Do Any of You Have any Writing Samples from the Hobby Pioneers?

[leftygrove10]

Take a look at the back of my R315 Travis Jackson card. (And No! I did not write on the back of the card... ) But it is interesting... It says "R315" and "with position + team name in the bottom boarder"... And "border" is mispelled as "boarder"...

Perhaps someone in the 80's wrote this after looking at a baseball card catalog... But (and perhaps I am stretching it a bit) perhaps one of the hobby pioneers owned this card at one point and wrote this on the back... Burdick? Lionel Carter? Do any of you have any writing samples of Burdick or Carter (or anyone else) that look similar to this? It would be really cool if I could trace the ownership of this card back to one of the hobby pioneers...

I have a stack of letters written to me from Frank Nagy in the early 1980's. Everytime I would win cards from his mail auction,
he would include a letter with the cards telling me I overbid (with a refund), or some tidbid of information regarding the cards,
or how scarce the cards were, etc., etc.

Frank was one of the best of this hobby's pioneers.

I have to dig up the letters from my "archives", they are buried somewhere in my sports room.
