Here's a few more that I wonder about---
A signed Gwynn rookie that's dated. It was an eBay pick up and I'm not sure it was signed that day? but thought it was cool regardless.

Also curious what folks/the experts here may think about the Snider, Aaron? Neither were sold as being early sigs, but they just looked older to me.

And finally this Williams and Koufax, though I realize it's possibly just the style pens that make me curious.

Super Mantle auto!! Note the Ruth-like, epsilon "E" in Mickey - a letter form that Mantle only used during 1950 with Joplin!!
