What? That Cy's on there twice? Or is it, how it appears as though the Wagner is following that stain, almost as if the stain were already present when it was signed? Somehow the Ruth, Wagner, and Cobb are the only three that don't seem to directly make contact with any other signature, and that there almost appears to be too much thought put into the placement of one or all 3 of them?

The one thing that I love about this is the handwriting in the address. It's absolutely mesmerizing..

Candidly, the seller's feedback history is the thing that caught my eye. It looks as if this seller changed gears in a not-so-insignificant-way.

Again, I would appreciate feedback here.

I wouldn't pay that much for the piece but I sure wouldn't mind owning it.

I could put together a nice collection of the individual autographs for a lot less than what that one piece is going for, but you have to admit, that's a pretty cool piece.

I also noticed the feedback, until one year ago the seller sold nothing above $40 all of the sudden he has a quarter of a million in memorabilia.

This sold for 11,750 in 2008.

I personally would like this one better.

Wasn't there an article (or blog post) or maybe even a thread on Net54 concerning a post card like this that was thought to be fake? I seem to remember something like this autographed post card being discussed within the last few years.

My guess is the unidentified signature is the Post Master from Cooperstown. Bet if you looked it up and found info for the Post Master at that time who probably hand cancelled that post card, it would solve the mystery.

Just my opinion...

I think it had something to do with a once completely faded Wagner that suddenly re-appeared...I could be wrong, but I don't think that this was the one..

I'd look for it, but the search function has been including everything under the sun when I search anymore.. So I can never find what I'm looking for..

The item you are thinking of was written up on "Hauls of Shame". It was a similar cover where it was well documented that the item was sold without a signature in a spot and Spence certed it with a signature in that spot. I believe it was Eddie Collins. If you go back in the 'Hauls' archives you will find the article predates the Christy Matthewson signed baseball article. I looked at it last evening.
