The players used to send signed copies of yellow TGOTT informational cards to those requesting autographs. You can find those on eBay fairly often.

And there are letters between the players and Larry Ritter in the hobby, as well as royalty checks endorsed by the players. It’s a fun little niche, which crosses over into my T206 player autograph pursuits.
