Large collection of 109 signed index cards featuring the signatures of non-Hall of Fame baseball players, including four umpires and one duplicate (Heinie Groh). All but two are single-signed. These cards are part of a much larger signature collection compiled by our consignor's father in the late 1940s ("The New England Autograph Collection"). All the items from the collection are featured in thirty-one separate lots in this auction, including many prominent Hall of Famer autographs. The signatures, penned in a variety of inks (a few in pencil), are all boldly scripted and average 8/10. The majority of signatures appear on the lined side of the card and the cards are in Excellent to Mint condition overall. The index cards signed by Dom DiMaggio and Vince DiMaggio have each been encapsulated by PSA, with the signatures certified as "Authentic."
