Lot #33:

Tris Speaker Signed Letter

It's commonly known by autograph collectors that Hall of Famer Tris Speaker's signature is every bit as harmonious as the sweet swing that netted him over 3,500 career hits and the all-time record for doubles with 792. When Speaker received this letter from Louis Thomas on Hotel Broadway stationery asking for an autograph, he obliged with a virtually perfect black fountain pen ink signature that is the finest we've ever seen. Matted and framed with a black and white photo of "The Grey Eagle" that brings the size to 18" x 14." LOA from JSA.
