Bill Nunn
Not baseball related but pertaining to subject topic. I am from Pittsburgh so I collected Pirates/Steelers autographs in the 70's. The Steelers' had a black scout by the name of Bill Nunn. He was responsible for recruiting some of the big names of the black Steelers such as Joe Greene etc. I sent him a couple of the Pro-Set Super Bowl cards from the 90/91 set to sign. He obliged and signed them and at the bottom of my request letter he signed thank you for keeping him and mind and signed Bill. Well a couple years back, he got elected to the Football HOF. He is almost impossible to find a signature of cause no one was writing to scouts. When he was elected, I moved that note within an hour of listing for a coo $1000. So in response to the question, there is a market for that sort of thing for the right person.
