Advanced autograph collectors strike gold, with this collection of (282) index cards, signed by early 20th Century players. These old-time ballplayers are rooted in the "Deadball" era, as their MLB debut seasons date between 1901-1919. All are long gone, and many are tough acquisitions of considerable value. Signature strength averages 8-9, and the cards are generally attractive. Opportunities to score so many ancient autographs in one bundle don't come along very often, so make the best of this one.  A complete listing is available upon request.

Highlights:

1) Paddy Livingston with “11-4-74 “ inscription

2) Joe Wood

3) Amos A. Strunk

4) Fred C. Snodgrass with “ CF NY Giants Boston Browns “

5) Edward Ainsmith

6) “Duffy” Lewis

7) E.H.”Dutch” Zwilling

8) Chester C. Hoff

9) Fred “Cy” Williams with “ Nat’l League 1912-1930 “

10) “Bullet Joe” Bush

11) Bill Wambssganns

12) John “ Jack “ Schulte
