Okay, so they're not part of my personal collection (at least not yet!), but in response to my repeated requests for
any and all scans, I have finally started to get some truly great examples, including a signed T206 card of Cy Young.
Since these new T206 autographed cards are not mine, they are shown in the T206 Wantlist category.
Enjoy! And thanks to a very generous private collector for his permission to share these cards with the collecting
public.
In 2001, Mastro auctions listed the following lot of 32 signed pre-war cards:
This is a phenomenal lot of some great early turn-of-the-century stars and famous Hall of Famers - some in quantity!!
They include: Tris Speaker, Wahoo Sam Crawford (2 different), Ed Walsh, Zack Wheat (3 - one T-206, 2- T205), Fred Clarke,
Elmer Flick, George Sisler, Rube Marquard (5), Heinie Zimmerman, Donnie Bush, Barbsau, George McBride, Hans Lobert(2), Fred
Snodgrass, Chief Meyers, Russell Blackburne(2), Jack Warhop(pitched Babe Ruth's 1st homer!), Fred Parent, Gavvy Cravath(home
run king!), Bill Carrigan, Geo. Wiltse, Hoblitzell, Larry Doyle. All signed in bold pen. Cards are basically VG. The greatest
array of early signed baseball cards we have seen! Signatures are overall near mint with a couple of lighter ones.
Unfortunately, I have not seen even a scan of a signed Zimmerman, Bush, Lobert, Blackburne, Cravath or Wiltse.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of any of these cards PLEASE let me know. And, as always, I am interested
in acquiring any autographed pre-war cards you may be interested in parting with.
