Foster also attended a very early Negro League reunion where he signed. I recall one multi-signed baseball from this event which he autographed, humbly adding "for Rube Foster" underneath his signature.

About 5-7 years ago, the family auctioned his personal bible which contained three full signatures (William H Foster), along with the full name of his son (William Douglas Foster). Ron K. and I had a debate whether or not the son's name (William Douglas Foster) constitutes an autograph (I said yes, he said no). I know that at least three are owned by members of this board. Here is my signature from the bible

He is difficult to find but my no means impossible or ultra rare or scarce , in fact in my experience/opinion I wouldn't place him in the top 25 rarest HoFers. In my collection I now have 2 but at one time I had 5 of his signatures in my collection on a 3x5, a check,a mortgage deed,a tax form , and a newspaper article naming him as one of the next Negro Leaguers who should be in the HoF. Bill Corcoran from 2001- 2007 was a great source of Bill Foster autographs , and I purchased most of mine from him privately. Also Jim Stinson offered a few as well.
With Foster all you need is patience to acquire him and upgrading his signature is possible and he is a very affordable autograph unlike Rube whom you take what you can get when he comes to market and be prepared to pay, and who truly is a top 12 in rarity. PS Frank I've always liked the bible in your collection. Last edited by Klrdds; 04-15-2020 at 07:38 AM.
