Frank WakefieldI've seen white border tobacco cards with the name and city written or printed at the top, usually on cards where the cut was such that the normal caption at the bottom was either missing or partially missing.
When I first looked at this card, that is what I thought. But most of the caption is visible. Still, the writing is on the card the same way those miss-cut cards were marked.
The card is slightly miss-cut, so I think it isn't autographed, but someone has attempted to clearly identify the card.
Who would autograph a card by signing only their last name (did that artist formerly known as 'Prince' have baseball cards? Or Houdini??) , but would sign the town where they played?
I don't know, but I'm thinking that isn't an autograph. And maybe the seller is just hoping it is, instead of actually scamming.
