Charles Comiskey Cut Auto 1/1 BGS 9.5

These never come up for sale...until now. Asking $2250 or best offer. Almost impossible to find and a beautiful autograph signed his full name! (He often simply signed it: "Chas")

You realize that this autograph is from the Hall of Famers grandson, Charles A Comiskey II,-right? and that he commonly signed Charles?

Hence, the signature is in ballpoint pen-which was invented 7 years after the Hall of Fame owner passed.

The Ball point pen was invented in 1888. He died in 1931. I scanned the back of the card. Why do you think this is an auto of the son/grandson and not the owner as the card depicts? It says he helped form the American Leauge.

Fine, I should have said patented instead of invented. Regardless, it wasn't in commercial use when Charles Comiskey, the HOFer passed. Comiskey's Grandson had the exact same name and middle initial. He was also owner of Chicago White Sox. He passed away less than ten years ago, and his autograph retails for around $50. I have no idea the added value since this is a "1/1".

Technically, the back is a bit deceiving, as it Left out the "II" in his name, but is otherwise correct.

See this lot for an example of Comiskey II's autograph-it is just like yours.

Bottom line is, this looks NOTHING like the HOFer and Thrifty owner of the Sox, :Charles Comiskey's, signature
