Up to $500 finders fee!
 

Posted By: <b>Mark Bomia</b><p>I have been collecting 19th century college football autographs for over 20 years. Unfortunately, it is a hobby that not too many collectors are interested in. So to provide a little interest (and fun), I am offering a $250 finders fee for EACH of the following autographs I need for my collection (and $500 for one specific player). My only requirement is that I must acquire an authentic original autograph, on any medium, in order to claim the fee. Obviously this fee would be paid on top off whatever I end up paying for the piece. Also, I'm only offering one fee per player (first come, first served). So here is the list:<br><br>1. Frank Hinkey (1871-1925)- played end for Yale 1891-94, All-American for all four years. Coached the Yale football team from 1914-15. Helped coach the Dayton Triangles. Died from tuberculosis in 1925. Member of the inaugural Hall of Fame class. I will pay a $500 finders fee for his signature!<br><br>2. Marshall Newell (1871-1897)- played tackle for Harvard from 1890-93. Killed by a train.<br><br>3. Philip King (1872-1938) - played QB for Princeton from 1890-93. Later coached the Wisconsin football team from 1896-1902.<br><br>4. Francis Gordon Brown (1879-1911) - Played guard for Yale from 1897-1900. Died from a rare kidney disease.<br><br>5. John Heisman (1869-1936) - infamous coach which the greatest college football award was posthumously named after.<br><br>6. George Gipp (1895-1920) - Notre Dame legend. The only non 19th century autograph I'm looking for. But there is another requirement for him. The signature must contain his full name.<br><br>That's it. Hope to hear from someone. Also, if others are willing to offer finders fee for certain autographs, please continue the thread.<br><br>Very Respectfully,<br><br>Dr. Mark Bomia<br>vintageuofm@yahoo.com<br><br>
