History, content, and presentation combine in this spectacular letter, dated February 1, 1929. The letter is from Joe Carr to Richard Wykoff referencing Carr sending Wykoff his contract for the Columbus Base Ball Club, a minor league franchise in Osborn, Kansas. Signed at the bottom by Carr as President of the team, the letter has typical mailing folds and comes with original envelope addressed to Wykoff. Signature rates 8/10 and the letter (on Columbus Baseball Company stationery) remains in immaculate condition save for a chip to the bottom right corner. If you'd like to keep these historical docs together, we have the actual contract and it is also in this sale.
