"It's been a long time as letter carried a date of June 12th 1939 and many things can happen but I always try and answer every request and so this letter to you. I am sorry this letter was misplaced. I am, Sincerely, Ty Cobb."

Customary folds are present and Cobb's cursive appears in bold steel-tip fountain pen ink. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
