I recall seeing pictures of T206s signed by Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson, and I think a Tris Speaker, but other than those, I can't think of any others (except for the ones T206Collector mentions). Even with Cobb, the known signed T206s of him may well be in the single digits.
It may be a good indication, that of the Christy Mathewson signatures I've seen, I can't remember ever seeing a T206 signed by him.
I wonder, and I suppose they would be well known if they did exist, but does anyone know of a signed T206 Eddie Plank or Honus Wagner?
Another indication of baseball cards not being used for autographs until after WWII, might be the fact that the only N172 I recall hearing about, is a Connie Mack. Heck, with all the Babe Ruth autographs around, you don't see his Goudey cards signed by him.
