Do you have one more piece for us? (This is probably off topic, but from the same book - Connie Mack, Christy Mathewson, and probably more baseball players associated with the early pro football days - those would be some collectables to surprise some people...)

Not as old as the other stuff but also picked up this 1906 postcard of 3x AA Walter Eckersall. He played for Amos Alonzo Stagg at U of Chicago and won the 1905 National Championship. Eckersall also dabbled a bit in pro football.
Also picked up this Eckersall. These 1939 Gridiron Greats ink blotters are a BEAR to find in any condition.
