This lot offers a tremendously deep collection of 103 vintage cut signatures comprising mostly of 1920’s to 1940’s era ballplayers, 14 of whom are enshrined in Cooperstown. All come on tan/beige-colored, thick cardboard backings that have preserved the autographs and paper quite well. Most are grouped in bunches on variously shaped cardboard slab pieces, with some of the better names on their own individual pieces.
Hall of Famers include Jimmie Foxx, (2) Rogers Hornsby, Paul Waner, Tony Lazzeri, Arky Vaughan, Connie Mack, Ford C. Frick, Joe McCarthy, (2) Lefty Grove, Lefty Gomez, Ernie Lombardi, Red Ruffing, Joe Cronin, and (2) Gabby Harnett.
