It was an historically significant contract and found out later the buyer was going to CUT the signature out for a display. (hope he's not reading this). I thought he was joking.....HE WAS NOT JOKING. Another collector came to the rescue and worked out a trade plus cash for his Grabowski cut in exchange for the intact 1929 Contract

Every time I see a cut of a famous person, I wonder what the surrounding document looked like. I have a Walter Johnson letter with a beautiful signature, and the accompanying envelope, also signed. It's tempting to sell the envelope, but it's the only way of dating the letter. Given all the cuts out there, I guess I'm lucky the envelope is still intact.
