T206 Player Autographs - Examples Needed

T206Collector · #1 03-25-2021, 05:24 PM

I have spent many years combing through old auctions and the World War I draft card registry and am having trouble finding scans/pics of autographs for several players in the T206 set. Not surprisingly, most of the missing names are Southern Leaguers, Minor Leaguers and/or those who died young. When I first started this post, I needed 70; but, thanks to all of the great responses from members here (and the continuation of my own obsessive research), I am now down to just 11 missing examples!

If anyone has visual examples of any of the players listed below, I would appreciate if you could send me an image. You can PM me, post it here, or email me at SignedT206@gmail.com

Thanks for your help!

Hi Paul,
I just sent you pics of a nice Ted Breitenstein exemplar out of my personal collection.
Cheers!

Here is a Fred Payne example. A few others can be found in the deadball stars book like Fielder Jones for example

Found a few more in my digging through old war records. Updated above to reflect this. Anybody got an image of an autograph for any of the remaining folks?

Thanks for the help!

I had a few Bud Sharpe autographs and sold my last one through Jim Stinson around Christmas time, I bet he still has a scan somewhere. There are a few others I either have now or have had in the past and might still have scans of, I will look and see if any are still on my example hard drive.
