Definitely a piece of hobby history. I like how the recipient of the Lajoie card was almost made to feel like Goudey was doing them a big favor in sending them a card, making "one exception to the rule" at "considerable expense".

Good stuff!

Super cool, but I agree…it’s a pretty dick-ish tone.

Default No Apology
Hahaha no "apology" here just more of the coverup! Great letter! Reminds me of when an athlete gets caught doing something really bad how they always begin their "explanation" by saying... "thats not me...." Okay then who was it ???? Truth is..... "OKay thats me but I didnt want you to find out I was like that...and I cant even admit it to myself!"

Default Compliments and best wishes!
Please accept this card, and only this card, and please refrain from any further requests for any other cards, but please do enjoy this one card that we purposefully withheld from circulation so all the boys and girls would buy more of our product, “with our compliments and best wishes.”

Quite the apology!
