Also includes unsigned Tony Lazzeri and Ernie Lombardi cachets. 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.
