1930's Debut Year Baseball Autographs, MOST RARE

[stat192]

Just reviving this old thread. I picked up these Charles Wiedemeyer autographs in yesterdays Robert Edwards Auction. Jim Stinson said in this post maybe one exists. I honestly never thought I would find one, let alone two. Open to trade or sell one if any one needs him

I saw that lot and figured it might slip through the cracks but had no idea there were two in there! Great pickup!

Love it when some of these older posts get a fresh breath of air.

I would be curious to know if/how much Jim's initial estimates have changed over the past 12 years.

Now I need to find my Heilbronner informational card signed by "Robert Dietz" and I will call it a Charles Weidemeyer!

I know this player missed the era by 2 years, but I wanted to post and see if this one is rare. It is of Charlie "Chip" Marshall who played 1 game in the major leagues for the Cardinals in 1941. He played mainly in the minors from 1937-42. Any thoughts of the rarity?

Extremely common. Great signer and lived a long time.

I really wonder why a player would have used a fake name while playing in the minors back then

I wonder if many of the players from the 1920s and 30s with no known examples are due to the simple fact that they never learned to write, not even their names. I don't think that was uncommon in that time, especially with many players coming out of rural and backwoods area.
