A colossal collection of over 3,400 signed 3x5 index cards (with few government postcards) dates back to the early 1900's. There are Hall of Famers, World Series Champions, early Yankees and Giants plus more, with very rare and obscure players. Highlights include: Charles Robertson, Dolly Stark, Bobby Veach, Hugh Casey, Greasey Neale, Moe Berg, Ping Bodie, Jack Fournier, Jimmy Archer, Wally Pipp, Eddie Dyer, Duke Maas, Pancho Snyder, Hank DeBerry, Frank Demaree, Jake Flowers, Wally Schang, Bill Cunningham, Heine Zimmerman, Bubbles Hargrave, Paul Derringer, Arthur Devlin, Vince DiMaggio, Howard Ehmke, Arlie Latham, Harry Agganis, Jesse Barnes, Benny Bengough, Bullet Joe Bush, Gabby Street, Rip Radcliff, Napoleon Reyes, Dutch Ruether, Tony Conigliaro, Gil Hodges, Curt Davis, Bob Meusel, Oscar Melillo, Johnny Allen, Jim Bagby Jr. Jack Barry, Lena Blackburne, Tom Bridges, Bump Hadley, Tom Zachary, Dizzy Trout, Joe Vance, James Vaughn, Jimmy Wilson, Sam P.

Jackson, Durocher, Fox, Doby, Ryan, Puckett, Faber, Musial, Hoyt, Berra, Marquard, Gomez, Bell, Banks, Giles, Drysdale and more. Almost all have cut out photos affixed to the fronts and/or backs and a there is a fair balance of pre-1950's and 1950's-current. With a collection this large, chances are there will be 5-10% secretarial.
