But I have seen several different style Meyers autographs -- sometimes he signed in script, sometimes not, sometimes he called himself John, sometimes "Chief", sometimes he included his middle initial "T" and sometimes he wrote Chief as his middle name, sometimes with and sometimes without quotes. The man lived a long time and had several different writing styles over the years. Not at all surprising.
I bought this on ebay, many years ago for only $125, because it had writing on the front. Neither the seller, nor I for at least 7-8 yrs, knew what the writing was. I had posted the card on this board referring to the M110 series and that is when it was discovered!! I had previously tried to erase the writing but fortunately it was done with one of those darned pens that won't erase. The glare is from the scan and holder. I really started liking this card after more thought about it, and the fact the ole Chief signed a bit of a personal thought....best regards
