The style of G in this one is different than what I have seen in more contemporary versions of his signature.
Obtaining vintage autographs is new to me. A vast majority of my collection is comprised of signatures I obtained myself. I recently obtained a 1941 Satchel Paige autographed photo and have since been drawn to vintage signed photographs. However, I have very little knowledge of this area of collecting and don't want to be foolish with my limited resources. I took a risk buying this Gomez without educating myself. Based on eBay sales I see that Gomez isn't a very rare autograph or expensive. How much of a premium is placed on vintage autographs? |
Here is a 1935 In-Person Gomez to compare yours too, a decade apart but still a good match
