Need help identifying some autos. (Scan heavy)
 
If any of these look familiar, please let me know, any help would be greatly appreciated.

To narrow it down, they’re all from the early 50’s and the majority were signed at Griffith stadium. So there a lot of Senators, but also visiting teams from those years.
Detroit, Cleveland, Yankees, Boston, White Sox, St. Louis Browns or Orioles depending on how early they are.

Here is the link to the ones I’ve been able to identify.

The first two look like Dave Williams and Sam White, But I can’t find any info on them. The rest I have no idea.

All but the last one has been identified, thanks!

Wow, thanks, I really appreciate it.

67_Palmer 07-28-2013 09:25 AM

Amazing, this post has only been up for 2 hours and all but the last one has been identified. This place is awesome.

Just curious, I think two of you said this first auto was Killebrew, but I've never seen one like that.
The second one I've seen all over. Is the first one definitely him?

Killebrew was one of the greatest autograph signers in the history of sports. The top one looks like maybe he had his hands full, or signed while someone was holding the 3x5 stack for him but I have no doubt it's good...the guy would sign and sign until everyone who wanted one got one.

Another thing about Killer is when he signed, he actually acted like he enjoyed it. I have no doubt this was sincere. He'd smile, thank people when the complimented him, take pictures, shake hands, whatever. Few professional athletes have been so in touch with the fact that fans pay their salary.

Great info, Thank you

MooseDog 07-30-2013 01:32 PM

FYI, I was guessing on the Carlos Paula, but maybe Stinson can chime in on that one. If it is Paula, it is probably the most valuable of your lot.

I've never had one myself, and from what I understand he's pretty hard to find, apparently an lifetime alcoholic died relatively young at 55.

Kevin Keating (Quality Autographs) is asking $850 for one he has, not that his price resembles an actual "market" price, but if you apply the 20% Keating to Reality conversion it's still up there.

67_Palmer 07-30-2013 04:39 PM

That's good to know. I wish I could compare it to the one at Quality Autographs but the photo quality is poor.

Have you seen it anywhere else so I could compare?

Thanks.
