Posted By: anthony

i've been kicking the idea around of adding a signed t206 card to my collection without breaking the bank (or having to rob one). not looking for a major star and not seeing many to begin with, what is the price range for these?? i've only come across maybe 10 or so for sale and at the time i thought they were pretty high

Signed T206s are scarce but are found in auctions from time to time. I've seen Cobb, Cicotte, Young, Chance, etc, which will be expensive.

Signed 1933-4 Goudeys and Play Balls can be found regularly, and are much more affordable. You might be able to get a Waite Hoyt or Burleigh Grimes signed Goudey for under $100.

getting baseball cards autographed took off in the 1970's. before that it was common to get signatures on index cards and autograph books,scorecards and yearbooks. by the 70's there just weren't a lot of players who appeared on t cards alive. finding any pre war(ww1) cards with auto's is not easy.

Marquard is by far the easiest T206 to find, which is a relative term, since I've seen about 5-6 Marquard. I also know of a Cobb, Doyle, D. Jones, Livingston, Rucker, Snodgrass and Wheat. There is a T205 signed Cobb in the latest Mastro.

Anthony,

Probably because Marquard was the oldest living player from the set. Being that he died in 1980, Marquard's tend to be more plentiful.

With baseball autographs, there is a strong correlation between supply and when the player died. A rule of thumb gauge to judge the rarity of a player's autograph is to look up what year he died.

If memory serves me correctly the reason that Marquard may appear more than others is the fact that he was a most accomodating signer through the mail and the fact that Jack Smalling had several copies of Marquard in his mail order auction throughout the 80's and 90's.

His books listing players' current addresses have been indispensable for anyone who collects baseball player autographs through the mail.

actually art butler was the last to die in the set in 1984. I think Marquard is the most common because with the exception of flick and wheat dying in the early 70's, marquard outlived all the other hofer by decades. He was still alive when the National first started going! I remember trying to find a t207 of chester hoff to get signed in 1995 but that card was really hard to find in the pre internet days. I have a genuine mcginnity signed t206 and have had a bresnahan. Someone on here has a doyle. Someone sold one last month on ebay that was signed BY THE WRONG guy and it went for well over $100. I dont understand why there arent more though as people did get autographs frequently back than. I have 161 different signed 33 goudeys and 20 years shouldnt make much of a difference.

That is quite an assembly of T206 signatures!
I know that the Conlon sets are modern, but as soon as they hit the market in 1991, I managed to obtain the signature of the few players still living on their individual card. I believe everyone is now deceased that was on a Conlon card.

George,

Not true! Two players from that set are still alive and signing. Linus "Lonnie" Frey and Billie Werber. Mr. Frey signed a Conlon for me last year and wrote a wonderful note from his home in Idaho. Conlon and Werber are also the last players alive from the 1934 Goudey set. Coincidentally, both comprised the 1940 Reds World Series team infield left-side. Mr. Frey is 98 and Werber (the first Duke All-American in basketball, Ruth's last alive teammate, and first ever player to bat on live TV)is set to turn 99 soon. Werber signed a 1938 Goudey card for me last year from his apartment in North Carolina and sent me a nice note. At last check there are 6 players alive from the 1940 Play Ball and 8 more alive from the 1941 Play Ball series.

James

Thanks for the info. I didn't know Lonny Frey was still with us. I don't even recall Werber being in the sets so it looks like I missed one. I thought Charlie Devens had been the last surviving teammate of Babe Ruth. Also, I just remembered that Bobby Doerr is still alive and he had a Conlon card. This forum is really a valuable reference with so many members knowledgable about baseball history.
