I think letters with interesting content are my favorite thing to collect. Here are some inexpensive examples. Would love to see others.
Brief descriptions, from left to right starting in the top row. I've also inserted links in case you want to see the person's page on CooperstownExpert.com
1.
Ford Frick letter dated two months after the first HoF induction. Frick writes about
Christy Mathewson's autograph.
2.
Sam Breadon letter to
Stan Musial for contract negotiations just after Musial's first year and just before his first MVP season. The rest of the letter and other letters from the same negotiation are found on either guy's page.
3. Letter about a ball signed by
George Wright. Imagine having that! It's from
Warren Giles.
4. Letter about
Ripken,

Sosa, and
Maris from then-Marlins advance scout

5. Letter about
Sandy Koufax picking up a save for teammate and letter author
