Signed T201 Mecca Double Folder

Signed T201 Mecca Double Folder

Published in 1911, T201 Mecca Double Folders measure 2-3/16" x 4-3/4" and may be folded over to create an image of a second player sharing the first player's feet, with a snapshot of both players' statistics reflected on the reverse. As such, though there are just 50 different T201 cards available, there are actually 100 players featured in the set.

I was never a big fan of the T201 set before I acquired my first one, which was of Zack Wheat, autographed by Wheat himself. I have found that the signature on these cards interacts well with the images and colors found on T201 cards and makes me appreciate the set much more than I had before. While a signed T205 card only moderately improves is visual appeal, which is low in my opinion, a signed T201 card is a true work of art.

"Laughing" Larry Doyle and John "Chief" Meyers double signed this double-folding double folder. Single signed pre-war cards are so rare -- how many double signed cards even exist?

Albert Peter Leifield was known on the field as "Lefty" and signed his name A.P. Leifield on this T201 card.

T201 signed by Hall of Fame Dodger Zack Wheat.

I have had two signed T201 Ruckers in my collection. I traded the first to get my signed T206 Rucker Portrait card. It is debatable whether I would have made that trade had I not already secured a second T201 Rucker, but fortunately I did not have to make that decision!
