Carl Lundgren, Red Grange, Joe Gum & 1924 University of Illinois Baseball

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I am definitely not a handwriting expert and but saw some similarities and I know writing changes over time. I had a hard time finding a non-signature writing sample and I don't think I saw any writing from his college or early pro days, so I have my fingers crossed that someone who knows hand writing will chime in. Would PSA, JSA, etc, authenticate something like this as being signed by Grange if the writing is in fact a match?

The Saturday Evening Post story seems like such a match for Grange that it feels likely to me that he signed that way as a joke - though that is obviously what I am hoping for too.

David, I love that Grange photo - it must have been taken at the same time as mine. What are the dimensions?

Steve, I just added some info on who signed and who didn't.

Other Steve, I spend a lot of time in chasing things down rabbit holes, I love that part of collecting.

I posted the Grange/Gum question on the memorabilia side (and now see that there is an autograph forum where I probably should have put it). I wanted to link the two in the main thread:

I thought I'd bump this to see if anyone has any early 1920s Red Grange writing samples, the longer the better.

Thanks
