Autographed Pre-War Cards Show & Tell

[T206Collector]

Picked up another Marquard today. Seems like a good opportunity to have another autographed pre-war card show & tell. I don't care if you've shown them a million times, I wanna see them again.

Here's my collection of signed T206 Marquards. Sometimes people will ask me how rare these really are, and I say, "Well, if I've got 8 of them, how rare can they really be? How many more must be out there?" Heck, I've owned maybe a half dozen other signed T206 Marquards that aren't even among this 8!

Anyway, show 'em if ya got 'em....

I know these aren't for sale, but if you ever decide to part with one of them, let me know.

marquard must be the prewar equivalent of bob feller

Very nice Paul!

Paul -- Very VERY cool collection of Marquards. It's interesting to see the variations among a set of autographs from the same player.

I can't help but wonder if it's possible to complete an autographed back run...

Regards,

Richard.

The EPDG is certainly a rare one. I think I've seen a Hindu.

Some of these are probably not pre-war (some are during the war and after the war!), but I will still share them. I don't have too many scanned. Maybe a nice winter project someday.

I'll start with one I just sent to Mr. Doerr recently. Got it back within a week!

I have 8 different autographed T-206's which I will post sometime but believe they are duplicates to what you already have.

I loved T206's without auto's, but with them they are unbelievable. So neat to get an autograph from someone 100 years ago. Crazy.

something special about a t206 card signed, and am happy that i even own one. just the moust sought after set of all-time, and to have a card signed, it's priceless (well to me at least because i'm never going to part with it). they are all a thing of beauty and truly a one of a kind. no matter if you have 20 different signed by marquard or doyle, each is different in their own respect, each has their own story

[milkit1]

thanks. I have 176 different signed 33 s and over 300 total signed 33 s. mark is working on a signed 34 set and paul is doing the t206s. I was lucky to be one of the first to collect the signed 33 s and got a lot of them signed myself. they are getting out of hand these days so I acquire very few now. got my second hartnett and maranville on the way but hVnt gotten any others in over a year. I may be able to get to 185 but I doubt much more. my doubles I gave to my son and he now has about 90 different which is pretty good for a five year old

[HOF Auto Rookies]

milkit that's awesome. yea paul have the market cornered it seems for t206's, i love looking at his site. i don't have too many, like around 20 at the most, just going for hof'ers and just the comorosky. would love a pie traynor and arky vaughan. i mainly have the more common signed hof'ers minus rice, and cochrane. my dickey is graded a 5, so finally have one in good condition :P. i picked up a comorosky at a very reasonable price, especially for how scarce they are. only seen yours as the other one, and a 34 goudey.

if you're willing to do any trades, please let me know. some you have would be very hard to pick up in years to come, but i have patience lol. that's awesome! your son has a better collection than me :P lol

I'm glad you enjoy it. I don't spend nearly enough time updating it or adding stuff to it any more. Things are too hectic, who has the time!?

I got lucky about 7 years ago when a couple of Marquards showed up on ebay and my wife thought they were cooler signed, so I picked them up on the cheap. Thus, began a great love affair with signed T206s. When a bunch sprouted up on ebay in 2007, I was all over them. And my website and Net54 do a pretty decent job of bringing in a new one every 6 months or so...

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Wish I would have been old enough to realize how great those cards were lol. Yea, I haven't picked up one in about 3 years, which I'm highly sad about because I don't see them on eBay anymore, and don't want to start overpaying on REA or auction houses quite yet lol

HOF Auto Rookies,
Sean mentioned my 1934 Goudey set in progress. I've posted them before, but here are a few of my favorites.

I know it's not pre-war, but close enough.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

yea, i got my comorosky at a very reasonable price, and i'm not complaining about it...super excited i have the cochrane, just need that darn arky vaughan and pie traynor...have the vaughan 1940 playball, but would like to get rid of it for the goudey...

nice feller, that's a valuable set. i have the highest graded bob feller cards signed in existence, psa 5,6,7 and 8. cracked them out of the case, drove from minny to iowa to get them signed in person, then shipped to psa! then he passed away less than a year after that, well worth the trip and his stories

Just picked up this McBride from another Board member. Looking forward to it!

[T206Collector]

Nice McBride! When you're collecting signed T206s, condition doesn't even enter into the equation. They're so rare, you take them as you find them!

[HOF Auto Rookies]

true, loved signed T206's. wish i had more than one lol
