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
