I think it's great that you collect autographed T206's - I wish I had thought of it many years ago when they could be found. Are you saving the extras for trade-bait?

The cards were sent by collectors, usually one at a time. The only "cards" the old players handed out were coupons for The Glory of Their Times, and sometimes small black and white photos. Late in his life Snodgrass wrote that he averaged about three thru the mail auto requests per week.
I dont really consider my dupes to be extras -- each one is unique! However, if I have dupes of a signed pose, I do consider trade offers of all kinds. Whenever possible, I try to trade for signed T206s I dont already have.
