For sale are three supremely hard to find signed photos of players who were featured in the T206 set. They are as follows:
Frank "Shag" Shaughnessy
Shag was featured in the very popular Southern League subset of the T206 set. Upon his retirement as an active player, he eventually became an important figure in the sports world as President of the International League. He lived until the age of 86, passing away in 1969. His signature on a 3x5 or a cut is not hard to find. However, his signature on a photo is another matter. His signature on an 8x10 is even more scarce. This photo has a matte finish and is very sturdy, far moreso than a standard 8x10. This studio portrait was likely taken some time in the 1920's or early 1930's. It is signed at the bottom in beautiful vintage fountain pen. The photo, condition-wise, is absolutely flawless in every way possible. not a single issue anywhere to be found. Dare I say, it is mint.

Dode Paskert
Paskert was an above average outfielder for the Phillies, Reds and Cubs from 1907-1921. He is pictured with the Cincinnati Reds in the T206 set. He was a fast runner and above average outfielder who also managed to have a career OPS+ of 108 over nearly 7000 career plate appearances. Items signed by Paskert are especially tough to find, even on a 3x5 or GPC. This is the first signed photo of him that I have even encountered. This is a 4x6 Burke and Brace photo and has been signed by Paskert along the left side. Very bold signature as well. Condition is exquisite. Paskert passed away at age 77 in 1959.

Neal Ball
Ball was a member of the New York Highlanders (Yankees) when he was included in the T206 set. In 1909 he became the first player in major league history to complete an unassisted triple play. He laster was a member of the 1912 World Series champion Boston Red Sox. Offered here is an 4x6 George Burke photo signed beautifully across the front by Ball in vintage fountain pen. Ball passed away at the age of 76 in 1957 and his autograph is not an easy one to find, even on a 3x5 or GPC. Signed photos of him, however, are just about nonexistent. Condition is exquisite.
