Signed T206 Johnny Evers & Hughie Jennings
First Evers I've ever seen.... Any chance it's real? What about the Jennings?
Apparently, these cards reside in the Elliott Museum in Stuart, FL. The Elliott, as it is often called, was built in 1961 by Harmon Elliott as a tribute to his father Sterling Elliott, and on November 18, 1961, was given to the non-profit Historical Society of Martin County, which has operated it ever since. Most of the memorabilia comes from father Sterling himself. Wikipedia claims that at the time of the donation, Elliott "held the world record for the greatest baseball card collection in existence." I've never even heard of the guy.... Am I just ignorant?
