Thanks to the guys who complimented my Greenberg letter.
I have sold a few things out of my baeball collection lately to finance purchases to build up my presidential collection but this piece will never be sold.

The interesting thing about that letter is that it appears to be addressed to someone with the last name of Bataglia in Barrington, Illinois. I grew up not far from Barrington and knew a number of people with that last name growing up. It would really be interesting to track them down again and see if the recipient was a family member of theirs. Great letter!!

On a side note that is totally unrelated to this thread except that it pertains to Barrington, Barrington Illinois is where Baby Face Nelson bought it in a gun battle with 2 federal officers. Odly enough, there is a McDonalds there today!!
