I retrieved the letters from my bank today and I have 41 of them...some are just cuts or index cards, some are the letters Steen sent with notes from the player at the bottom, some are full letters from the player, and a few are from the wife of the player.

and the last one was sent to a man named Roscoe Ford, but was meant for Russ Ford. Roscoe got a kick out of being asked for his autograph.

edited to add: I did at one time own the Babe Ruth letter, but sold it to ease some of my expenses on the entire collection.

Has anyone received an invoice yet? I have emailed the auction house twice requesting one and have received no response.

They called me the Monday after the auction and I gave them a credit card over the phone and got my items 2 days later.

I like how Brown signed his... Mordecai Brown, a Cub. Nice!

[David Atkatz]

That was his usual way of signing, Chuck.

I totally forgot I had this Steen letter to Zach Wheat. Wheat then wrote back to Sheen on the back of the same letter. With the envelope. Wish I would have ended up with the Wheat picture now.

I saw that someone turned a bunch of those Steen photos in the last Hunt auction (ALL Star Game Auction). Although Hunt called him "Charles" Steen?? I never looked at completed prices to see if they made a profit. I still have about 40 of the Steen letters, would really like to get the Sam Crawford signed photo.

edited to add: Just went and looked at completed prices in the Hunt auction...I don't think the flipper made any money, and it looks like quite a few of the photos did not sell.
