Interesting that even back then, Rube Waddell was the most expensive autograph of those stars. Wonder what the chance was that it was real. In his book, Ron Keurajian talked about writing several years ago that there were no known legit Waddell autographs. Keurajian then tracked down Waddell's divorce document in a St. Louis clerk's office. To Keurajian's shock, the document contained a Waddell signature.

Keurajian then wrote that he could find just one other example of all the supposed Waddell autographs sold over the past 50 years that matched the signature on the divorce papers.
