Welcome to the board. To continue what Rhys said, Harry Wright is among the easier 19th century autographs to obtain because of the find of personal scorebooks that were brought into the hobby around 1990. Unfortunately, some of them have been destroyed and the pages are being sold individually. I put a very low value on these pages because the signatures are in small pencil and they are not being offered as they originally appeared (for full disclosure I once owned the 1883 Wright scorebook that was torn apart). I would encourage you to purchase a nice signed letter (there are a fair number of those in the hobby) but would discourage anyone from buying a single torn scorepage (and as you can tell I am angry that book was destroyed. I owned it for quite a few years and it was one of my favorite pieces).
