"The Unauthenticatables"

[Bridwell]

I have my doubts about the Frank Smith auto on the T206 being legit. Not enough similarities to the other samples. The McElveen looks pretty good though!

Yeah Ron, Smith is no good, like JBirkholm said from the start. McElveen does look good though, would help to have more pixels in the T206 scan to be more sure. McElveen signed the registration card twice, top and bottom.

Found this Dorner in a google search, index card:

Very interesting thread. I am pulling for the Frank Smith auto to be authentic, as it is beautiful.

Did not know Pryor McElveen was a Tennessean as well.

uh hem, what about my lewis richie?

Looks very close. Can you 'save as' (Ritchie's draft card) on at the ancestry site and upload it? I no longer have access to the site. The screen shot is small.

I have a built in affection for Pryor McElveen...his was the first T card I ever owned and I recently replaced that long lost card with the one below...

Now this may be the dumb question/observation, but is that not his "signature" on the card? Would assume that the T205 set could serve as a good marker for what obscure players sigs looked like...at least for the N.L. teams that incorporated sigs in the card design...
