1939-41 Pacific Coast League signed "sheet" with 23 autographs

[Chris Counts]

Here is what looks like a signed sheet of Pacific Coast League autographs from 1939-41. It comes out of a scrapbook I recently purchased that was basically falling apart. I detached the back cover, which features 23 mostly pencil signatures that apparently were cut from an autograph book and pasted here in five panels. Most played for the Seattle Raniers, while some played for the Los Angeles Angels. Included are Joe Coscaret (d. 1993), Edo Vanni (d. 2007), JoJo White (d. 1986), Gilly Campbell (d. 1973), (radio announcer) Leo Lassen (d. 1975), George Archie (d. 2001), Dick Barrett (d. 1966), Bill Walker (d. 1966), Mike Hunt, Red Van Fleet, Ed Selway, Paul McGinnis, Bob Stagg, Dewey Soriano, Jack Rothrock,Lou Stringer, Truck Hannah, Ripper Collins (d. 1970), Buddy Hancken, Dick Gyselman (d. 1990), Sid Baker (I'm not sure he was a player) and one I can't make out, but since it has a "Dr." in front of it, I'm guessing it's the Solons' trainer.

Walker, Rothrock and Collins were all key members on the 1934 Cardinals' famous Gashouse Gang team (Collins led the league in home runs), while Barrett was a PCL legend (325 career wins in the minors) who died young.

There's lots of tough autographs here. I'm asking $150 or best offer, and I'll cover the shipping and insurance. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking, Chris
