Maybe we should start a thread dedicated to HOF autograph collections!

Collecting autographed books never really entered my mind, but that seems like a great way to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone by getting the autograph of the player as a player and author as well as getting an antique and rare book dealing with the national pastime.
Do you know how many players authored books? Not counting maybe the modern era. I know every superstar from the 70s onward seems to have done a book. |

A number of the great early baseball books were done by hall of famers or ghost writers for them, including Chadwick, Evers, Ruth, Spalding, Cochrane, Harris, Mathewson, Ward, Comisky, Anson, White, and Cobb One of the best is Spalding's, America's National Game, which can be found inscribed, often to a person with significant baseball association. I totally agree with your reasoning.
