Default Vintage Autograph Book w/41 Signatures inc TED WILLIAMS/DIZZY DEAN/BANKS/FRICK $350

Autograph book likely from the early 1960s containing 41 autographs, mostly Boston Red Sox related. All of the autographs are on individual pages except where noted. There are FIVE Hall of Famers included and some moderately tough deceased non-HOFers here. These were all likely obtained in person.

The Williams is a beautiful vintage signature. The Dean and Frick are back to back and the page can easily be cut in half if you want individual signatures. Likewise for Sheehan/Nagle. The Banks and Colavito are back to back and very close but can be separated with some careful cutting if desired. The Hemus/O'Neill/Hillman are on one side of one page, as are Jones and Fischer. Jensen and Massey cannot be separated without damaging one or the other. The Carl Yastrzemski doesn't look like it could remotely be the Red Sox left fielder, I'm guessing that it might be his father. On the Torre it appears the pen ran out of ink after "Jo" but the indentation of the entire signature is visible.

Here is the list of signatures from front to back.

Bobby Thomson
Don Buddin
Ron Jackson
Ed Sadowski
Haywood Sullivan
Don Gile
Jim Pagliaroni
Tom Brewer
Ike Delock
Rudy York
Earl Wilson
Bill Monbouquette
Tom Sturdivant
Sal Maglie
Frank Sullivan
Carl Yastrzemski Sr?
Pete Runnels
Rocky Colavito/ERNIE BANKS
Jackie Jensen/Darrell Massey
Darrell Massey
Bob Hoffman
DIZZY DEAN / BOB FELLER
Solly Hemus/Steve O'Neill/Darnell Hillman
Wilbur Wood
Ted Wills
Tracy Stallard
Mike Higgins (Pinky)
Paul Fannin
Pumpsie Green
TED WILLIAMS
FORD FRICK
Walter Nagle/Tom Sheehan
Charlie Grimm
Mack Jones/Hank Fischer
Joe Torre (ink ran out)

Some of the signatures in the early part of the book have the players number written underneath by the person (probably a youngster from the handwriting) who obtained them. They key HOF signatures are not affected in this way.

Price is $350 shipped, PayPal Friends/Family or Check/Mo payment only. If I get no takers I might consider breaking it up.

All autographs are guaranteed to pass any reputable third-party authentication (except the Yastrzemski) or I will grant a full refund.
