Autographed vintage rookie cards?

[DW03]

If you pc someone you absolutely want signed cards, but overall these will continue to be desired more and more as time goes on especially of players that passed away pre 80s. I pc a guy no one really knows, Earl Whitehill, who died in 1954 and I just acquired a signed 1929 kashin. Any signed cards by him are my holy grails. Still trying to get a signed goudey wish me luck I think there's only a couple.

The signed cards really increase in value once the player is no longer vertical.

I don't have a lot of pre-war but I do have about 40 post-war signed HOF rookie cards.

Although i sold these off, I still think there is a lot of upside for signed cards

Since these are over 40 years old I am calling them vintage. I bought these awesome rookie era autographed cards from a fellow member.

Signed vintage is going to continue to grow in demand. Most collectors that become interested in vintage cards migrated over from the ultra modern side of the hobby where on-card autos are a huge chase. All the top cards on that side of the fence are signed. When they transition over to vintage, they bring that love of signed cards with them. The percentage of the hobby made up by boomer collectors who think that autographs deface cards (some of whom even think it should result in an "altered" grade) is getting smaller every year.

Signed vintage will absolutely outpace unsigned vintage over the next 20+ years. Perhaps even by a wide margin.
