This lot features a collection of 15 MLB ballpark autographed First Day Cover silk cachets including: Vida Blue, Mike Bielecki, Harry Grossman, Tom Lasorda, Andre Dawson, Phil Niekro, Billy Williams, Wade Boggs, Charlie Hough, Tony LaRussa (2), Sandy Alomar (2) and Dick Allen.
These treasures are highly coveted by autograph, stamp and art collectors alike. The "silk" refers to the very delicate material into which the very finest in original art and action photography are printed, bringing to life the whole purpose of the envelope. Once printed, each silk is applied by hand very carefully. In essence, every cachet envelope becomes a hand crafted work of art.
