Smoky Joe Wood Autographed Cards
Joe Wood lived until 1985, to the ripe old age of 95. Given his popularity -- and the breadth of Joe Wood autographs items in the hobby -- I find it surprising that the only signed pre-war card of Wood's I have ever seen is a clean M116 signed in what appears to be blue sharpie. (It is not mine, but you can see it on my website if you are so inclined to look.)
According to VintageCardPrices.com, Wood appeared on a number of popular sets in the second decade of the 20th Century, including: M116 Sporting Life T202 Hassan Triple Folders T207 Brown Backgrounds WG4 Polo Grounds Game WG5 National Game WG6 Tom Barker Game 1914 & 15 Cracker Jack E224 Texas Tommy M101-4 M101-5 D328 & D329 Weil Baking Co. D350 Standard Biscuit D381 Fleischmann Bakery H801 E135 Collins-McCarthy Anyone ever seen any of these signed by Smoky Joe Wood?

I've long felt the same way about autographed baseballs. Seems strange to me that they don't show up with more regularity. I think I've only seen one Joe Wood autographed baseball in person.

Back in the 1980s, there was a family member (nephew maybe?) that would set up at some card shows around the Boston area, selling Wood autographed checks and other items.
If my memory serves me right, he had a hard time selling autographs for $5 a pop. Oh, to turn back the clock....

I'm pretty sure that was his son. From what I hear, he still sets up in Brimfield. Though, I'm pretty sure he sells antiques that are not sports related. I could be wrong on that.
A 3x5 can still be had for around $10. I picked one up on ebay not too long ago. In fact, they're all over the place. I wish it was the same way with baseballs.

An old friend of mine was writing a book and interviewed Mr Wood. He was kind enough to gift my dad a side panel signed ball and a photocopied photo, also signed. I sent it to an auction house along with a load of other items, and their consignment director never put it in the auction. He told me he was unsure of the authenticity and would have to show it to the authenticator who services the auction, even though I know EXACTLY where it came from. Would anyone be kind enough to estimate the value forme? Thanks in advance.

Seemed Joe Wood signed everything else but pre-war baseball cards. Had himself a little cottage industry of affixing his seven letters to tickets, balls, and whatever. Nice work if you can get it.
For the record I had the autographed M116 reholdered by SGC a few years back.  The Red Sox prevailed over the Giants 4-3. Wood gave up 8 hits and struck out 11. It was after this game that he was reported to have said, "I threw so hard I thought my arm would fly right off my body."   This came from the bunch of Dr Steen autographed Sporting News supplements that were auctioned off a few years ago. Nice to have something not signed with a Sharpie.  This is a Lee MacPhaill AL ball which dates it to 1973-1983. A ball signed by Wood in 1912, if such a thing exists, would be my ultimate hobby dream item.

I got Wood
I just picked up this 1912 WS Type 1 photo of Wood taken by legendary lensman G.G.Bain. Also below, is another 1912 WS snapshot along with an early type 1 photo by, the master, Charles Conlon. I lost out on a beautiful Horner in Christies so pleased to add this one.
*and.... i just realized this was to show autographed cards. Ooops.. not deleting all of this. Ha! Great cards guys!  2 others in my collection noted above.
