1939 HOF cover signed by all 11 living members... Ruth, Wagner, Cobb, etc.

Just noticed that the one that sold at REA a couple years ago for just under $13K is actually missing 1 of the 11 original living members, Honus Wagner.

I found this one that is even closer, it has the same 11 players w/o all those extra sigs. It looks to have sold for $25,300 at Christies about 12 years ago (Nov 1998)

Well, Gallery of History is still in business and run by mr. Axelrod. Thats something positive I guess.

But those prices on his items are nuts!

personalized 3x5 by Hank Aaron= $499.00 ! ? ! ?

is it just me, or is it odd that 3 items that were postmarked at the same time and place and, one can gather that they were probably all signed at or around the same time, would have such drastically different types of Cy Young signatures?

The Honus Wagner and Nap Lajoie signatures also look very different on the first two envelopes. I'm not an autograph expert, but perhaps it's because they were signing so many things in a crowded environment?
