November Autograph pickups

Back from PSA today:

From what I see on the population report, the Dressen (d. 66) is a pop 1 and the Keane (d. 67) is a pop 3.

These are both from a vintage TTM collection and even have a paperclip indentation from where they were likely attached to a letter.

Beautiful Hornsby! I'd like to add one someday as well!

Thank you for the compliments on the Keane and Hornsby!

Minor pickup but I really like the way the leather-bound Easton Press books present and picked a few up recently...

I picket this one up, I have been wanting a rookie era Mantle signature.

A beauty!!!

Kind of cool content in this letter signed by American League president Joe Cronin. He mentions Ban Johnson, ES Barnard, and William Harridge.

The letter is on the website CooperstownExpert.com along with the autographs of all but HoFers whose MLB debut came after 1900. The site has a ton of examples of baseball autographs.

Elbie Fletcher led the league in on-base percentage for three straight years, made the All Star team, then entered WWII after his age-27 season. The bulk of his career was with the Pirates when Honus Wagner was a coach. Fletcher writes some pretty fun stuff about Wagner's "tall stories" of playing without a glove and sharpening his spikes.

The second letter is Wagner's autograph. Though it wasn't picked up this month, it seemed like a nice place to include it too. Those two pieces and many others can be found on CooperstownExpert.com.
