Some of these players like George, Van Brocklin & Waterfield were regular signers from what I heard. I don't think that football autographs were as common as baseball back then so that would factor into how many survived.
I too have been trying to put together a collection of all the football HOF'ers and can tell you that certain mediums are nearly impossible to find. Most of the collectors I know gave up trying to get everything on one medium type. It's not that different from baseball.
