someday. Leon, yes, I was also a bit surprised that card went so high, but they don't come around too often. Greenberg is, for me, one of those rare heroes. Brian
