T206 Player Autographs - Examples Needed
I have spent many weeks combing through old auctions and the World War I draft card registry and am having trouble finding scans/pics of autographs for several players in the T206 set. Not surprisingly, most of the missing names are Southern Leaguers, Minor Leaguers and/or those who died young. When I first started posting here, I needed 70; but, thanks to all of the great responses, I am now down to just 20 missing!
If anyone has visual examples of any of the players listed below, I would appreciate if you could send me an image. You can PM me, post it here, or email me at SignedT206@gmail.com Thanks for your help! NOW MISSING 18 (Last Updated 09-06-23) Major Leaguers Burch, Al (d.1926) Donahue, Jiggs (d.1913) Nichols, Simon (d.1911) Powers, Doc (d.1909) Minor Leaguers Adkins, Doc (d.1934) Barry, Shad (d.1936) O'Brien, Pete (d.1917) Phelan, Jimmy (N/A) Poland, Phil (N/A) Southern Leaguers Carey, Scoops (d.1916) King, Frank (d.1944) McCauley, Pat (d.1917) Miller, Molly (N/A) Reagan, Ed (N/A) Ryan, Ray (N/A) Smith, Carlos (N/A) Violat, (Viola) Juan (d.1919) White, Foley (N/A)

Found a few more in my digging through old war records. Updated above to reflect this. Anybody got an image of an autograph for any of the remaining folks?
Thanks for the help!

I had a few Bud Sharpe autographs and sold my last one through Jim Stinson around Christmas time, I bet he still has a scan somewhere. There are a few others I either have now or have had in the past and might still have scans of, I will look and see if any are still on my example hard drive.

Rhys,
Do you still have your scan of George Henry “Heinie” Smith signature you sold many years ago ? That is one of the remaining names on Paul’s list Last edited by HexsHeroes; 04-17-2021 at 07:02 PM. |

James Doc Casey ...
Sometime around 1/12/2003, in his Autographs for sale Listing #199 (item 254), Jim Stinson offered a signed 6x8 turn of the century cabinet photo signed by James Doc Casey. Jim posted an image of that item in the listing.
In his Update Listing distributed around 7/24/2009, Jim also offered for sale a closely cropped signature cut (attached to 3x5 index card) of Jimmy Doc Casey, taken from a 1903 Chicago Cubs scrapbook. But an image of that cut was not displayed. Perhaps Jim still has images saved for either item. Or, perhaps another Net54 OC member has Jim’s original #199 listing with the offered 6x8 cabinet photo, and would take and post a snapshot of that printed image.

Additional Info?
Even if there is no signature available, I'll take biographical information about birth and/or death for the ones I'm missing.
I understand why Donahue, Nichols, Powers, and Unglaub don't have draft registration cards or other documents showing their signatures (they died young), but what about George Bell (other than his T205 facsimile signature), who died in 1941, or Al Burch, who died in 1926? Those should be possible, no? And Bill Cranston died in 1970! How can it be that no one has ever surfaced a signature of his before? Please help!

Paul Davidson
I'm marking Paul Davidson as found on his Draft WW1 Registration card. I'd put the accuracy on this one closer to "more likely than not" than "for sure." But there's enough here to give me some level of confidence that it's the same guy.
Yes, I realize it says "Davison" without the "D" at the top; but it sure looks like Davidson, with the D in the signature. Anyway, if you've got a better lead let me know!
