Adam (Warshawlaw),
There was an ATC permission letter auctioned by REA in 1997, lot# 20. The letter w/ envelope was sent to Neal Ball. The story is that sportswriters from various cities would contact the ballplayers and request their permission to use images of them in the T206 set. In all likelyhood ATC also compensated the writers for doing so. The letter sold for $3,795.
Best,
Adam
