The letter dated "Dec-3-1934" at the top is handwritten by Cobb in beautiful penmanship. It comes in black ink on his personal 7 1/8" by 10 3/8" letterhead with a stamped header "TYRUS R. COBB - BOX 265 - MENLO PARK - CALIFORNIA." Cobb has signed his full name at the bottom in 8-9/10 boldness. The letter reads:
"Mr. J.S. Wickwire - Jackson Mich. - Dear Mr. Wickwire: - Your letter dated June-28-1933 and directed to Atlanta Ga was forwarded to Augusta Ga my former house then out here where evidently it was received shortly after and recently in going over some old papers I found your letter and now answering though there has been a considerable delay but how it got misplaced I can't explain. If you still desire my signature on one of the three balls you have and there is room I will be delighted to add my signature and feel honored in so doing. My present address is as above and will attend to matter promptly upon receipt of the ball and return same. Yours sincerely Ty Cobb."
Includes a detailed Letter of Provenance from John Wickwire grandson of J.S. Wickwire who wrote to Ty Cobb in 1933 and originally received the letters and baseballs. A copy of the other Cobb handwritten letter (Lot 32) will also be included.
Full LOA from PSA.
