Love these fountain pen autographs!
Paul Dean pitched his no-hitter on September 21, 1934 in game 2 of a doubleheader. Brother Dizzy Dean pitched and also got a win in game 1 of the DH.

That's a beautiful piece! I love that it has a period photo attached as well!
Here's one that I just picked up, a seldom seen signature of William "Kayo" Lam, quarterback/halfback for the University of Colorado from 1933-1935. Lam led the nation in rushing yards back to back years and was the first CU athlete to play in a post-season all star game, the 1936 East-West game. Lam was a very achomplished man over eight decades and one of my personal favorites when it comes to our alumni at the University of Colorado.
Lam signed the 3x5 at the above mentioned East-West game in what would be his final time padding up for Colorado.
