As for the hazed cards (good term), I thought that it was the result of something some collector put on the cards. I recall soaking one with concern, not knowing if I'd make it worse or what. My recollection is that soaking did not affect it. It seemed that the glossy finish on the surface of these cards has been changed, somehow. I suspect a solvent... I guess it could have been a faulty finish at the printer's, one that wasn't too bad when it happened, but has worsened with time.
I have a Stengel autograph in a 1940's scorecard/book. And I have a few 3x5's autographed by players who were in T210. I think I posted the Hub Perdue autograph some time ago, I don't know if I've ever showed the others. I'll dig around in a few days and see if I can unearth any of them.
