I believe this autograph album book might be signed by Ted Williams during his rookie season in 1939. Not to familiar with his early signature, but it's on a piece of paper that looks to have the roster of the 1939 A's on it. I was looking to sell or trade this but wanted to make sure it was authentic before doing so.

Here are several authenticated exemplars from 1939-1940, 1 from 1943 that I used to buy my recent vintage teddy ballgame purchase...

Hope this helps!

Thank you for posting those David. Very helpful. Looks similar to those and leaning on it as a rookie signature. As much as I love this, trying to focus my collection and know someone might enjoy this more.
