^#1338 ^Lot 1389 Ty Cobb

ALS signed “Ty,” one page, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, February 12, 1955. Letter to “Danny.” In full: “I ask a favor of you. I am about out of the reprint pictures, I have to give to boys and fans, in the past a lack of the proper people up here, I have had to pay too much for these prints and received slick finishes also very cheap paper. I have a lot of requests, I need say one hundred or more each of possibly three different poses or plays etc. I know they have firms down there that make theatrical or moving picture people reprints. I might have negatives, if not then the original pictures and they can make negative from it. Let me know who I can take matter up with, will want quotes on 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 sizes. Best wishes to you.” A uniform shade of mild toning from previous display, and a thin strip of adhesive remnant along top edge of reverse, otherwise fine condition. Interesting insight from an inaugural member of the Hall of Fame attempting to keep up with what was certainly a constant request for autographed photos.
