Pretty sure that's the 2nd time this one has been up for sale this year. Guessing it didn't sell the first time. I'm not an expert on sigs., but I too
checked it out a few months back and compared to his other sigs and this one just does not look like his others.

Also, a pretty common name, so worried its just another George Weaver.

Last, I think that Written Word has a few bad reviews if you do a search.

So just too many red flags.

It could be an early sig. Threre are a couple of tells that occur in later sigs too but also some that are very different. With that said, I avoid anything these days if my conclusion is it "could be". I know it's a hard one to find, but tread carefully. Good luck.

Bought a lot of 1919 Sox Heilbroner Info Cards which included a signed Dick Kerr but really was after this one. I feel ths "This is correct" is in Jenkins hand, but the pencil "Joseph" probably isnt. Anyone out there have a Joe jenkins autograph? This is the closest I have come

The Reds is the cover of the Roto section in the Chicago Sunday Tribune on Sept 21, 1919.

The Sox is a blank backed supplement to the same paper dated a week earlier (Sept 14, 1919).

Both are about 12 X 17.5 inches.

Got excited when I saw this. It doesn't really fit in my collection so I may end up moving it when something comes along that is more of a fit, but I think it is super cool.

One of the most fascinating people around. Some of the details on the back.

Thanks! I saw it and thought it was super cool. Love that he signed his name and included details on the back (like playing under the name "Arnold" etc. Some things I would have thought he might have kept quiet.

WOW. Not sure How I missed this.
But I have a Postcard of the Sox that used the same exact layouts/pictures of that Chicago Sunday Tribune

We both win.

Mine is cooler than yours, and yours is more valuable than mine.

Hi Doug

I agree we both win and I agree yours is really cool and I do like the Size.

This thread is amazing and I am a Jackson enthusiast and never really knew how much non card items there are for him and seeing the Black Socks Characters and other items here is really really interesting

I dont know if we are suppose to post cards in this topic/thread or not...Im just realizing that...but I picked up a 1912 Zeenut Home Run Kisses Win Noyes which completes his 4 card checklist for me (I think)
1911 Zeenut, 1912 Zeenut, 1912 Home Run Kisses, 1916 Zeenut

A couple nice framed pieces that I enjoy....

[JimmyArcher]

Here's a piece that is a little bit off the beaten path from most of my Black Sox collection.

Its a piece of sheet music picturing the vaudeville act, the 4 Cook Sisters. Helen Cook, of the group, would go on to become Buck Weaver's wife.

[mrreality68]

Jason you are right it is very much off the beaten path.

But that is a great tie in to this thread.

Love it
