Alex F Pearson, Sig.? 1902 St Loius Cards & 1903 Cleveland Naps

Looking for help.

Can anyone verify this signature of Alexander Franklin Pearson? He pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1902 and the Cleveland Naps in 1903. I would Imagine his signature is fairly common since he died in 1966? Any clue of value if it is real?

The signature actually looks better in hand. My darn scanner tries to make everything Brite-White....

Thank you,
Shawn

. . . but that certainly does not guarantee his signature is common or easily found. I have several holes in my collection of ballplayers who died in the 1960's, including one as recently as 1978. D**n if I can find an example. And it seems the more obscure the ballplayer, the more difficult locating the autograph.

With luck, someone out there has an exemplar for your use.

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for your response. It would be neat if someone showed up with another example to compare. The town on the check does match up with where Pearson resided. (which helps a little)

Good luck with your 1978 hunt!
