Value of letters

[Archive]

I have two letters that I'd be curious as to their value. They were both sent to my grandfather in the 1920's. One is from Ty Cobb that discusses some clippings he had sent him. The other is from Judge Landis who responded to my grandfather's assertion that the trade deadline should be moved ahead. The "Czar" agreed with my grandfather's assertion that it created a competitive imbalance. I also have a scrapbook with baseball clippings from the 1915-1920 timeframe. The scrapbook includes some tobacco cards that are unfortunately glued onto the back cover. Those cards include Roger Bresnahan and Johnny Evers as well as others. Also have photographs of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and George Sisler taken during warm-ups at Tiget Stadium. Cool stuff, now curious what it may be worth.
