Large vintage baseball-signature collection, consisting of 48 individual pieces, featuring the signatures of thirteen Hall of Famers and many stars. The vast majority of the signatures are in the form of cuts, but also included are government postcards, index cards (or similar sized sheets), brief notes, and even a 1950s Braves team-signed sheet and a partial 1950s Yankees team-signed sheet. With few exceptions, the signatures, penned in a variety of inks, are boldly scripted and average 8/10. Excellent condition overall. The number of signature examples for each individual listed, if more than one, is noted in parentheses. 

The players represented in this collection are as follows: Tris Speaker, Will Harridge, Ford Frick, Joe Cronin, Bill Terry, Charlie Gehringer, Carl Hubbell, Red Ruffing, Monte Irvin, Mark Koenig, Mrs. Lou Gehrig, Johnny Murphy, Bob Meusel (2), Billy Martin, Mel Allen, Joe Dugan, Bennie Bengough (2), Fred Fitzsimmons, Roger Peckinpaugh, Muddy Ruel, Bing Miller, Harvey Kuenn, Dutch Leonard, Saul Rogovin, Graig Nettles, George Selkirk, Terry Moore, Babe Herman, Hank Sauer, Frank Crosetti, Red Rolfe, Stan Hack, Tommy Byrne, Virgil Stallcup, Foster Castleman, Jimmy Brown (2), Sandy Consuegra, El Tappe, Gene Woodling, Jake Crawford, George Crowe, and Bob Elliott. 1950s Yankees Partial Team Sheet: Berra, Shea, Mize, Crosetti, McDougald, Martin, and Reynolds. 1950 Boston Braves Team Sheet: Spahn, Southworth (Mgr.), Elliott, Kerr, Cooney (coach), Brown (coach), Gordon, Sisti, Marshall, Antonelli, Walters, Cooper, Olmo, Mauch, Bickford, Sain, Hogue, Burris, and Hall.
