1894 Phillies
 

Anybody have signature of any player from 1894 Phillies? There is Ed Delahanty. Any others? I can't find any on Google.

A Sam Thompson written & signed (first name only) postcard recently
sold in REA auction. I was not the successful bidder on that item.

Below is the 1894 Philadelphia roster, per BaseballReference website:

I have had five signatures from that list before and still have a Wehying and Bob Allen. There were a couple handwritten letters from Jack Fanning I might still have scans of somewhere. They are ALL very rare.

I read in The Great 19th Century Baseball Encyclopedia that this is the greatest hitting team of all time. Everyone hit over .300 that year, including the pitchers. Thought I might find one of the lesser guys to add to the collection. Doesn't sound promising. :-)

400-500 minimum on the easiest of these guys with others being much more if they ever were found or came up for sale.

Thank you very much for the feedback and sharing the info. I will add this to my bucket list....
