Picked up a few of these from Bryan on the BST, I think they look great! Does anyone else collect these? Here's what I picked up:

The Lindstrom looks great , but just a word of caution BEWARE of some signed Christmas cards !

ESPECIALLY ....Martin DiHigo. I referenced this in a previous signature study I did on Cuban Baseball. The fake DiHigo items were signed Christmas cards and Old books signed on the title page, they were coming directly out of Cuba and from a seemingly reliable source.

The forgers seem to love Ruth and Gehrig fake autographs on Christmas cards too.

I recently bought an Xmas card from the Chief to "Zack". I suspect it is to Zack Wheat. They were teammates after Chief left the Giants and Meyers remained a Dodger to his dying day. This card validates that theory somewhat for me. To late to post a pic now, but I'll do it later.

Bought this a couple of months ago. Not so much as a useless COA, but it looked good to me. I wondered if it could be written to Zack Wheat. After comparing the printing from the earlier example and learning that he and Zack were good friends and exchanged cards (thanks to Kenny) I feel good about it.

Another I think is neat. Pretty sure this is Stan's signature and not his wife as I have two cards signed by him and they look identical.

The printing on both Meyers looks the same to me Ken. Nice pick up.

Here's mine:
Great topic! This is always one of my favorite threads.

Here is my (HOF) Walter Johnson circa early 1940's signed Christmas Card. This Christmas card originated from one of Walter's neighbors in MD.
The Christmas (Season's Greetings) card is still taped into a copy of the juvenile book entitled "Walter Johnson King of the Pitchers" by Roger Treat.

Enjoy!
