Vintage tennis signatures: William Tilden

[baseballart]

Thanks Jim. Love the address for Tilden's sign-in on your sheet.

As for the signature in my book, it's a nice example. However, as a book guy, I think I made a fundamental mistake in bidding--when I bid, I thought this was a book by Tilden but now in the light of day, I'm not so sure! Hunt's didn't have a scan, and the title isn't listed on LOC or bookfinder.com. Hunts didn't state that it was by Tilden, so I should have asked.

I'm still happy with the purchase, but likely overpaid by a considerable sum if it's not a book by Tilden (he did write a least two fiction books, including Glory's Net). Oh well, I think that the surprise of what will arrive will more than make up for any fiscal disappointment.

I did purchase two other book lots from Hunts at lower prices than expected, so I suspect it all evens out.

It is a book actually authored by Tilden. I googled "pinch quitters" instead of "pinch quitter" which is why I couldn't find any hits.
