Elmer Gedeon Cut Autograph: Died World War II
Hello everyone,
I normally only collect cards but recently purchased a scrapbook signed in the Washington DC area in 1939. I was looking up the death dates for each of the players and was interested to find one of Elmer Gedeon who died in 1944. He was the first majort leaguer killed in action in World War II and the only to die in the European theater. Gedeon had 15 at bats for the Senators in 1939 and none after that. I would think there are not too many of these out there. It's a large signature in pencil. Any idea if this is an autograph that has any sort of demand at all?
