Look at the beautiful script handwriting on this letter and compare it to the so-called scribbles called autographs on modern basketball cards. What a difference 125 years makes.

It sure does make a difference. Some of the pieces in the box are amazing. I can't post them here since they do not relate to Base Ball. I want to be sure I follow the rules of this board. I'm grateful to be able to share what's in the box.

Glad you like it. It's definitely more tan I though. This is also just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other pieces of paper that fall into other categories. I also have bags of things I still need to go through but I believe most of the BB items have been uncovered I think.
