Sam Jones Help (Baseball)

[Republicaninmass]

I believe they were both Sad Sam, and that looks like the earlier player. The latter player his signature is not as clean, but is is rare and havent seen more than a few

that is what is confusing me i think its the earlier player but whats the chance of having a postmark from cleveland ohio in 1952

The autograph you have is of Sam Jones who pitched for the Cleveland Indians who was also referred to as "toothpick". There was a thread discussing the two variances on net54 before but I don't recall the actual post date.

The guy who was supposedly illiterate ?

Aaaand (from the thread) "whats odd is BOTH Sam Jones have similar signature slants up and to the right"


I'd wager the PSA examples with smooth writing are forgeries, as well as the 2 sgc signed slabbed examples
