I have been reading a book on the HOF and they, (and I concur from auction catalogs Ive seen) feel Waddell, and Plank are amongst the rarest.
Of course, Joe Jackson too, (not wife signed)
Opinions guys and gals?

I just ran into Joe Jackson and his wife at Best Buy in Porter Ranch, CA not too long ago.
Sorry, wrong Joe Jackson. You must be talking about the Shoeless Joe and I'm talking about eye brow penciled mustached Joe, Michael 's Dad.
What about Roy Campanella. I used to see him on the old Club level at Dodger Stadium back in the 80's where he had a special spot for his wheelchair situated next to a single seat for his wife, Roxie I think right behind home plate? I never thought to ask for his Autograpgh, though my friend swears he has one from when I took him.
I must have run into him 100 times. I have one he did for scoreboard, signinging the front panel only while laying flat, and having the autograpgh stitched back on to the ball (They did this backwards though and the Rawlings logo is on the top, not on the right where it supposed to be.)
I also sat right next to Casey Stengel back in 1972 or 1973 at Dodger Stadium. He wrote "Casey Stengel from Casey Stengel" on the front of my program and "Casey Stengel To Chuck, Good Luck from Casey Stengel on the back". The old guy was losing it and he just was watching the game and scribbling on my program the whole time. It was with all my old signed Dodger Programs for years burried in a manilla envelope and boxed with a ton of other junk. That particular program was stolen and I'm not sure when or how? If anyone see's it out there, let me know
