Cicotte certainly isn't difficult, but people will pay $300+ for a nice one. He is on the easy side of expensive, so to speak. Like a Hall of Famer who lived a long time. Sam Crawford is a good comp for him in terms of price and availability.

For sure Crawford signed more, and his autograph is way more available.
I definitely pay a premium for fountain pen signatures, all things equal — especially those players who are easier to find because they lived into the 1970s. Larry Doyle is a great example. Super easy to find with a ballpoint signature, but really tough to find with a fountain pen signature.

Bob "Dusty" Rhoads and Jess Tannehill
Paul,
FWIW, I would elevate Bob "Dusty" Rhoads and Jess Tannehill into the more most difficult category, especially if you want it to be an earlier fountain pen signature. Otherwise I pretty much agree with your list. Right on & great post! Last edited by Scott Garner; 03-08-2024 at 02:59 AM. |

Okay, but who would you move up to an easier level than those two?

I would argue that Deacon Phillipe and Hooks Wiltse are much easier to find, IMHO. Last edited by Scott Garner; 03-08-2024 at 03:04 AM. |

Fountain pen examples aside, I'd put Rhoads into the second-easiest category and Tannehill into the second toughest.
There have definitely been more Philippes hitting the market lately than we've experienced in quite some time. Wiltse's availability fluctuates as well. There will always be the lulls and relatively bountiful periods of availability with some of these, that's for sure, so several players will never permanently fit into one spot on the list. I've been monitoring all of them forever; not because they're T206 subjects, but I just keep tabs on all autograph availability. |
