Default 1910's era Minor League Auto Cards.

No sadly none to report. Which has me wondering why there are not any of these cards around. Specifically T206,T209,T210 cards. One would think with the abundance of these cards around at the time in the local clubs area there would be a few cards signed. I know alot of these players came and left quickly in some instances but some players were around on the same team for awhile. Dutch Revelle for example spent 4+ years in Richmond home to big tobacco. Im sure local fans had his card. Was it taboo to ask for players autographs at the time?

In my head I picture minor league games of my youth all the way up to todays experience at a ML park. The players are always willing to sign. Maybe it just wasnt the same back then seeing as the players were known to be a tougher, rowdy bunch. Maybe not as fan friendly.

640 T210, 220+ T209. Anyone ever seen one autographed?
