Default honus wagner autograph help

Posted By: RobertS

His autograph changed a few times -- notably the name with which he signed (John; J. Honus, H., even Hans), as well as the style of certain letters (sometimes his 'W' connected to the 'a', sometimes it didn't; the style of his 'e' changed, etc.).

His pre-1920 ones had the most flourishes (I'll try to locate examples).

Here are a few examples from 1919-1955 taken from all over the Web:

1919:


1920:




1925:


Unknown Year:



1936:


1939:


1955 (this last one realized $14,000 with all the documentation):
