I look at SD letters on ebay cause I like to read them. I'm surprised they have value (yes the completed listing say they sell for big $$). Seems a shame to cut a letter to just get the autograph part encapsulated.

I like this one:

That's as close to "F off Jeffery" as you can politely get really isn't it 

I'm going to hide my SD letter in a beat up pence copy of Gorgo. It will be a nice surprise for someone, when I'm gone

that price is idiotic

Maybe Jeffery's skint.

By "Gorgo" I'm guessing you mean the Fantastic Giants 24 ?

Or do you own a copy of the actual Gordo ?

Nay and thrice nay! No pence copies of the FG 24, alas. Lots of pence Gorgo's though. Here's a Ditko one

Would be a great buy for someone named Jeffery, but than again not at that price

I once wrote to him and received a nice reply telling me he did not do autographs and signed it S.D however he did write his full name on the return envelope so I have that plus the note.

What an idea.  Perhaps I'll buy the "No answer for your questions" SD letter and hide it inside my copy of Mysterious Suspense... featuring...The Question.

I wonder if CGC will encapsulate a Ditko letter attached to a back of a comic book for all to see inside a case?

I've seen worse. This reminds me of the time the owner to the original splash page "When The Jungle Sleeps" from Journey into Mystery #83, tore out the corner with the byline "Stan Lee + Steve Ditko" and sold it to another collector, and afterwards the rest of the page was sold at another auction.  I'm not convinced any of it has a real signature from Ditko, which makes this butchering more senseless and shameful. So long, historical artifact from a Silver Age key.

That letter sounds like he took a Magic 8-Ball and wrote the answer from it down and mailed it.

[GomerPyleUSMC]

The letter writer must have caught Steve Ditko on a bad day.

When I corresponded with Steve, he can be playful at times and reply: "I have no way to go back in time." or the philosophical: "I am always thinking in the now and not back then."

But that curt letter with "No answer for your questions." ...that sounds too much like Soup Nazi.

I wrote him and told him about my friend in jail.
