What's interesting is that there is no autograph history with this seller. I know that's a red flag but everything looks legit as you can tell from the other pic with the original envelope and such.

With that said, I'm looking forward to hearing what the history of the piece is because it had to be a unique find for them as well. Kinda like the Brando I had picked up that was in that family's possession for about 60 years.

They offer money back in 14 days for me to inspect it, however I don't think there will be a problem here.

I'll message you the ebay link so you can see the individual selling. I might be wrong here, but I can't see any real autograph history with this seller.

Here is the background on this letter:
I met the woman and her husband at a moving sale they were having. They were getting ready to move out west. I bought some misc antique stuff and the autograph book with baseball players that I have listed now. On talking to them about anything else they had and going through my normal list of stuff she mentioned the letter. She debated and went into the house and brought it back to show me. She said her letter had invited Reeve to their home for dinner while in Michigan and that his letter was in response to hers.
She held it dear but said since they were moving and getting rid of a lot of things that it was time maybe for that to be let go of.
She mentioned a price and that she didint want to really sell it but for that price she would consider it. After buying all the other things from her and her husband she let go of it.
Great content for a little thank you note and I am sure you will be happy with it.
Thanks again

Dustin Pedroia was inducted into the Arizona Fall League Hall of Fame on Wednesday and signed a bunch of autographs. I added him to my 2007 WS ball, 2013 WS photo and a bat. unfortunately the bat didn't come out that great.
