I had the opportunity to catalog and consult on this unique and extensive collection. Over 3,000 mostly in person period autographs of players in their early and prime years. All the stars, commons and impossible to find baseball and football players. Many partial sets in this collection too. The article below is a must read. It really takes you back in time when an autograph was simple moment of appreciation between a fan and athlete. I've attached a few scans and the article has more to view.
