Brockelman Auctions Item...any evidence?
 

Like a lot of collectors, I like cards/players with stories attached to them... Schaefer stealing first base, the black sox gang, etc.

Just came across this card in Brockelman Auctions and was wondering if there is any evidence that this guy's real name was John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?Because if it was, his name is my name too.

Based on the research I did on Ancestry, that is her nephew.....and that was his name. I am attaching a copy of his WWI draft registration card that he signed, note the Jacob is nearly identical to the postcard as well.


The aunt is Josephine Schmid Bachman who died in 1939 in Oneida county, New York, she was his father's sister...

Sweet.

That's a pretty nice signature as well
