Think if the writer writing could know that this his hand letter will be worth over $126,000 😁

I think that if you were to tell him that at the time he would laugh in your'e face.

That's right if I got a time machine, btw I could stop the Titanic from making a big history 😂

Think everything would change 😃

I get that it's a part of history and all.... but $126,000 for an old letter, I mean really a $126,000 ?

ya...may be. It's an international desk information.
