Offered here is an original 1990 Buckingham Palace correspondence addressed to former San Francisco Giants catcher Mike Sadek regarding an autograph request sent to Queen Elizabeth II. Included are the official Buckingham Palace letter on royal letterhead, the original envelope, and the original mailing materials, providing outstanding provenance and a fascinating glimpse into one collector's pursuit of history.
Mike Sadek became well known for assembling an extraordinary collection of autographed baseballs from world leaders, celebrities, and other notable figures outside of baseball. Over the years, his collection grew to include signatures from Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Joe Montana, John Candy, and many others. This letter documents one of the few pursuits that came up empty, as Buckingham Palace politely declined the request on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
While there is no autograph included, the historical significance lies in the correspondence itself. Original Buckingham Palace letters tied to a former Major League Baseball player and a well-documented autograph collection are seldom encountered and make for a unique crossover collectible appealing to baseball, British Royal Family, and historical memorabilia collectors alike.
