I'm pretty sure none of it is good. Just looking at the "baseball shirts", they have tags that couldn't possibly exist in 1910.

I was at the estate auction where these were bought. There was no mention made of these items belonging to Joe Wood. All the stuff came from Bob Woods estate and belonged to him. There were many books inscribed to him with notations mentioning his dad, but that was it.

The nicest item there was a 1901 Kansas football game ball that belonged to Joe Wood's father. A wood relative was there and bought the ball.

Hmmmm, the one Smokey Joe Wood shirt by Haynes that's reinforced with Nylon...Nylon wasn't patented until 1935 and didn't hit the markets till 1939. Didn't Joe end his career in 1920?

ok, well reading a bit more it looks like the guy says it's from the 40's when he was a coach at Yale, which is quite a bit different than the title of "early game used" etc.

The only stuff that was there that belonged to Joe at one time was an SABR plaque(pulled before the auction), the football and an Eddie Germano print that I purchased.
