Autograph Match Game
Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>The "Card Match Game" thread over on the Pre-War side looked fun, so let's do it here with autographs! Here are the criteria:<br /><br />Match the last signature seen with any of the following:<br /><br />-One of his teammates (even minor league is acceptable)<br />-Somebody who debuted in the same season<br />-Players from the same hometown (no "general vicinity", though!)<br />-A shared nickname<br /><br />I'll get it started, appropriately enough, with Chad Kimsey:<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1225828543.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Percy Jones was Pat Collins' teammate on his last team, the 1929 Braves. Jones won the lottery, then promptly jumped (or fell) out of a window, paralyzing him for the last 50 years of his life. He was unable to sign following the accident, so his autograph is quite a rarity.<br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1225896457.JPG" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>David Atkatz</b><p>Robertson is quite common on 1929 team balls. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing a '29 Yankees ball that <i>wasn't</i> signed by him.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Team balls, yes, but flat items are a different story altogether. His last big league season was 1930, right around the infancy of GPC and 3X5 collecting. I have never seen Robertson on either. There was really no way for fans to write him later on, but I'm sure he would have been a willing signer if somebody had tracked him down.
