May Autograph Pickups

Brad,
That Ruth is obviously a horrible forgery. I think you should send it to me immediately so I can destroy it for you. You know me, always trying to help.

It's really beautiful. Congrats.

Picked this up off of Craigslist! 1937 Nebraska football team signed by nearly the entire team (missing only one signature)...there are more sigs on the photo than there are players and coaches represented though....some that didn't make the photo signed on the righthand margin. The one guy who didn't sign it passed away in 2013 at age 96...too bad the original owner didn't try to get it completed.

He was probably the original owner as was usually the case with the missing signature on these team photos

The guy I bought it from told me he had it over 20 years...the guy who didn't sign was Myers "Bud" Cather who was an ad man in New York, and then became the president of Bristol-Myers. I suppose it's possible, but I don't think the guy was living in Nebraska at any point in the last 60 years. Perhaps it was something he let go before he left Nebraska? I like your theory though, why would the guy need an autograph of himself?

I only say that as it was often the case with many team signed photos I have come across in my area and other team signed items I have bought and sold over the years. Oftentimes the owner does not sign their own photo. Had it not been signed by every other person, I might guess it was just an omission. Either way, that's a hell of a photo. I collect Gopher items from their championship years in the 30-40's and would love to find an item like that. Take care, Jason

Why can't I ever find something like this on Craiglist? All I ever find is unopened boxed of 1988 Donruss
