 Honus Wagner, Hornsby, More Signed Book PSA/DNA
<B>Amazing 1930's Child's Autograph Scrapbook with Rare Hall of Fame Signatures</B></I> Franklin Young, the boy who compiled this wonderful assortment of newspaper clippings and flawless ink signatures, obviously took this hobby very seriously. The newspaper photographs and articles are cut with military precision, glued careful to the pages without the slightest crooked angle. And he chose his subjects well. Though there are obvious sentimental favorites, and the book tends toward the Pittsburgh Pirates, he is sure to include the men who were making the biggest noise in the sports pages as well, offering some of the finest vintage signatures from the Hall of Famers of the day that we've seen. Well over 125 autographs are compiled in this thrilling volume, and while many of the pages have come loose from the bindings, and are often chipping at the edges, not a single autograph is adversely affected. Occasionally the boy had the ballplayers sign the newspaper clipping itself, and other times they would sign the page beside the clipping instead. For description's sake, we will note (clip) beside the autographs that are on the newspaper image itself. Highlights include: Rogers Hornsby (2), Orel Hildebrand, Jim Bottomley, Rogers Hornsby (clip), Charlie Grimm (2), Augie Galan (2), Charlie Root, Tony Lazzeri, Gabby Hartnett, Lon Warneke, Pie Traynor (3), Arky Vaughan (clip, 2), Cookie Lavagetto, Grimm/Hartnett/Root together below a photo of all three, Honus Wagner (amazing, huge and perfect signature!), Waite Hoyt (edge wear barely touches unpersonalized inscription), Paul Waner, Cookie Lavagetto (clip), Fred Schulte, Paul Waner (clip), Monty Stratton, Ted Lyons, Jimmie Dykes, Dizzy Dean and Paul Dean side by side, scorecard signed by Jimmie Dykes, Luke Sewell and three more White Sox. Each autograph in the book is accompanied by its own, separate Global certificate of authenticity, so breakdown possibilities are tremendous. An amazing opportunity for both dealers and collectors. <I>LOA from PSA/DNA.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
