July autograph pickups

[Case12]

Starting to pick up some 19th century ball player signatures. Not expensive, but fun to learn their history.

Also picked up this Bobby Shantz for the inscription.

The sticker on the index card shows what type of #@&$*?!! PSA is. Did they really need to put the sticker over the writing? Fornicating clowns!!

I appreciate that UD is doing on-card sigs, not stickers. As for Chavez, well, he is one of the ATGs in boxing but his signature is chicken scratch and I've never felt comfortable adding a card of his to my collection, even with a TPG cert. This issue turned out to be the perfect solution.

Jesus H. Christ! WTF is wrong with PSA? They had to put their sticker right over the word "Baltimore"? The blank corner of the 3x5 wouldn't do? Assholes.

That is truly asinine, arrogant, clueless, careless or all of it.
And to think someone actually paid them to do that.
Fortunately it's on the back.

This just arrived today. Fred played from 1899 to 1911. He was in the very first World Series in 1903, with the winning Boston Pilgrims (Americans). Not expensive, but love the history.
