Questions on gold HOF plaque postcards

[sicollector1954]

I would be curious to confirm the fact that Weiss did not attend his own induction as I sold a HOF autographed baseball through Heritage about 6 months ago. It had a PSA letter with it and also a George Weiss sig on it. Only the Campanella was determined to be secretarial or signed by his wife if I remember.

The HOF website has a "Roll Call" section that pops open this PDF detailing every HOFer to attend each of the the ceremonies. Weiss was inducted in 1971 and passed in 1972. You can see his name is not listed here for either ceremony.

That's not to say that someone didn't have Weiss sign the ball prior to his induction I suppose.

Interesting to say the least. Baseball was in the October 25-27 Heritage auction. Lot # 82003 and on the 5th pic down if you go to the archive items--you can see the Weiss sig. I always thought it was a great ball to have since he could have only supposedly signed that 1 year. I do recall seeing one other a few years ago also with his sig on it but maybe it is indeed not his signature! Thanks
