Benton and Bing Miller are other examples of easy acquisitions of long-deceased players, but, again, tougher on certain media such as cards. I've seen a few '33 Goudey Bentons out there, but never a Bing Miller. The Miller signature on that card is more stilted than I am used to. It also appears to be signed in ballpoint, so perhaps he was having trouble with the pen on that surface--who knows? As a side note, Miller was close to his teammate (and my old buddy) Joe Hauser, even serving as his best man at Joe's 1924 wedding. I once sold a Bing Miller cut signature to a guy in Scotland, who, like the player, was named Edmund John Miller.
