Default Lionel Carter
After I interviewed Carter about his Eddie Plank, he and I exchanged a few letters, which I posted on my website. Feel free to check them out, but I do not think the handwriting is even close to what you have posted here.

Thanks, Guys.... Keep 'em coming... I haven't seen anything that matches yet... Burdick's handwriting is the closest, although I don't think it is the same... I will take a closer look tonight.....

I have some 20+ year old correspondence (pre-email), from Barry Sloate, when we used to trade in T205's. I will examine it closely, to determine whether or not he's the one that misspelled "boarder."

Default Frank Nagy Letters
I still have some Frank Nagy letters from the early 1970s. I was just getting ready to head off to college and wrote a letter asking Frank how I could continue collecting while going to college, being that money was so tight. He wrote a six-page letter back, on that narrow stationary of his, giving me some great advice and enclosing a dozen old matchbook "cards" of baseball and hockey players. Because I've kept those letters for 40+ years, my wife calls them my first love letters.

Default I actually have quite oa bit of this at my home
It's a long story -- but I have lots of original information and writing from the pioneers.

Leon, my beloved is out of town this week --- you are welcome to come on over later this week and we'll look and see if there is anything you want to post to the board

Hi Michael- I would have to see them. Maybe I would even remember them.
