1930's Debut Year Baseball Autographs, MOST RARE
I get asked this quite a bit, Who are the ALL TIME toughest baseball players autographs ? Based on the want lists I've gotten over the years, I covered the 1940's and 50's toughies in a previous thread on this board. Now for the 1930's. ALL would likely sell for more than most Hall of Fame players from the same era even though almost all of them were barely in the major leagues long enough for a "cup of coffee" The numbers next to the name are based on my research and conversations with long time collectors with regards to ANY examples of the players mentioned existing in private collections. Have listed by debut year
