Question related to this: When did autograph collecting on cards really start to become popular? You can find the 1933 Goudeys, but I'm wondering how many of those were signed back in the day as opposed to acquired later when cards started taking off. Several of those players were still alive in the 1990s and 2000s.

I'd be interested in knowing when collecting autographs on cards really became a thing. Obviously, signed T-206s are pretty rare. My guess is that it wasn't until a candy/gum issue since those were really geared toward kids.
