"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Ty Cobb autograph letter signed with content on the 1960 Hall of Fame induction ceremonies at Cooperstown, which was ultimately cancelled as there was no player to induct that year; this was the last of only three times that no player was inducted. Dated 18 June 1960, Cobb writes to his future personal assistant Marie Quinn: ''…If I go to Cooperstown for June 27, I feel I should not per my pain…if they [his doctors] consent, then I will make trip to Cooperstown, for I have received letters from Hall of Fame people insisting, for to date only three Hall of Famers have stated they would go - this year will be a bust for they have no player to induct due to a phoney rule that I have been crusading in my way to have amended they did not so no elected player Etc. don't want them to feel if I do not go they might think I am piqued Etc. which decidedly would not be the case, I have fully explained to them my physical condition, so I might not go, up to doctors in Atlanta if I do go…Ty''. Written on front sides of eight sheets of Cobb's personal stationery measuring 6'' x 7''. Also with original mailing envelope. Overall in very good to near fine condition.
